This week, Justin builds on last episode’s cybersecurity basics with five essential tools every real estate agent should be using to protect their business and their clients in 2025. It's not enough to “know” cybersecurity — now it's time to act. Think of this episode as your cyber lockbox.
In This Episode:


Password Manager
Ditch the sticky notes. Secure your accounts with tools like Bitwarden, LastPass, or 1Password. One master password protects hundreds of logins across devices — safely and conveniently.


Two-Factor / Multi-Factor Authentication
Add an extra layer of security on everything from Gmail to your MLS. Use built-in 2FA tools or apps like Authy, Microsoft Authenticator, or Google Authenticator — just be prepared for a learning curve.


VPN (Virtual Private Network)
Whether you’re at a coffee shop, airport, or showing a house, a VPN like NordVPN, ExpressVPN, or Surfshark encrypts your data and keeps hackers out of your business — literally.


Business-Based Cloud Storage
Tools like Google Workspace, Dropbox Business, and OneDrive for Business give you professional-grade file storage and access control. Store contracts, ID scans, and sensitive data the right way.


Encrypted Messaging
Stop sending wiring instructions over regular email. Use tools like Signal, WhatsApp, or Telegram for secure communication — or even platforms like Slack when collaborating with your team.


Mindset Reminder:
Tools are only as strong as the person using them. Slow down, breathe, and think critically — most hacks happen when agents are rushed or acting emotionally.
