Century 21 Canada is encouraging all real estate professionals to use Agent SOS Link to improve the level of safety for all in the industry. The new safety application software runs on most smart phones as an alerting system in case of emergency. It also allows real estate professionals to notify coworkers about properties that may be unfit to view (due to vandalism or other property damage), and capture images of wrongdoings in their communities.

“Century 21 Canada agents are local experts and are in a great position to spot suspicious activity,” says Century 21 Canada’s president Don Lawby. “SOS Link is another tool that will help real estate professionals stay connected and safe while helping consumers buy and sell their homes.”

It is available for iPhone (3G, 3GS, or 4G), Blackberry, Android and soon other smart phones.

To activate, an agent  presses the “start” button and the smart phone will begin taking photos while simultaneously emailing them to pre-registered helpers, along with  information such as time, date and a current GPS location displayed on a map.
