Safety in New Jersey real estate continuing education
Real estate licensee safety is already a core continuing-education topic area in New Jersey. A new law, P.L. 2026, c.52, goes further: for license terms beginning July 1, 2027, one hour of real estate licensee safety becomes a mandatory part of the 18-hour continuing-education requirement. It does not change the current license term.
Secure Showings has been built with that standard in mind.
The program
Secure Showings is a two-hour, in-person, hands-on safety seminar built for real estate professionals. It connects prevention, decision-making, and practical escape skills to one goal: reaching safety. The goal is to escape, not to remain and fight. No martial-arts experience is needed.

Situations covered
- Private showings and open houses
- Meeting unfamiliar clients
- Unfamiliar properties: entrances, exits, and confined spaces
- Working independently with no backup nearby
- Lockbox distractions, blocked hallways, and pressure to enter a basement or isolated area
What the 2 hours look like
- Welcome and opening activity: goals, ground rules for safe, controlled practice, and a quick reflection on your last uneasy showing.
- Prevention and showing preparation: client screening, property intelligence, check-in plans, and the Ladder of Safety.
- Situational awareness: reading a property, the 60-second arrival scan, positioning near exits.
- Boundaries and verbal skills: setting limits professionally and leaving a showing without confrontation.
- Defensive tools (discussion only): flashlight, personal alarm, and related options.
- Hands-on escape practice: creating space, a wrist-grab release, and moving to the exit, in slow, controlled, cooperative partner practice.
- Wrap-up scenario and take-home card.
What participants practice
- Situational awareness and prevention
- Recognizing problems early
- Creating space and setting boundaries
- Breaking contact and exiting safely
- Defensive tools: flashlight, personal alarm, and related options (discussion)
- Wrist-grip releases and moving toward an exit in controlled, cooperative practice
The Ladder of Safety: recognize danger early, create space, break contact, exit safely, and get help. The objective is not to teach agents how to fight.
