Hey everybody! I’m Bren Brewer, your favorite tech trainer, and today I want to introduce you to a tool that every real estate agent should have in their arsenal—Forewarn.

If you're an HAR/ABOR/AJMLS subscriber, you already have access to this powerful tool completely free. And trust me, once you start using it, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.

What is Forewarn?

Forewarn is a mobile and desktop application that allows you to verify the identity of your prospects before meeting them in person. It provides instant access to crucial information like:

Criminal history
Property ownership
Financial insights
Phone number verification

Think of it as your digital background checker, designed specifically with agent safety and due diligence in mind.

Why It Matters

Let’s face it—meeting new clients in unfamiliar locations can sometimes feel risky. In today’s world, safety must be a top priority for real estate professionals. Forewarn empowers you to make informed decisions before you step out the door. Whether you're hosting an open house, showing a property, or meeting a new client, this app gives you the confidence and clarity to move forward safely.

How to Get Started (AJMLS Subscribers)

If you're a member of AJMLS, here’s how to set up your free Forewarn account:

Log into your AJMLS Dashboard
Use the search bar to find Forewarn
Click the link—it will take you to aconnect.com
Scroll down and click the blue button that says "Click here to get started with Forewarn"
Sign up using the email associated with your HAR account and create your password
Accept the terms and conditions, and you're in!

Once you're registered, download the app to your phone or access it from your desktop via app.forewarn.com. I personally prefer using the desktop version for quick and easy searches.

Real-Time Example

To show you how powerful this tool is, I ran a quick test on myself and my husband. The search results pulled up:

Our current addresses
Address histories
Phone number records
And even a traffic ticket from 2001 (yep, he didn’t wear his seatbelt 😆)

It’s a great reminder that even minor infractions show up, allowing you to make fully-informed decisions about your appointments.

Final Thoughts

Forewarn is one of the easiest, fastest, and most powerful tools you can use to work smarter and stay safer in the field. If you haven’t already, get it set up today and make it part of your regular real estate workflow.
