Confidence isn't just something you bring to the negotiating table. It's something you should feel walking into a vacant showing, alone, with a stranger you just met online. This September, for Safety Month, let's make sure you have both.

Within hours of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, efforts were launched by the NAR Executive Leadership team to secure contributions to aid those impacted. More than $8.4 million poured in to provide urgent housing-related assistance for those struggling in the aftermath. Funds were raised and distributed within 100 days to ensure families remained in their homes.""

Since the REALTOR® Relief Fund was created, it has provided assistance to people and communities affected by disasters throughout the United States.

SentriLock is matching every dollar donated, up to a total of $250,000, through October 31.
