REALTOR® Safety Month Resources

September is REALTOR® Safety Month

September is REALTOR® Safety Month, and Washington REALTORS® is teaming up with the National Association of REALTORS® to ensure our members are properly educated and utilizing the safety resources available to you through your membership.  

The goal of NAR's REALTOR® Safety Program is to reduce the number of safety incidents that occur in the industry, so every REALTOR® comes home safely to his or her family every night. We will accomplish this goal together with our members by improving the Safety Culture in the industry: Talk about safety; create a safety plan and follow it; and encourage your fellow REALTORS® to do the same.

The reality in real estate is that there are some real threats when working in the field, and it's crucial to be prepared! The 2023 Member Safety Report highlights alarming statistics of the potential dangers REALTORS® face while on the job. 

Here's how NAR's REALTOR® Safety Program can make a significant difference in your safety:

  •  Resources, tools and tips: proven techniques from field professionals to stay aware and prepared, ensuring your safety at all times.
  • Boost confidence: empower yourself with information and tools to handle challenging situations in the field effectively.
  • Free live webinars, training videos, articles, and strategy tips designed to help prepare you for anything.

REALTOR® Safety Network

The National Association of REALTORS® is committed to the safety of our members. Through the REALTOR® Safety Network, NAR will deploy REALTOR® Safety Alerts via social media when a physical or cyberthreat to REALTORS® warrants national attention. For example:

  • A REALTOR® or the immediate family member of a REALTOR® goes missing
  • NAR learns that the association name or the names of its programs are being used fraudulently to attempt to collect money or information from REALTORS® or others
  • A physical threat to REALTORS® warrants national attention
  • For incidents that don’t meet the criteria for a national alert, the REALTOR® Safety Team will ensure the local association is informed.
