Misiu Systems Demonstrates the RealGuardÔ Personal Security Alarm System for Real Estate Professionals at Real Estate Connect 2003  

The RealGuardÔ Personal Security Alarm System Provides Added Security for Real Estate Professionals and Addresses the Growing Issue of Safety in the Real Estate Industry.

Bothell, Washington— July 22nd, 2003 — Real Estate Professionals do more than show and sellhomes.  They also face personal safety issues and, sometimes, real danger because of the nature of their profession.  The statistics tell the story:  227 real estate agents were killed on the job between 1990 and 2001; and over a four-year period (1993-1997) annual averages of 126 agents were victims of non-fatal violent crimes while on the job.  Armed with a solution that addresses the growing problem of safety in the real estate industry, Misiu Systems LLC will demonstrate the RealGuardÔ Personal Security Alarm System (patent pending) at Real Estate Connect 2003 on July 23rd - 25th, at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, California, at Exhibit Booth #11.

“The RealGuardÔ Personal Security Alarm System is designed to be a deterrent to a would-be attacker and makes the real estate professional feel less vulnerable and more confident when showing a house or working at the office after-hours,” said Todd Hodgen, Founder and CEO of Misiu Systems LLC, which developed the mobile alarm system. 

The RealGuardÔ Personal Security Alarm System which retails for $320 is comprised of three unique components: the Personal Transmitter which is worn or carried by the real estate agent; the Home Receiver which is placed in a listed home or one open for a house showing; and the Auto Transceiver which is installed in an agent’s car (in actuality; their virtual office).  When agents perceive trouble they press the button on their Personal Transmitter which simultaneously communicates to the Home Receiver and the Auto Transceiver and both begin emitting loud piercing sounds.  The noise can scare away any potential or threatening individual and alerts those nearby as well.

“Our goal is to increase real estate agents’ safety and overall awareness by providing personal security like no other.  RealGuardÔ can be their constant companions in the workplace making agents feel safer and more confident in their surroundings,” Hodgen stated.

Agents will have the ability to activate the Home Receiver in any home they visit that has one ¾ even if the Home Receiver is placed there by another agent ¾ because of the ability of the mobile alarm system to network and communicate via its proprietary technology.

            “The system’s interoperability allows agents to work together  ¾ creating a network of alarms within their community,” Hodgen said.  “An agent with a Personal Transmitter and Auto Transceiver can show a house equipped with RealGuardÔ and know that these devices will communicate with one another if the need arises.” 

The RealGuardÔ Personal Security Alarm System is exclusively sold to the real estate industry through Multiple Listing Service Boards and Real Estate Associations and will be available 4th Quarter 2003.  Misiu Systems LLC offers an incentive program called the Partnership Plan that encourages the boards and associations to commit to a particular number of units to obtain various discount levels.  The RealGuardÔ units can then be offered to their members and the orders can be filled by Misiu Systems LLC directly at the negotiated discount level for that particular association or board.
