Tether RE is a safety and verification platform designed to address the physical and situational risks faced by real estate agents in the field. Built specifically for real estate workflows, the platform combines client identity verification, real-time monitoring, and emergency response tools into a single, integrated system.
The platform’s client-verification engine confirms identity using address verification and non-financial background checks, giving agents visibility before meeting a new client in person. Once an agent is on site, Tether RE activates layered safety features including live monitoring, struggle and impact detection, proximity-based safety timers, and SOS alerts with real-time geolocation. These protections operate automatically, reducing reliance on manual check-ins during high-risk interactions.
To drive adoption, Tether RE embeds safety into daily agent workflows by integrating navigation, mileage tracking, expense logging, and property data into the same application. Since launching in early 2024, Tether RE has been adopted by multiple REALTOR® associations and brokerages and secured partnerships that expand its distribution across MLSs and brokerage networks. As agent safety continues to gain industry focus, Tether RE represents a purpose-built technology addressing a historically underserved area of real estate operations.
