September, designated as
REALTOR® Safety Month, is a time to recommit to your personal safety and the safety of your colleagues and clients.
Real estate is a relatively safe profession, says Breanne Gingerich, marketing manager for NAR’s REALTOR® Safety Program, in this week’s
“Pivot in Place” video. But there are risks—and having protocols for client meetings, showings, and open houses can mean the difference between life and death. A third of NAR members say they’ve felt unsafe on the job at some point in their careers, according to NAR’s latest
Member Safety Report. In two harrowing incidents just this month, an agent confronted an
armed man hiding in a vacant home and another averted an
attempted abduction. Find out
where pros perceive the biggest threats and the actions they’re taking to protect themselves.
Of course, the coronavirus has added a new facet to safety this year. Consult
