Regional Brokerage Enhances Agent Safety with MySentry
A thriving regional real estate brokerage with over 80 agents faced a critical challenge. Within a single year, two separate safety incidents occurred during open houses, leaving agents feeling vulnerable and hesitant to conduct showings alone, particularly in remote or unfamiliar rural areas.
This fear not only impacted agent morale but also began to hinder business operations.
MeetSafe Check-ins
Agents were required to perform a check-in before every property showing, creating a virtual safety net and a clear record of their appointments.
Silent Panic Alarm
A discreet panic alarm could be triggered via voice command, a tap on their smartphone, or their smartwatch, ensuring they could signal for help without escalating a potentially dangerous situation.
Live Video Streaming
In an emergency, the system could stream live video to the monitoring center, providing crucial context for a rapid and effective response.
Quick Answer
The brokerage implemented MySentry as a mandatory safety protocol for all its agents, which yielded transformative results, creating a safer environment and delivering a strong return on investment.
