One-third of REALTORS® report feeling unsafe during an open house or showing. (NAR, 2021)

The safety of our members is a top priority for NC REALTORS®. Our members routinely find themselves in situations where they are alone with clients they have very little background information on. The very nature of showing real estate to prospective buyers and tenants who are virtual strangers can make agents, both men and women, susceptible to becoming victims of violent crimes. NC REALTORS® aims to provide members with practical and updated safety information through articles, webinars, seminars and training materials.

Please check out the NC Real Estate Agent Safety Guide and refer to the REALTOR® safety resources provided by the National Association of REALTORS®.
