We are happy to announce that Live Urban is now one of the first Denver Metro area Real Estate brokerages to join Open Door Partners.
Live Urban both welcomes and encourages local Real Estate agents to use our office space as a safe place to meet new clients....no matter what brokerage they work for.
"The safety of Live Urban agents, as well as agents from anywhere in the Denver Metro area, is one of our top priorities," said Stacie Staub, Director of Marketing for Live Urban Real Estate. "We have a centrally located office that is perfect for that initial meeting...if an agent ismeetinga new clientthat they were introduced to by referral or online, it's always a good idea to meet them first in a very public place....NOT at a property. Meet them at Live Urban or other Open Door Partner location first, and if you don't get a good feeling, if they won't let you make a copy of their ID, etc. then DO NOT leave with them. No deal is worth risking your personal safety, and unfortunately, Realtors have been fairly easy targets."
ABOUT OPEN DOOR PARTNERS
Open Door Partners: Working together to prevent crimes against real estate agents.
Profiled inUSA Today,REALTOR Magazine, andThe Chicago Tribune:
Real estate agents are often asked to show a property to an unknown person. If their office isn't nearby, many willskip the safety of the office visit and just run out to show the home.
From brokerages to title, escrow, builders, and lending offices: As an industry, we're using our collective office space to ensure agents can always meet a new client and verify their ID at a nearby, convenient, professional office instead of at a vacant home. We're banding togetherand committing to an Open Door policy.
Safety First Competition Second
Open Door offices welcomereal estate agents from any company to meet new clients in their reception area for a safety check-in. There's no need to provide meeting space or take on additional costsjust allow for a quick meeting at the front desk. The threat of being observed in a public professional environment, and being required to show ID, will deter the vast majority of criminals who would seek to harm our associates at a remote location.
Stay In Touch While Staying Safe
Being an Open Door Partneris an opportunity to stay in contact with agents. The more often real estate agents visit your business for a check-in, the more often you can connect with them for recruiting, sales, or networking.
