"🔑 Safety during viewings — simple rules for brokers of any gender
A broker’s work means meetings, viewings, construction sites, and travel. Sometimes, in all this hustle, we forget the small things that can make life much easier in unexpected situations. Here are a few simple habits worth making a rule:
1. Schedule viewings during the day — it’s more comfortable for both you and your clients.
2. Let colleagues know where you are — even a short message like “going to a viewing at the address…” helps everyone feel more at ease.
3. Use technology — turn on location sharing or use an app with an SOS button.
4. Proper construction site attire — a hard hat, safety vest, and closed-toe shoes are not just for builders, but for agents too.
5. Keep extras to a minimum — jewelry, large amounts of cash, and excessive personal information are best left at home.
6. Keep your phone charged — obvious, but it can save you in any situation.
7. Give the client a quick briefing — remind them about the hard hat, their belongings, and site rules.
