I signed up on facebook.com about 2 weeks ago and within one week had a man contact me from the area that wants me to possibly list his home. Our first appointment is tonight at 6:30pm. I’m really very excited that I had been contacted that quickly in regards to real estate!
So yes, this is very exciting but, the real reason that I wanted to post this blog is because I want to simply remind everyone that you do need to be careful when someone is contacting you online. There are some real “crazies” out there and we all need to be careful.
It’s best to take someone with you, if possible and if you cannot, let the office know where you’re going and who you’re meeting. Also try setting up a “round about” time that you should be back at the office. Another good idea, is to carry mace, or anything else you can use to protect yourself, in an emergency situation.
Thanks for taking this advice into consideration and be safe!
