Agents expose themselves to danger more than they may realize. Female agents are at an increased risk, but certainly any agent alone at a listing needs to be careful! How do agents get out of scary situations and - just as importantly - avoid getting into those situations in the first place?
This week's guest on "This Jess'd In" answers those questions and more! Danna Hinz is a real estate agent and a retired Sheriff's Deputy. Both her and her husband worked in law enforcement for years, and today - in addition to helping people buy and sell homes - she teaches courses on safety.
