NAR’s 2016 Member Safety Report

Knowledge. Awareness. Empowerment.

These are the core components of REALTOR® Safety. And helping our members understand the risks they facecan mean the difference between life and death. To help remind us to know the dangers we face every day, to be aware ofour surroundings, to empower ourselves with precautions and preparations so that we can avoid risky situations, and as part of NAR's ongoing efforts to keep our members safe, we dedicate September as REALTOR® Safety Month.

While this month helps remind us of the importance of REALTOR® Safety, NAR has also developed materials for use throughout year, including:

  • New webinars on REALTOR® Safety, presented by industry experts.
  • Weekly social media messaging for Associations to easily share withmembers.
  • Expansion of safety materials and resources for Associations, brokeragesand members.

Customize Your Safety Strategy

Many of the resources provided here are meant for AEs and brokerage offices. However, you can develop your own safety strategy if you work in a different office setting. The full safety presentation can be broken out into three separate sessions, and you can add the banner ads, widgets andother content to your home page. Let other members know about the freewebinars, videos, forms and more.

This report contains the results of a survey of REALTORS® which asked about: 

  • How safe or unsafe they feel 
  • The root causes of any unsafe feelings 
  • Steps or procedures they follow to ensure safety 
  • What methods of self-defense they use

The goal of the report is to measure and understand the scope of the problem, so that real estate professionals can develop the resources, programs, and technologies they need to keep themselves safe.
