Voting is now open for the Michigan Realtors® Board of Directors, and SEBAR is proud to have one of our own members, Jordan Bobbitt of Synergy/Gerweck Realty Group, running for the District 5 Director position.

Only members who reside in District 5 (Monroe, Lenawee, Hillsdale and Jackson Counties) are eligible to vote for this position.

🏡 September is REALTOR® Safety Month! 🛡️

Your safety matters. Every showing. Every client. Every time.
As REALTORS®, we spend our days meeting people we may have never met before, entering unfamiliar properties, hosting open houses, and sometimes working alone.

🔹 TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS
If something doesn’t feel right, don’t ignore that feeling.

🔹 SHARE YOUR LOCATION
Let a coworker, friend, or family member know where you’re going and when you expect to be done.

🔹 MEET SAFELY
When possible, meet new clients in a public location before heading to a property.

🔹 STAY ALERT
Put down the phone, stay aware of your surroundings, and know where your exits are.

🔹 USE YOUR SAFETY TOOLS
Take advantage of REALTOR® safety apps, technology, and resources available to you. FORWARN, SentriLock, including Emergency Features on your phone, and Open House Safety use the Buddy System.

🔹 HAVE A PLAN
Know what you will do if a situation becomes uncomfortable or unsafe.

💙 REMEMBER:
Being safety-conscious isn’t being paranoid, it’s being prepared and professional.
Make REALTOR® Safety a priority in September…and every month of the year!

🛡️ September is REALTOR® Safety Month!

At SEBAR, we know how important it is for REALTORS® to feel informed and prepared before meeting a new client or heading to a showing. That’s why SEBAR provides FOREWARN FREE of charge to our REALTOR® members!

It can provide information such as address history, property ownership, criminal history and other public-record data—giving you valuable information before a face-to-face meeting.

🔎 Know before you go.
