On the heels of two recent incidents—one involving an armed man hiding in a vacant home and the other involving the attempted abduction of an agent—it’s important for real estate professionals to understand the types of situations in which they are most vulnerable and how to protect themselves. As September is REALTOR® Safety Month, the National Association of REALTORS® has released its 2020 Member Safety Report, showing that practitioners feel most vulnerable when meeting with unknown clients at vacant properties. “Being aware of potential dangers and empowering themselves with precautions and preparations will help REALTORS® avoid risky situations on the job—and could mean the difference between life and death,” according to NAR’s report.
