Personal safety requires being prudent. Meet the prospects in the office, identify them and have them pre-qualified before going out to look at homes.

If you fail to take these precautions, photograph the license plate and the car and the people and send the images to the person who knows where you are.

I prefer to meet them at my office initially, but I will definitely meet them at a property if they can't meet at the office.

Since most of my business is repeat and referral, it's not an issue I deal with a lot. But anyone else, absolutely, I first meet them at my office.

As a rule, I don't meet anyone whom I  don't know unless they are willing to come to the office.

I love Roy Kelley suggestion.  If I had doubts about someone, I always had one of the guys in the office accompany me if Ron could not.  We had a great listing that involved going through a yucky part of town, and one of our guys was a 3rd degree black belt in Tai Kwan doh...A

I had to open this up to see what CITO meant.  And, yes if at all possible I will try to get them in the office first.

Roy Kelley good suggestion.  It's not always realistic to meet at office.  I like the photo idea as a back-up.

No...I don't. It would probably be a good idea to do this, but I'm so rural, most everyone knows everyone else. I have googled people before...you know new buyers that just show up.
