The leaves are changing colors, the temperature is dropping, you can order pumpkin spice everything, oh and it’s safety month! September is safety month, and we want to make sure you can equip yourself with the tools, knowledge, and experience needed to protect yourself incase you are in a dangerous situation.
As a REALTOR®, you are exposed to potentially dangerous situations quite often. Whether you are meeting a client for the first time or walking to your car after an open house, danger can be lurking around the corner. Throughout September, Mainstreet is hosting safety and self-defense classes at all of our offices. Below you can find a list of the safety and self-defense classes that will be offered.

FOREWARN Safety App
Additionally, if you have not claimed your complimentary FOREWARN account, what are you waiting for!? FOREWARN is the “one stop shop” for background checks on new clients. The setup is quick and easy, and the application itself is even easier to use! Simply put in their phone number or name and you will have access to criminal records, bankruptcies, liens, judgments, address history, and property records, all bundled in one convenient location.
Since the launch of this member benefit in May, thousands of Mainstreet REALTORS® have registered their account and have seen the benefits. “Thank you Mainstreet! I just signed up and used my FOREWARN app for the first time last night and boy am I glad I did! I almost showed an empty home to a violent sexual predator,” one member told us.
Don’t meet another client again until your FOREWARN account has been claimed. You can start the registration process here.
