Help protect yourself
this month, and every month

September is Realtor Safety Month. Your personal safety is of utmost importance to all of us at Pillar To Post. Now is a great time to educate yourself and your clients on ways to protect and empower yourselves when showing and viewing a property. Prioritize safety by taking proactive measures with safety protocols and tools for you and your clients.

  • Use the lock/key/app procedure that has been established so that keys or codes don’t fall into the wrong hands.
  • Show properties before dark. If you must show a property after dark, alert or bring along an associate, turn on all lights as you go through, and keep window coverings open.
  • Check in with someone on your team once an hour to let people know where you are.
  • Prepare a scenario so that you can leave, or to encourage someone who makes you uncomfortable to leave. Examples: Your cell phone alerts and you have to call your office; you left some important information in your car; another agent with buyers is on the way.
  • Leave the front door unlocked for a quick exit while you and the client are inside. As you enter each room, stand near the door.
  • Lock your purse in the car trunk before you arrive. Carry only non-valuable business items (but hold on to your phone). Don’t wear expensive jewelry or watches, or appear to be carrying large sums of money.
  • Park at the curb in front of the property instead of in the driveway. It is much easier to escape in your vehicle if you don't have to back out of a driveway. And while parked in a driveway another vehicle could purposefully or accidentally trap you.

June is National Homeownership Month

June is National
Homeownership Month

preferred logos

June marks National Homeownership Month. It is a good time to focus on helping buyers make informed and confident decisions. From a home inspector’s perspective, realtors play an important role in that process. Recommending a thorough inspection is not about slowing a deal down. It is about giving buyers the information they need to move forward with confidence to enjoy their home safely, for years to come.

A quality inspection can also make negotiations easier by finding key issues early. This helps avoid last minute surprises and reduces the chance of deals falling apart. When everyone understands the condition of the home, transactions tend to move more smoothly and with fewer problems after closing.

At Pillar To Post, we focus on making this process simple and clear for both you and your clients. Our goal is to deliver easy to understand results and communicate findings in a balanced way that supports the transaction while ensuring confident homeownership for your client. In the long run, that transparency helps protect the homeowner and strengthens your reputation as a trusted advisor.
