An alert sent out to Northeast Ohio realtors earlier in the week is a reminder of how dangerous the job can be and why safety is so important.

Published: May. 17, 2024 at 5:18 PM EDTAKRON, Ohio - “He kind of dive-tackled me on the stairs, so he had me trapped from my feet all the way up, but I was holding myself up in the air,” said Karen Halman. “I was trying to push him off, and I just couldn’t.”

“So I’m wiggling, wiggling, wiggling, trying to get everything off I could, and once I do, I’m able to slip free, and he’s after me, trying to grab my toes,” said Halman. The Akron Cleveland Association of Realtors sent it out after an incident last weekend at an open house.Because of how isolated showing a property can be, it is also a reminder to have a plan for the safety of the realtor.
