Realtor Safety

Planning Your Safety Strategy

Follow Best Practices

NAR has compiled tips and best practices from subject matter experts, law enforcement, and industry veterans to help keep REALTOR® safe. View the resources on the REALTOR® Safety Tips from NAR webpage.

Examples include:

Meet in Neutral, Public Locations
Always schedule initial meetings at your office or a public place like a coffee shop.
Share Your Schedule
Let a colleague, assistant, or family member know where you're going and who you're meeting.
Communicate Safety Concerns
Include notes on your listing about things like poor cell service or remote areas.
Protect Your Privacy
Avoid oversharing personal information with new or unfamiliar clients.
Never Host Open Houses Alone
Bring a colleague or have a buddy system in place.
Check Your Phone
Ensure your phone is fully charged and you have good signal before appointments.
Stay in Control During Tours
Allow clients to walk ahead of you—don’t lead them through the property.
Avoid Risky Spaces
Never enter attics, crawl spaces, or garages alone—these are confined areas where you could be trapped.

Take the REALTOR® Safety Pledge

As a REALTOR®, my first priority is the well-being and safety of myself, my REALTOR® colleagues, the clients and customers we serve, and the business partners who foster our profession.

Therefore, I pledge to always conduct business and prospecting activities in a reasonably safe manner, which includes following the recommendations from the National Association of REALTORS® and adhering to the Safe Listings Form to the best of my ability.

I am committed to receive education and in turn to advise consumers and colleagues on best safety practices.

REALTORS® are committed to safety, and I take this pledge because I care about the wellbeing of myself, my clients and customers, my colleagues, and my profession.
