September is REALTOR® Safety Month.
Did you know? Forty percent of REALTORS® stated they experienced a situation that made them fear for their personal safety, according to an NAR study in 2015. The safety of our members is a top priority for NC REALTORS®.
Our members routinely find
themselves in situations where they are alone with clients they have very little background information on. The very nature of showing real estate to prospective buyers and tenants who are virtual strangers can make agents, both men and women, susceptible to becoming victims of violent crimes. NC REALTORS® aims to provide members with practical and updated safety information through articles, webinars and training materials.
