DID YOU KNOW. . . over 60,000 Real Estate Agents have been the victim of VIOLENT CRIME??!!

On September 24, 2024, I received a normal email from Invisiwear, but I found out in a few seconds that this email was anything but a normal email from Invisiwear. 

I am only going to share the prelude.   You do NOT want to read about Beverly’s tragic fate.  

This is one of the reasons why I have created this SOLO! section for women who must meet with strangers, and/or work ALONE!!!   

I will be providing “TONS” of information, safety tips, self-defense videos, links to courses – including the course for Real Estate Agents at C.O.B.R.A.!!!

Safety Tips for WOMEN ALONE!
TikTok and YouTube Safety Tips & Videos

Carjacking Avoidance

Always park in well-lit areas

Don’t park near or next to obstructions like walls, etc.,

Choose an attended garage or use valet parking

While walking to your car, maintain situational awareness while alert to suspicious people sitting in cars

Ask for a security escort if you are alone at a shopping center and feel uncomfortable

Watch out for loiterers in the area

 

Maintain a posture of confidence

If being approached, change direction or go to a busy area

As you approach your car from a distance, look underneath

As you near your car, look around, and inside

Open the door and enter quickly, and lock the doors

Don’t become a target by turning your back while loading packages into the car

Once inside the car, start it and drive away immediately

6. Be alert. Never ride with headphones or an earpiece. You need to hear everything you possibly can.

  1. Always tell someone where you are going.
  2. Stay on well-traveled and well-lit roads. Don’t take shortcuts through woods, poorly lit areas, etc.
  3. If possible, run with a dog, a group or at least one other person.
  4. Ditch the headphones.
  5. Bring your phone.
  6. If someone looks shady to you, cross the street or go the other way.

3. During the night, park up close to the entrance, under or near a light.

4. Make a conscious effort to keep your head out of your phone!

5. Don’t stare straight ahead while you walk.

6. Don’t just look downward at your foot path in front of you while you walk.

7. Casually look around while you walk!

8. Don’t slouch. Keep your shoulders back and chin up. Look confident! Be aware of your body language.

9. Look further ahead than just your immediate path to observe what’s going on up there…

10. Change your course if it doesn’t ‘feel right’ ahead.

11. If a stranger approaches you with a question, it may be someone up to ‘no good’. Keep walking and avoid engagement. You may be being ‘sized up’.

Here are a few of our best practice steps for those working alone at night:

  • Make sure your family and friends know where you are, who you’re with and when you anticipate leaving. Staying in constant communication will alert your family if something is out of the ordinary.
  • Make use of any onsite security personnel, if any, when you leave your office and walk to your car.
  • Keep your phone and car keys handy. If you start to feel stressed you don’t want to find yourself fumbling around in your purse or pockets for keys and your phone.
  • Stay alert – don’t wear headphones while you work.

When you leave:

  • Ask for an escort to your car if there is onsite security personnel.
  • Lock your car as soon as you get inside.
  • Call your family to let them know you’re in your car and are on the way home.
