Tether RE Safety Brief is a series where we break down real crimes in the real estate space to teach agents how to be better prepared. By analyzing the "what went wrong" in actual events, we provide the practical strategies and tools you need to ensure every showing ends safely.
In this episode, we examine the violent assault of a Kentucky realtor during a house showing — a case that ended with the perpetrator being sentenced for the attack. These incidents are a sobering reminder that showing homes can quickly turn dangerous.
That’s why Tether RE exists. Our platform gives agents the tools they need to stay one step ahead:
🔹 Pre-screening Tools: Verifying client identities before you ever step foot on the property.
🔹 SOS Alerts: A one-tap lifeline that instantly connects you to emergency services and your team.
🔹 Struggle Detection: Smart technology that recognizes physical distress even if you can’t reach your phone.
Safety shouldn't stop when the showing starts.
