BEWARE WHEN SHOWING PROPERTY!! ARKANSAS AGENT MISSING!
This is mostly for the women on BP, but, it is wise for men too. There's an Arkansas Realtor that went to show a property and hasn't been heard from since. Missing Realtor
As an agent over the years I have heard these stories before, and they are always horrific. Here's some advice especially for those in rural areas or rough neighborhoods:
1. NEVER go meet someone at a property if you haven't met them in person before.
2. ALWAYS have someone else go with you to meet people at a property.
3. Don't hold Open Houses alone.
4. Have some type of GPS tracking device, OTHER THAN YOUR PHONE!! It's a complicated process for Police to be able to track your phone without permission from YOU, not your spouse, parent, etc. There are many options that are inexpensive GPS TILE
5. If you're not opposed to it, get a concealed weapons permit and carry a gun! If not a gun, carry taser or ?
6. If nothing else is available, make sure you have your keys with you, press the faub and set off an alarm, maybe someone will hear it!
7. If you MUST go alone, let someone know where you are going, and check in (from your car) when you arrive safely maybe text a license plate number of the person you are meeting with.
