PSA: Safety in the Real Estate Community

Why do we ask you for your information?

As a real estate professional, I was sad to hear of another brutal murder of an agent in Ontario this month.
Real estate agents take safety measures before meeting clients to protect themselves from potential risks, such as encountering dangerous individuals or being placed in vulnerable situations. Given that agents often meet with strangers in unfamiliar settings, ensuring their safety is paramount.
*Note, this information in the following list may be requested prior to meeting to discuss client needs and to sign the Buyer Broker Agreement that is required prior to presenting and showing property.

What an Agent May Ask For and Why:

Client Identification (e.g., driver’s license or ID):
Why: To verify the client’s identity and ensure they are who they claim to be, reducing the risk of meeting with someone who has malicious intentions.
Pre-qualification Letter or Proof of Funds:
Why: To confirm that the client is serious about purchasing a property and not using the meeting as a ruse for criminal activity.
Initial Meeting in a Public Place:
Why: To gauge the client’s intentions and establish a rapport in a safe, neutral environment before moving to a more private or secluded location.
Appointment Confirmation Through Office or Brokerage:
Why: To create a record of the meeting and ensure that colleagues are aware of the agent’s whereabouts, providing an extra layer of security.
Emergency Contact Information:
Why: To have a point of contact in case of an emergency, ensuring that someone is alerted if the agent doesn’t check in as planned.
Please do not get angry at real estate professionals who ask for ID or other information before meeting with you. I personally always try to accommodate my clients and make it as easy of a process as possible, but I also want to get home safely every day. That means vetting a new client and taking precautions. Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I welcome any questions or feedback you have. I am here to help.

NAR has released fact sheets for both Homebuyers and Sellers.
