Watson Realty Corp. partners with Bond to provide AI-powered personal security to its 800 agents, setting a new standard for employer duty of care in the real estate industry.

Watson Realty Corp., one of the Southeast’s leading residential real estate brokerages, has announced an agreement with Bond (Nasdaq: OBAI), the world’s only AI-powered Preventative Personal Security company, to provide its personal security platform to approximately 800 real estate agents across Florida and Georgia. This deployment marks a significant step in addressing the unique safety challenges faced by real estate professionals, who often work alone, meet strangers, and enter vacant properties.
The agreement, announced ahead of REALTOR® Safety Month in September, underscores Watson’s commitment to treating personal security as a year-round business priority. William Watson III, President of Watson Realty Corp., emphasized the importance of providing agents with professional security resources: “Real estate agents spend much of their working lives away from an office, often meeting people for the first time and entering properties alone. We believe they should have professional security resources available to them wherever their work takes them.”
Bond’s platform combines proprietary AI technology with 24/7 live Personal Security Agents, offering services such as safety monitoring, security check-ins, threat deterrence, and coordination with first responders. This preventative model addresses a critical gap in traditional security, which often only reacts after an emergency occurs. Doron Kempel, Founder and CEO of Bond, highlighted the transformative potential: “AI is allowing us to democratize a level of preventative protection that historically was available only to executives and other highly protected individuals and make it available across an entire workforce.”
The deployment reflects a broader trend in employer duty of care, extending protection beyond the physical workplace. As more employees work remotely or in the field, companies are recognizing the need to provide security that follows their people. Bond’s platform makes this feasible at scale, offering a practical solution for organizations with mobile workforces. For Watson, this means agents can access immediate support during open houses, client meetings, or when traveling between appointments, enhancing their safety and peace of mind.
This initiative also highlights the growing importance of personal security as an employee benefit. With millions of Americans working outside conventional offices, the ability to offer professional-grade security is becoming a competitive advantage. Bond’s AI-driven approach not only improves safety but also respects individual privacy, giving members control over when and how security services are activated.
Watson Realty Corp. is a leading brokerage serving communities throughout Northeast and Central Florida and Southeast Georgia, known for its focus on service and professionalism. Bond, listed on Nasdaq, is pioneering the preventative personal security category, making protection that was once reserved for the elite accessible to entire workforces. This partnership sets a new benchmark for how companies can approach employee safety in the modern workplace.
