The National Association of REALTORS® urges you to be mindful of the particular risks inherent in your profession and to take advantage of training resources offered through NAR, your state and local associations, and your brokerage. To raise awareness about this important issue, September 11 - 17, 2005 has been officially designated as the third annual REALTOR® Safety Week.

Among the precautions NAR recommends: Carry a charged cell phone, leave at home cash and expensive jewelry, and tell your broker or office receptionist when and where you went and with whom.
