Raleigh, NC, September 04, 2009 --(PR.com)-- John Wood, president of the Raleigh Regional Association of REALTORS® (RRAR) (www.rrar.com), has announced that RRAR will host a 2009 Safety Seminar on Thursday, Sept. 3 at 8:30 a.m. at RRAR, located at 111 Realtors Way in Cary. The seminar will be instructed by Leigh Woody, senior trainer of Citizens Against Crime, who will guide the REALTORS® through the necessary steps to protect themselves at home and at work. In a recent National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) safety survey, 67 percent of respondents have experienced safety concerns, incidents, or other harassing situations while working as a REALTOR®. The event is free to all REALTORS® members. To register for the event, e-mail Sonya Yankoglu at SonyaY@rrar.com with your name(s), phone number and company. For more information, visit www.rrar.com.

“Due to the frequent contact with unfamiliar people in private locations, real estate agents face more on the job risks than many other business professionals,” said Ray Larcher, executive vice president of RRAR. “We are hoping it will be an extremely informative event for all of our members.”
