Summer is heating up, and real estate agents need to stay cool while doing what they do best. Here are some tips for staying cool while out and about this summer:
Carry a water bottle with you always and consider packing a cooler with extra water for your clients.
Arriving early will give you time to crank up the A/C so everyone can stay comfortable viewing the home.
Opt for breathable, lightweight fabrics such as cotton or linen. Remember, light colors also reflect heat to help you stay cool.
Keep your car temperature manageable while waiting for clients or finishing up some paperwork. If you must park, find a shade tree and crack a window.
Small, battery-operated fans can be a lifesaver during hot summer days. Keep one in the car in case a listing’s A/C malfunctions.
Be sure your sellers have an Old Republic home warranty with A/C coverage so you can keep the home cool!
Stay comfortable and focused despite soaring temperatures—and above all, stay safe!
