We are excited to announce that Andy “Andrea” Tolbert will be our special guest speaker at the Tampa REIA Meeting on Thursday, July 14th at 6PM at the Doubletree Suites Tampa Bay located at 3050 North Rocky Point Dr West in Tampa, FL. Andy will be doing a 100-minute presentation on “Real Estate Safety” for Real Estate Investors and Realtors. In fact, if you are a licensed real estate agent, this presentation is worth 2 CE credits.

With recent attacks in Florida and throughout the country, Real Estate Safety has become a hot topic. Even before such senseless attacks, Andy was just like you… not thinking about if it was safe to go to empty houses alone or meet complete strangers in a vacant home, until a few close calls made her change her thinking.

Andy has been an investor, trainer, and real estate broker for almost 20 years, and has been a director of the Orlando REIA group for almost just as long. She’s also an NRA and USCCA firearms instructor and has been certified in self-defense and crime prevention techniques by various law enforcement training agencies. Now she travels around Florida teaching safety techniques to all parts of the real estate industry, including Realtors, investors, lenders, title companies and more.

During Andy’s 100-minute “Real Estate Safety” presentation, you will learn:

• The #1 secret to not becoming a victim
• Key questions to ask over the phone to weed out the fakers
• How to prescreen potential buyers & sellers
• How to successfully and safely hold an open house
• What to do when you’re showing or viewing houses
• How and where to park
• Simple self-defense tools and techniques and how to use them
• 2 Hours of Specialty CE Credit for Florida real estate licensees!
• And much, much more!

Whether you’re buying, selling, or renting… you come in contact with lots of people, and unfortunately not all of them have your best interests in mind. Come to our meeting on the July 14th and learn some simple, inexpensive, and easy to implement changes you can make right away to keep yourself and those you love safe. By the way, don’t be confused, this is NOT a Vegas style comedy show, although you’ll be laughing all night!

Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn how to defend and protect yourself when your out in the real world buying and selling houses and enjoying life! All this is happening at the Tampa REIA main meeting on Thursday, July 14th at 6PM at the Doubletree Suites Tampa Bay located at 3050 North Rocky Point Dr West in Tampa, FL.
