More associations, MLSs, and brokerages are investing in client verification tools to help protect agents before they meet with a prospective client in person. That’s a positive step for the industry.
At Tether RE, we believe safety tools should protect agents while also helping reduce potential regulatory exposure. That begins with ensuring decisions about whether to meet with a potential client are informed by legitimate safety considerations — not financial data.
As part of our layered approach to agent safety, Tether RE provides identity verification tools and access to carefully filtered, safety-relevant public record information.
We intentionally filter:
✖️ Bankruptcies
✖️ Liens
✖️ Judgments
✖️ Asset verification
✖️ Arrests over 7 years old without conviction
Our focus is limited to identity verification and relevant criminal convictions. And background verification is only one layer.
We pair disciplined data practices with:
✔️ 24/7 live monitoring by real people
✔️ Proactive safety alerts
✔️ SOS activation and response support
✔️ Struggle detection
✔️ Automated timers for property showings
✔️ And additional in-field protection tools
Agent safety and consumer privacy are not competing priorities. The strongest safety solutions are designed to protect both.
