The problem your members face every day

Buyers ask the safety question
on nearly every transaction.

Under the Fair Housing Act, agents cannot characterize a neighborhood's safety — race, national origin, and demographic composition cannot factor into any answer. So agents say nothing, or they hedge, or they point buyers to inconsistent third-party sites. SafeScore closes that gap with federal data — no demographics, no opinion, no liability.

01

The agent says nothing

Legally cautious, but leaves the buyer unsatisfied and shopping for information elsewhere. Reduces agent value in the transaction.

78% of homebuyers rank neighborhood safety as their top priority — Redfin/Ipsos, August 2025
02

The agent characterizes the neighborhood

Opinion-based answers create Fair Housing exposure. One misstatement — intentional or not — opens the agent and brokerage to a complaint.

Fair Housing complaints have increased 34% over the past decade — HUD Annual Report 2024
03

The agent uses SafeScore

Pulls up the address. Hands the client a federal data report. The data speaks — not the agent. Defensible, sourced, and compliant in under 60 seconds.

Data, not opinion. Every category traceable to a named federal agency.

How institutional licensing works

The FOREWARN model.
Applied to property safety.

FOREWARN reached hundreds of thousands of agents nationally by selling to MLSs and brokerages — not individual agents. SafeScore uses the same institutional bundling model. One license. Every member gets access as a bundled benefit. Zero acquisition friction.

Step 01

MLS signs institutional license

One agreement. $1 per active agent per month, billed to the MLS. No per-report tracking. No agent billing. No friction.

Step 02

Agents receive access as a member benefit

SafeScore access is announced to your membership alongside other MLS tools. No agent signup required — access is enabled by MLS domain or credential.

Step 03

Agents run reports on any address

Any property address. Under 60 seconds. Full Intel Report across 11 federal categories. Branded PDF delivered instantly — ready for buyer packets and listing presentations.

Step 04

Your MLS retains members

A member benefit that answers the #1 buyer question reduces agent churn and increases the perceived value of MLS membership. Measurable, differentiated, defensible.

What agents get on every address

11 categories.
All federal data.

Every data point in the report traces directly to a named federal agency. No third-party aggregators. No crowdsourced reports. No algorithmic black box. Every category is independently scored and sourced.

Built for compliance

Fair Housing compliant
by design.

SafeScore does not use, store, or report any demographic data — no race, ethnicity, national origin, income, or any protected class indicator. The score reflects physical and environmental conditions at the address, not the people who live there. Designed in consultation with Fair Housing compliance principles from day one.

What IS in the data
FBI crime incident counts
FEMA flood zone classifications
EPA air and water quality readings
NHTSA crash and fatality records
USGS seismic and geologic hazard data
What is NOT in the data
Race or ethnicity
National origin or religion
Household income or wealth indicators
Neighborhood "desirability" characterization
Any protected class indicator

No demographic data. Ever.

SafeScore reports what happened at an address — not who lives there. Every category is a physical, environmental, or incident-based measurement. Zero inference about the residents of a neighborhood.

Zero-friction member access

Agents access SafeScore via the web portal with no signup friction. MLS credentialing can be used to enable access automatically for all active members.

SafeScore answered the question I get on every single transaction. My clients used to Google it and get three different answers. Now I pull up SafeScore and the data is right there — sourced, scored, defensible.

How SafeScore fits alongside existing tools

Different tool. Same
institutional model.

FOREWARN screens buyers. SafeScore scores properties. These are complementary tools — not competing ones. Every MLS that uses FOREWARN still has the property safety gap SafeScore fills.
