Knowledge. Awareness. Empowerment. These are the core components of REALTOR® Safety. Helping our members understand the risks they face can mean the difference between life and death.

To help remind all of us to know the dangers we face everyday, to be aware of our surroundings, and empower ourselves with precautions and preparations so that we can avoid risky situations, NAR has developed this online REALTOR® Safety Resources Kit.
