Local Realtor association chapters in South Florida are calling attention to safety precautionsfor real estate agents after an incident at an open house earlier this month. According to an email sent to members of the Miami Association of Realtors, a suspicious visitor may have tried to poison or drug an agent hosting an open house Sept. 9 in Jupiter, Florida.

The agent, who did not wish to be identified, was not harmed, and is working with local police to identify a suspect involved. But with more than 20 years of experience under her belt, she said the incident demonstrates why safety should always be top-of-mind at open house events, and how things can happen even when most precautions are followed.
