SafeShowings™ Enterprise, developed by The FaceSnap, is the first real estate safety solution of its kind in a simple-to-use mobile app. Join Helen Hudson, CEO of The FaceSnap for a demonstration of the app and a discussion on how this app can help you control your safety during showings. SafeShowings captures a facial image, in real-time, of someone with whom you are about to enter a property. If you are unable to end a showing, it sends the image of the potential perpetrator as well as your geolocation to your emergency contacts. This strategy is a proactive safety deterrent. Research demonstrates that this approach is the best possible way to deter criminal behavior because the number one way to avoid being a victim is to let the criminal know they will be caught. Many real estate professionals fear for their safety when they enter a property alone with a stranger. FaceSnap’s goal is to create tools that could save lives while keeping people and properties safe. Real estate professionals and their loved ones feel more secure knowing that SafeShowings will automatically notify emergency contacts with identifying details and geolocation in an emergency.
