Someone who wants to buy or sell real estate doesn\u2019t need to know where you live, who\u2019s in your family, or where you spend your vacation. This advice applies to social media, too, where you can never be sure who\u2019s seeing your posts.\nYou Leave Your Phone in the Other Room\nYou may think it\u2019s fine to leave your phone in the kitchen while you show a property so you can focus all your attention on your client. But what if you need to call for help or someone steals it while you\u2019re a few rooms away?\nYou Don\u2019t Report Suspicious People\nDon\u2019t ignore uncomfortable situations because \u201cnothing bad happened.\u201d Reporting suspicious incidents raises awareness and can help prevent future attacks or other crimes.\nYou Think it Won\u2019t Happen to You\nMaybe you work in upscale neighborhoods or conduct all your showings during the day. It doesn\u2019t matter. Criminals work in all neighborhoods at all hours. Be alert and stay safe.\nFor more safety information and resources, visit nar.realtor\/safety.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your safety should always be a priority.
