Imagine hosting an open house on a rural property where cellular service is unreliable, driving between showings in remote areas, or meeting a new client in an unfamiliar neighborhood. These are everyday realities for realtors, and in each scenario, the lack of reliable communication creates unnecessary risk. That’s where carrying a backup satellite communicator makes a difference. With a Bivy device, realtors gain two-way satellite messaging when the cellular network fails, a dedicated SOS button linked to 24/7 monitoring, and the ability to share their location or send check-ins to family members.
Staying safe and maintaining reliable communication are necessities in today’s work environment, and for realtors, the risks of working alone are real. While cell phones are powerful tools, they can fall short in high-risk or remote situations. Limited battery life, dead zones, and the absence of a dedicated panic button make phones an incomplete solution for anyone working in remote areas.
According to NAR’s 2023 Member Safety Residential Report, 22% of members experienced a situation that made them fear for their safety, and 5% reported being a victim of a crime while working. Realtors most often reported feeling unsafe while hosting open houses or meeting new clients in secluded locations, and more than 85% of members show properties alone. Nearly half have shown homes in areas with poor or no cell coverage, leaving them unable to call for help should an unsafe situation arise.
Realtors already balance unpredictable schedules and constant client interactions; their safety shouldn’t be another uncertainty. With Bivy, staying connected beyond coverage is simple, and help is always within reach.
Explore how Bivy keeps realtors safe and connected beyond cell coverage.
