While it may not seem like a dangerous profession, the safety of real estate agents is often at risk.
An agent’s job entails meeting strangers and showing properties alone in remote locations.
Technology, however, plays a crucial role in helping to keep agents safe when they’re on location visiting properties with strangers.
Real estate agents often travel alone.
The app allows agents to assign emergency contacts as guardians.
V.ALRT is an ergonomically designed device that real estate agents can carry discreetly in their pocket or handbag or wear as a bracelet or pendant.
Emergency contacts will also receive the agent’s location.
Agents can purchase the V.ALRT wearable help button for $39.99.
Real estate agents aren’t the only ones at risk.
SafeShowings is an app that deters criminal activity by capturing and validating the identity of people that agents bring into a home.
Agents can start by registering their information, entering emergency contacts, and create a showing.
If agents do not press the button to end a showing, the app notifies all emergency contacts.
Agents can get the SafeShowings app for a monthly subscription of $4.50.
Silent Beacon is an app that equips agents with a panic button on their smartphone.
Silent Beacon provides the agent’s real-time location to contacts within five seconds.
Agents can also reach 911 directly through the app without having to speak with call center representatives and ask them to direct them to emergency centers.
This alerts the 24/7 response center, which contacts the appropriate emergency services with the agent’s GPS location.
With Trust Stamp, agents can verify a stranger’s identity by inviting potential clients via text or email to create a profile.
They can then share their profile with the agent.
Once potential clients share their profile, agents can see their name, photo, and a green, amber, or red safety indicator which communicates their level of trustworthiness
