September is REALTOR Safety Month
Louisiana REALTORS® • September 10, 2024
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 2023 REALTOR® Safety Survey highlights alarming statistics of the potential dangers REALTORS® face while on the job:
- 56,000 REALTORS® were victims of a crime while performing their duties.
- 322,000 REALTORS® felt fear for their safety while on the job.
- 406,000 REALTORS® don’t have safety protocols in place to protect themselves.
Here's how NAR's REALTOR® Safety Program can make a significant difference in your safety:
- Resources, tools and tips: proven techniques from field professionals to stay aware and prepared, helping ensure your safety at all times.
- Boost confidence: empower yourself with information and tools to handle challenging situations in the field effectively.
- Free Live Webinars: join our REALTOR® Safety Month webinar on Sept. 18th, 12:00 pm CT, and learn how to identify potential threats, leverage technology for safety, and effectively handle emergencies.
Safety is a healthy habit that could save your life. So, don’t wait until the worst happens, and be prepared with measures to cut down the chances of becoming a target.
Remember, the real value in real estate is YOU!
