40% of real estate professionals stated they experienced a situation that made them fear for their personal safety.
The safety of our members is a top priority. 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 both men and women susceptible to becoming victims of violent crimes. During these times, it is also important to consider your safety from a health perspective. CRCBR aims to provide members with practical information to keep safety top of your mind.
