September is REALTOR® Safety Month

September is REALTOR® Safety Month, and there's no better time to reassess your safety protocols and make safety a top-of-mind priority.

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 2022 REALTOR® Safety Survey highlights alarming statistics of the potential dangers REALTORS® face while on the job:

• 45,000 REALTORS® were victims of a crime while performing their duties.
• 300,000 REALTORS® felt fear for their safety while on the job.
• 400,000 REALTORS® don’t have safety protocols in place to protect themselves.

Don’t wait until the worst happens. Remember, the real value in real estate is YOU.

How Buyer Agreements Boost Your Value, Fend Off Claims

It’s an opportunity to explain to your clients what your role is in the transaction and how they’ll benefit from your services.

• For more guidance on conversations about compensation, NAR has a website—competition.realtor—to help agents articulate their value.
