Tracey Hawkins
A culture of safety starts at the top. As real estate leaders, you need to demonstrate and model safety best practices for agents. You can do so by establishing regular safety training and an office safety plan, and by supporting and enforcing safety policies and procedures.
As a safety expert, I’ll show you why you need a safety plan, how to protect your brokerage with one—and more importantly, how to keep your team safe. Read full article.
If you don't currently have a safety plan in place, or if it needs an update, you won't want to miss Tracey's upcoming class on April 28th: Broker, Manager, and Owner Real Estate Office Safety Workshop: Certification & Handbook. Learn more about it.

Can Becoming a Local Safety Expert Grow Your Real Estate Business? Yes, it Can!
Tracey Hawkins
Whether we are talking about other agents competing for listings, converting FSBOs, or finding and keeping loyal buyers—your biggest challenge in growing your business is to stand out from all the other agents in your market who are using the same lead generation strategies and tapping the same overburdened sources.
For 26 years, I have been educating and training agents with a focus on safety. I advise you to lead with safety to show clients that you genuinely care about them, their families, and their homes. Let me show you how.
1. Learn About Clients’ Safety & Security Concerns
2. Get Expert Safety Training
3. Protect Your Seller, Their Home & Valuables
4. Share Safety Resources With Buyers of Distressed Properties
5. Teach Buyers How to Choose a Safe & Secure Neighborhood
6. Be the Safety Hero to FSBOs
7. Educate Consumers & Your Community About Safety & Security
Ready to learn more? Check out Tracey's upcoming class on April 28th: Increase Your Profit and Build Your Client Base with Real Estate Safe Practices. Learn more about it.
