An open house can be a great sales tool, but it also exposes you to numerous unfamiliarcell phone people for the first time. Stay safe by practicing safe practices.  

  • Notify a friend or a relative that you will be calling in every hour on the hour. And if you don't call, they are to notify the police immediately.  
  • Check your cell phone's strength and signal prior to the open house. Have emergency numbers programmed on speed dial. Carry an extra, fully charged cell phone battery
