Being a real estate agent could be more dangerous than creating an online dating profile, with your address, phone number, photo, and times you will be at home, online because people know you have assets, a car, credit cards and cash, and they could just be coming to the open house to rob you.

As a real estate agent, you market yourself, post your pictures for the public to see and talk about your education, and this could attract stalkers, which is extremely dangerous considering 60 percent of agents are female. In the past decade, about 20 real estate agents that we know of have been killed in the United States of America.

Real estate agents put themselves in danger everyday by meeting new clients, letting these strangers know person details about them, allowing strangers in their car, and holding open houses, but these agents have no formal security training, so they are opening themselves up to strangers.

Entering foreclosed, vacant and small homes may attract unexpected house guest such as homeless or looters. It is recommended that if you are meeting a new client, for the very first time to meet them in the office. Also, tell people where you are going and always inspect their exterior of the property first and be ready for anything.

Elk Grove, California is a prestigious city, located in Sacramento County. It is a beautiful suburb, with many employed families, several schools, churches, and parks, and a sense of community. On 8 January 2015, a man handcuffed a female real estate agent, as she was showing him a home, in this premiere community. It seems that the agent made an appointment with the suspect, and during the interaction, the suspect produced a handgun, threatened the real estate agent, then handcuffed her, before letting her go.

According to the police, no crime like this has ever happened in that suburb of Elk Grove before. However, in Little Rock, Arkansas, Beverly Carter was kidnapped while showing a home. Tragically, her body was founded in a shallow grave four days later. A husband and his wife was arrested, accused of kidnapping her for random and then murder.  Other real estate agents have shared their stories about being hit over the head, as blood pooled on the floor, and some have been sexually assaulted.   There are no devils, but those which are begotten upon selfishness and reared by cunning.
