C.A.R.: Latest Market Statistics

May 27, 2024 – Reports recently released offer some promising outlook for the California housing market in the medium term and the long term.

Drive With NAR Podcast: The Safety Series – May 2024

REALTOR® Magazine has partnered with NAR’s REALTOR® Safety Program on a monthly podcast, Drive With NAR: The Safety Series. 

This month’s episode focuses on pros’ advice for raising awareness at your brokerage around the issue of safe work practices. Half of real estate brokerages have no safety policies, according to NAR data. So, who’s reminding you and your colleagues what to do to make sure you’re working safely with clients? Every office could use a safety advocate who encourages agents every day to think about their well-being while on the job. Host Tracey Hawkins talks with two real estate pros about what it looks like to advocate for safe practices in real estate.
