Don’t
Become a Statistic—Learn How to Protect Yourself!
Attend GTAR’s popular Safety Seminar; 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. with Captain Tracie
Lewis, Tulsa Police Department. As a real estate professional you routinely work
independently, navigate unfamiliar roads and neighborhoods, meet one-on-one with
strangers in enclosed places, and toil alone in the office on late nights or
weekends. Any one of these situations could expose you to potential harm.
Personal safety is something we all need to keep in mind, every single day. The
risks we face are the same for men and women, in urban neighborhoods and remote
rural areas. This course will include a summary of basic safety practices for
real estate professionals; current scams; identity theft, and more.

Reminder:
GTAR/NORES Inclement Weather Policy
The GTAR/NORES Inclement Weather policy is for ALL EDUCATION classes at GTAR
(CE, Computer, New Member Orientation, etc.), and is as follows:
If Tulsa
Public Schools are closed the day of a scheduled class, the GTAR/NORES class is
cancelled! Depending on the type of class being cancelled, the
class will either be rescheduled for a future date or a full refund will be
issued. In addition, for those of you who live outside the Tulsa area, if
schools in your area are closed the day of class or you are uncomfortable making
the drive, you can still receive a refund, but you MUST call or email us that
day (day of the class). You cannot just be a “no show” and expect a refund.
Please be sure to check one of the local news channels the night before and/or
morning of a scheduled class for school closings. Also check tulsarealtors.com;
a broadcast notice will be posted as soon as possible.
