Whether you’re a seasoned NWMLS broker or a non-member exploring the benefits of joining, one thing is clear—safety matters. Real estate professionals often find themselves in unpredictable environments, meeting new clients in unfamiliar locations. That’s why NWMLS has made broker safety a top priority, offering tools and training that go beyond the basics.
🔐 Exclusive Safety Tools for NWMLS Members
NWMLS brokers have access to a suite of safety features designed to keep them secure while showing properties:
- NWMLS Safety and Alerts Webpage
Stay informed about potential security issues in your area. This member-only resource provides real-time alerts on scams, suspicious activity, and safety tips to help you stay vigilant. - Showing Beacon in the ShowingTime App
This feature allows brokers to set a safety timer before a showing. If the timer expires without being manually ended, a designated contact is alerted—adding a layer of protection when you’re out in the field. - SupraKey Safety Alert
SupraKey includes a discreet alert function that lets brokers notify emergency contacts if they feel unsafe during a showing. It’s a simple but powerful tool that can make a big difference.
🎓 Safety in Real Estate Workshop (Members Only)
To help brokers make the most of these tools, NWMLS offers a Safety in Real Estate Workshop. This session walks through the Safety and Alerts webpage, the Showing Beacon, and SupraKey features in detail—giving brokers practical strategies to stay safe and secure. 🔗 Register for the Safety in Real Estate Workshop
