You unlock the front door. It’s quiet—too quiet. No neighbors in sight. And your client is still “on the way.” For realtors, these moments happen every day. And each one is a gamble with safety.

Nearly 1 in 3 realtors has felt unsafe during a showing, according to the National Association of Realtors.

That’s not just a statistic—it’s your sign to prioritize protection that fits into your day and your wardrobe.

At ResQ, we believe wearable safety tech isn’t just helpful—it’s confidence you can wear. In this guide, we’re unpacking real risks, comparing top safety tools, and showing you how our discreet jewelry does more than just look good—it keeps you connected, protected, and in control.

Safety Should Be Part of the Outfit

If you’re a woman in real estate, you already know: this job demands more than market savvy and a great smile. It asks you to walk into empty homes, meet strangers solo, and stay poised through situations that don’t always feel right.

Here’s what doesn’t get said enough:

• Predators sometimes pose as buyers to gain access to women working alone.

• Empty, remote homes can create the perfect cover for someone with bad intentions.

• You’re expected to be polite—even when your gut says “no.”

• And most brokerages? They leave safety planning up to you.

You should never have to choose between closing a deal and protecting yourself.

That’s why safety shouldn’t be an afterthought—it should be built into your outfit, your schedule, and your peace of mind.

The Best Wearable Safety Tech for Realtors

When you’re constantly on the go—meeting new clients, hosting open houses, walking into unfamiliar properties—your safety solution needs to be effortless, professional, and discreet. 

Here’s a breakdown of the most common options for wearable safety tech for realtors: 

1. ResQ Jewelry

Discreet self-defense accessories that blend easily with your style. Our GPS safety jewelry includes a wearable panic button that alerts your emergency contacts instantly—no fumbling with your phone required.

• Hands-free, one-touch alert

• Real-time GPS tracking

• Silent or loud alarm options

• Stylish, elegant design

2. Safety Apps

There are tons of great safety apps on the market that offer panic buttons and location sharing—but they require you to have your phone in hand, unlocked, and ready. In high-stress moments, that’s not always possible.

• Useful for check-ins and sharing routes

• Can integrate with emergency services

• Not hands-free or wearable

3. Pepper Spray

Pepper spray isn’t technology but it’s a trusted, old-school self-defense tool that can be really effective—but it also comes with risks and restrictions.

• Requires close-range deployment

• Must be easily accessible and legal in your area

• Can escalate a situation instead of diffusing it

4. Personal Alarms

These are typically loud sirens triggered by pulling a pin or pressing a button. They might draw attention but they don’t usually offer location tracking or emergency contact alerts.

• Great for loud alerts

• Not discreet or stylish

• May not be suitable in every scenario

Realtor-Approved Safety Tips

Your outfit’s polished. Your listings are prepped. Now let’s make sure your safety plan is just as solid.

Share Your Location with a Trusted Contact

Before every showing, let someone know where you are, who you’re meeting, and when you expect to return. 

Avoid Showing Properties Alone When Possible

If you can, bring a colleague or schedule appointments when others are nearby. Safety in numbers isn’t just a saying—it’s a strategy.

Keep Your Phone Charged and Accessible

Make sure your phone is ready and loaded with quick-access tools, so you can connect to help instantly if needed.

Trust Your Instincts

If something feels off, it probably is. You’re allowed to reschedule, leave, or say no. Your safety matters more than any potential sale.

Wear Discreet Safety Technology

Jewelry with built-in alerts (like ResQ’s!) lets you signal for help without escalating the situation. Learn how to stay secure in an uncertain world.
