"She managed to fight him off and he fled," said Sgt. Alanna Dunlop with Surrey RCMP. "We conducted an investigation and searched the area very thoroughly but could not locate this male."

The investigation is active and is in the early stages. Investigators would like to hear from anyone that has any information about this sexual assault, and are seeking the assistance of the public to help identify the male suspect.

Anyone with any information about the sexual assault is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

In October, 2007 another female real estate agent was showing a property in Surrey to two men she thought were prospective buyers but instead, was tied up and robbed before she was able to free herself and run to a nearby home for help.

A guide on its website recommends planning escape routes and jotting down licence plate numbers.

Surrey Realtor Sharon Tucker told CBC News she has been selling homes for 30 years and while she's never had a bad open house experience, she always plays it safe.

"I really believe that you should have someone with you all the time," Tucker told CBC
News.

"The buddy system is something that I've always done over the years. So I tell someone, a specific someone, where I'm going to be for what time and when I'll be finished. That person either contacts me or I contact them at the end of the open house to make sure that I am safe at the end of the open house."
