Would You Meet a Stranger Alone? Safety Rules Every Woman Landlord Needs to Know

When you’re a woman working in real estate or property management or a DIY landlord, how do you know when a situation is simply uncomfortable and when it could actually be dangerous? On this episode of Bamboo – Vancouver’s Property Management & Investment Podcast, we have an important conversation With Jolene Foreman of Custom Realty about safety for women working in real estate and property management, especially when meeting strangers, showing properties, and working alone. We talk about the red flags that can appear before you ever meet a prospective client or tenant, what information you should and shouldn’t share, and the precautions professionals can take when attending a showing alone. What happens when your gut tells you something isn't right? When should you walk away? And how do you handle someone who becomes inappropriate, aggressive, or overly familiar? We also tackle a bigger issue: Does the pressure to always be “nice”, accommodating, and helpful sometimes cause women to ignore their own safety? This isn't about being paranoid. It's about being professionally cautious, trusting your instincts, and having a plan before you need one. And we finish with perhaps the most important question of the episode: "If you could give every woman entering real estate or property management five safety rules to follow from day one, what would they be?" Whether you're a landlord, agent, property manager, or someone who regularly meets strangers at properties, this is an episode worth listening to and sharing.
