REALTOR® Safety Month is under way, and with the COVID-19 pandemic impacting members in unprecedented ways, this observance raises numerous unique issues for the real estate industry. At the Greater San Diego Association of REALTORS®, our team is here to assist you in keeping your business thriving during the health crisis, but also to make a year-round commitment to help you keep safety top-of-mind, avoid risk, and be watchful on the job.

Whether you’re showing a property, meeting a new client, or communicating online, it’s important to ensure you have an existing personal safety protocol.

NAR offers members an array of safety resources, including tips and articles, safety training videos, courses and presentation materials, and safety-focused webinars.
