Because You Should Know ...
"Local REALTOR Attacked and Robbed on the Job" - That was the headline of a report on a
Sacramento news broadcast on June 4, 2007. We do not want this to be a headline here!
September 9-15 marks the fifth annual REALTOR Safety Week. The article below gives some
helpful advice on how to keep yourself and your clients safe during open houses. It is worth it to
take just a minute at each open house to make sure you are safe!
For more information on the important topic of REALTOR Safety, visit NAR's safety site at
www.REALTOR.org/Safety.
Safety at Open Houses
An open house can be a great sales tool, but it also exposes you to numerous unfamiliar people at
once. Take these steps to stay safe:
Mary Thompson of HBR, Lynnore Fetyko of GSAR, BJ Adigun
of Children's Hospital, Bill Bradt of MBA
BJ Adigun presented a plaque to the three associations for

If possible, always try to have at least one other person working with you at the open house.
their incredible donation of over $100,000 to Golisano's
Children's Hospital. Lynnore was elated to receive this award
Call the local police department and ask them to have a squad care drive by during your
one year early, thanks to the generosity of the Home Builders,
open-house hours.
Mortgage Bankers, and Realtors!
3. Check your cell phone's strength and signal prior to the open house. Have emergency
numbers programmed on speed dial.
4. Upon entering a house for the first time, check all rooms and determine several "escape" routes. Make sure all deadbolt locks are unlocked to facilitate a
faster escape.
5. Make sure that if you were to escape by the back door, you could escape from the backyard. Frequently, high fences surround yards that contain
swimming pools or hot tubs.
6. Place one of your business cards, with the date and time written on the back, in a kitchen cabinet. Note on it if you were the first to arrive or if clients
were waiting.
7. Have all open house visitors sign in. Ask for full name, address, phone number and e-mail.
8. When showing a house, always walk behind the prospect. Direct them; don't lead them. Say, for example, "The kitchen is on your left," and gesture
for them to go ahead of you.
9. Avoid attics, basements, and getting trapped in small rooms.
10. Notify someone in your office, your answering service, 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 call you.
11. Inform a neighbor that you will be showing the house and ask if he or she would keep an eye and ear open for anything out of the ordinary.
12. Don't assume that everyone has left the premises at the end of an open house. Check all of the rooms and the backyard prior to locking the doors. Be
prepared to defend yourself, if necessary.
(Sources: Washington Real Estate Safety Council; City of Mesa, Arizona; Pinehurst North Carolina Police Department, Nevada County Board of REALTORS ; Georgia Real Estate Commission)
Protect Your Clients against Crime
Real estate professionals are not the only ones at risk when showing a property-follow these steps to help your clients protect themselves against crime:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Remind clients who are selling their house that strangers will be walking through their home. Tell them to hide any valuables in a safe, secure place.
This includes prescription drugs.
At an open house, be alert to the pattern of visitors' arrivals, especially near the end of showing hours. In some areas, a group of thieves will show up
together near the end of the open house and, while a string of supposed potential buyers distracts the REALTOR®, the rest of the group walks
through the house, stealing any valuables they come across.
Finally, when you leave a client's property, whether after an open house or a standard showing, make sure that all doors and windows are locked.
Thieves commonly use open houses to scout for valuables and possible points of entry, then return after the agent leaves.
Let your clients know that you will take all of the above safety precautions, but that when they return home, they should immediately verify that all
doors are locked and all valuables accounted for.

Ready to Make a Call to SUPRA Support?
1-877-699-6787
SUPRA is available from 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Pacific time seven days a
week, including Saturday and Sunday. We are closed only four days during
the year-New Year's Day, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas Day. Look below for some helpful hints about choosing a good
time to call.
your KeyBoxes on KIMweb, you have complete information about your
entire KeyBox inventory, including shackle codes, CBS codes and hours of
access
1. You have plenty of time to devote to resolving the issue, and
2. You are in the same location as the equipment you are calling about
If you have eKEY Basic or eKEY Professional service on your PDA or
smartphone, you need not go to KIMweb to register your KeyBoxes.
When you open the shackles on your KeyBoxes, your eKEY records
information about the box, and the next time you eSYNC your key, your
KeyBoxes are automatically registered on KIMweb for you. To view your
KeyBox inventory on your eKEY device, tap the eKEY icon, then scroll
down to menu item 6. Manage KeyBoxes. Tap on the KeyBox serial
number to view the settings for that KeyBox.
Here are some examples that do not qualify as best times to call.
Emergency Update Codes
• Your DisplayKEY doesn't eSYNC, but you are nowhere near a cradle.
• You need help reinstalling the eKEY applications to your PDA or
smartphone, but you only have five minutes until your next appointment.
If, for any reason, you find yourself already on the street or away from your
home or the office and your key is not updated, you can get an Emergency
Update Code to get you by for the day until you can eSYNC your key on
its cradle. Nearly every Board/Association/MLS has a set limit, often one,
for the number of Emergency Update Codes you can use between the
times you eSYNC your key. Once you have exceeded that limit, Supra
Support cannot provide another update code. We will instead instruct you
on how to eSYNC your key.
But what about the best time to call? Day of the week and time of day
matter far less than your own preparedness for the call. The very best time
to call for support is when:
We are here to serve you. Please call us as soon as possible with your issues,
and make sure you have enough time to work with our experts to put you
back in business.
Important information about codes
PIN codes, shackle codes, and CBS codes
Ever forget the 4-digit PIN code for your Supra eKEY or DisplayKEY?
Ever misplace a shackle code for a KeyBox or scratch your head looking for
a call before showing (CBS) code programmed in a KeyBox? If you called
Supra Support for any of those codes, you were likely surprised, and
possibly frustrated, that we cannot provide you with this information.
Why can't we help you? The answer is: SECURITY. These codes are
essential elements contributing to the security of your Supra KeyBox
System.
If you forget your PIN code, contact your Board/Association/MLS. Just be
prepared to prove your identity. While you are at it, make an appointment
to swing by the office and have your organization change your PIN code to
something you can remember. Never write your PIN code on anything you
carry with your key. If your key were to fall into the wrong hands, you do
not want to have to explain why your secret PIN code is riding around in
your key pouch along with the instructions for opening KeyBoxes.
Remember that all Emergency Update Codes expire at midnight and
cannot be used the following day. No information is exchanged with the
Supra network when you use an Emergency Update Code, meaning none
of your showing activity is recorded, nor will you receive showing alerts on
your key about showings on your own listings. The information will be
recorded the next time you eSYNC.
There are three ways to get an Emergency Update Code. It's best not to
call Supra Support and wait to talk to one of our reps. If you are away from
home or out of the office, you can call KIMvoice directly at 1-888-9684032 and follow the instructions. You can also call the support number at
1-877-699-6787 and press 1, which will kick you directly over to the
KIMvoice system to get your update. If you are near any computer with
Internet access, you can also get an Emergency Update Code by logging on
to www.supraekey.com. Click Log in to KIM and use your key serial
number and PIN code to log on. Click on Update Code and follow the
instructions.
If you have eKEY service on your PDA or smartphone, you can change
your own PIN code by logging on to KIMweb and clicking on the Change
PIN code link.
If you forget a shackle code, or need to know the CBS code for one of your
KeyBoxes, you will also need to contact your Board/Association/MLS
unless you have registered your keyboxes on KIMweb. When you register

Safe Marketing Is Smart Marketing
New to GSAR:
Keep your safety in mind when you're preparing or updating
the marketing materials and information you make public:
Instructor: Laurie Omans
Instanet Forms Training class!
FREE
September classes:
1. All of your marketing materials should be polished and
professional. Don't use alluring or provocative photography in
advertising, on the Web or on your business cards. There are
many documented cases of criminals actually circling photographs of their would-be victims in newspaper advertisements.
These victims were targeted because of their appearance in
their photographs.
2. Concentrate on your professional proficiency rather than
personal information in newspapers, resumes and business
cards.
3. Limit the amount of personal information you share. Don't
use your full name with middle name or initial. Use your
office address rather than your home address-or list no address
at all.
4. Make phone numbers hard to trace. Rather than use your
personal cell phone or home phone number-which can be
typed into some Web sites to find your home address-consider
using a toll-free number. This can't be traced and prospects
may appreciate the free call. You can have calls to this number
automatically forwarded to any phone. Alternatively, you can
block your own phone number from showing up on caller ID.
Ask your telephone company if they can permanently add
caller ID block to your line. (Note that they may charge a fee
for this service.) Or you can dial "*67" before you dial the
number. If you have caller ID blocked permanently, dial *82
to unblock for a given call.
