To remind REALTORS to be aware of the dangers they face throughout the course of their work day, the National Association of REALTORS (NAR) has dedicated September as REALTOR Safety Month. The association has created an expanded toolkit to empower practitioners to avoid risky situations. NYSAR also included an article on brokerage safety tips in the July/August issue of New York State REALTOR magazine. 

NYSAR will be offering "Self-Defense for the Real Estate Professional" during the Fall Business Meetings on Tuesday, October 6, from 7:30-8:30 a.m. Certified Martial Arts Instructor and sixth-degree black belt Jeff Sgarlata will teach attendees to defend themselves using simple to master and easy to remember techniques. The class is free to all NYSAR members who register by September 30. Visit NYSAR.com for more details.
