MetroTex Introduces Tether RE as New Member Safety Benefit

The MetroTex Association of REALTORS® has launched Tether RE as a sponsored member benefit for all MetroTex members. Tether RE is a safety and productivity platform designed specifically for real estate professionals, providing continuous protection and operational support in the field.

“Tether RE reflects our commitment to give every member peace of mind and real protection where it matters most,” said Johnny Mowad, 2025 MetroTex President. “During showings and during open houses, our goal is simple: help agents serve their clients with confidence and return home safely.”

Tether RE provides a comprehensive set of capabilities, including 24/7 live safety monitoring during showings, open houses, and client meetings; SOS alerts and proximity safety timers
that initiate assistance if a member does not check out on time; impact and struggle detection that recognizes falls or sudden movement and escalates appropriately; and field productivity
tools such as turn by turn navigation, mileage and expense tracking, and showing management features.

What you get with Tether RE
