REALTOR® Safety Alert

 February 2, 2016      webadmin

A RASCW member reported an uncomfortable encounter near the end of her open house on January 24 in Fitchburg. A gentleman arrived at the open house 5 minutes prior to closing and asked numerous questions such as “Do you know what happens to agents in vacant homes?” and “Do you know what could happen to you in a vacant house?”

Fortunately this person ultimately left without incident after wandering through the home and making it clear he was not interested in purchasing a home. He is described as a large, elderly Caucasian male.

Please review your safety practices to make certain you can appropriately respond in any situation. For additional information, a police report has been filed with the Fitchburg Police Department with Officer Heimerl (608-270-4300). Please refer to case #16-1312.
