The newest partners include:
These additions highlight a growing trend among associations making direct investments in tools designed to protect their members in the field—particularly during higher-risk activities like open houses and property showings.
“Associations are investing in member safety in a more meaningful way than ever,” said Scott Martin, Co-Founder and CEO of Tether RE. “The conversations we’re having aren’t just about features — they’re about balancing REALTOR® safety with consumer privacy rights, Fair Housing compliance, and layered protection that covers agents where they’re most vulnerable: open houses and showings. That balance matters, and it’s exactly what Tether RE was built to deliver.”
Tether RE provides a layered safety approach that combines identity verification, 24/7 live monitoring, and real-time emergency response with tools agents already use in their daily workflow. This integrated approach helps drive consistent adoption while addressing both safety and operational needs.
The company’s continued growth is being driven by partnerships with REALTOR® associations, MLS organizations, and brokerages that are prioritizing proactive safety measures while remaining mindful of evolving regulatory and compliance considerations.
