Social Selling Made Simple Tether RE: The Innovative Solution For Real Estate Agent Safety w/Vanessa Martin
Here’s a shocking reality many people aren’t aware of. Being a real estate professional ranks among the top 10 most dangerous jobs in America. 30,000 agents were victims of violent crimes in the past year.
Every day, real estate agents put themselves at risk while performing what should be a routine job—showing properties, meeting clients, and navigating unfamiliar neighborhoods.
The statistics reveal that agents face high incidents of harassment, threats, and even violence simply for doing their jobs. It’s a sobering thought that can make anyone hesitant to step out into the field.
But what if there was a way to enhance your safety and confidence? What if there was a way to take control of your safety?
In this episode, I’m joined by Vanessa Martin, co-founder of Tether RE, an innovative real estate agent safety platform unlike any other. We’ll discuss how Tether RE enhances agent safety, explore its unique features, and highlight the significant impact it can have on the industry.
Crime isn’t going to go away so we need to think about safety. -Vanessa Martin
