Realty Executives International Partners With Mobile Callback
by Realty Times Staff

Realty Executives International announced today a partnership with Mobile Callback® - a Realty Times company. This partnership was developed with agent safety in mind, which will allow Realty Executives agents to utilize Mobile Callback® at open houses, home showings and in other cases where safety is a concern.

Designed for Realtors, The Mobile Callback system calls real estate professionals on their mobile phones at predetermined time intervals to monitor their location and well being. If all is well, the user confirms their location and well-being with a security code and waits for the next callback. If, however, a user does not answer three times in a row or inputs an incorrect security code three times in a row, the system notifies the first of up to three emergency contacts that assistance is needed.

“Agent safety has been ignored for too many years. I have personally lost a good number of friends to violence against agents, while they were conducting normal business,” said Bill Powers, chief operating officer of Realty Executives International. “We really need to encourage everyone to practice "safe selling" to ensure that agents feel safe and secure while doing their job. Selling real estate should be as safe as any other profession.”

“Together, we can educate real estate professionals about the importance of agent safety and provide the Realty Executives team with an affordable, easy-to-use safety solution,” said Kate Kemp, director of marketing and sales for Mobile Callback®.

Realty Executives recognizes the need for a personal security system for agents. The company is a leader in providing practical, easy-to-use technology to its associates.

“When I first heard of Mobile Callback, and learned the benefits, I knew this was something that would greatly benefit our agents,” says Dan Miller, director of technology services for Realty Executives International.
