Fewer REALTORS are Packing (guns & pepper spray)
Fewer Realtors feared for their safety and personal information this year compared to 2017. Despite the illusion of more safety, the reality is, that slightly more Realtors in total – 6 percent in 2018, compared to 5 percent in 2017 – said they were victims of a crime last year. The increase in total crime victimization was due to a rise in identity theft, from 1 percent last year to 2 percent in 2018, according to, NAR's 2018 Member Safety Report The survey, released annually as part of the association’s Realtor Safety Month every September.
