REALTOR® Safety Month: Make Safety a Priority Every Day

September is REALTOR® Safety Month, an important reminder that safety should always be a priority when conducting real estate business.

REALTORS® often meet new clients, work alone, travel to unfamiliar locations, host open houses, and communicate with prospective clients online. Taking a few extra precautions can help reduce risk and create safer habits throughout your career.

Make Safety Part of Your Business

REALTOR® Safety Month is a great opportunity to review your everyday practices and make sure safety remains top of mind. Remember to:

  • Meet new clients in a safe location before showing properties whenever possible.
  • Let someone know your schedule and where you will be throughout the day.
  • Stay aware of your surroundings when arriving at and leaving properties.
  • Use caution when sharing personal information online and on social media.
  • Trust your instincts. If a situation feels uncomfortable or unsafe, remove yourself from it.
  • Have an emergency plan and know who to contact when you need assistance.
