A vacant ranch in Warren. An open house in Novi. A first meeting in Dearborn with a buyer you found online. Set a SafePulse timer before you walk in. If you don't check in, the people you chose get your last known location, even if your phone is off, dead or taken.
Most agents already have a safety habit: text someone the address before a showing, then text again when you're out. It works right up until the day the second text is the one that never gets sent. Then nobody notices for hours, because the whole system depends on someone else remembering to worry.
SafePulse makes that habit automatic. Start it on the way in, check in on the way out. If you don't, the alarm raises itself.
I'm Frank Nowicki, a software developer in Roseville. SafePulse is my app. There's no sales team and no call center, so if you're an agent in Macomb, Oakland or Wayne County and something doesn't work the way your day works, email me and you'll hear back from the person who wrote it.
Already screening clients before you meet them? Good. That covers who you're meeting. A check-in timer covers the part screening can't: what happens after you walk in.
Three steps, and only the first one happens while you're busy.
Before you walk in, pick a window from 30 minutes to 48 hours. A typical showing is 30 or 45 minutes.
One tap and the timer clears. Nothing is sent and nobody is bothered.
Your contacts get a text and an email with your last known location. They don't need the app. The countdown also runs on a server, so this happens even if your phone is off.
Everything below is free, and none of it comes with a sales pitch.

Please read: SafePulse is not an emergency service and does not contact police, fire, or emergency medical services. It notifies contacts you choose, and depends on cellular and internet service to deliver those alerts. It is not a substitute for calling 911 or for your brokerage's own safety procedures.
