Every agent, seasoned and experienced or brand new, should be taking a safety course and there should be refresher courses taken also. You have got to be aware of what is going on while you are conducting your business of real estate. Too many times realtors get relaxed in their day to day business life. Life is good and the guard is down. But you have got to stay aware at all times. Here is a video on just what you can expect in a Realtor Safety Course. This one is ‘hands on’ as a safety course should be. There should be the class room information given but the ‘hands on’ is what is important. You must be able to go through an actual session of what could happen and how you need to respond.
If you take a course on safety, God Bless You. If you have never taken a course on safety, then now should be the time to think about doing so. It just might save your life. Remember, Your personal Safety Is Up To YOU!!!

*Nearly 40% recounted knowledge of other Realtors who have experienced safety related ‘uncomfortable circumstances’ while working
*The National Association of Realtors (NAR) has placed Realtor Safety among its top areas of concern. To the criminal minded, you are the perfect target for the easy ’set up’. Read the rest of this entry »
R.A.D.’s Instructional Objective: “To develop and enhance the options of self defense, so they may become viable considerations to the woman who is attacked.” A Self Defense course is a definite must for every women and man who is in real estate. Most of the time, your clients are wonderful people but as we all know, real estate has its scary individuals who prey on the lone realtor. Be aware - Your Personal Safety is up to YOU!

A R.A.D. Self-Defense Class starts tonight in Elkhart, Indiana. I will be attending this 4-week class, 3 hours per night and soaking up everything I can. After each class, I will blog about what I learn that night. RAD has such a great reputation for being a class designed around self-defense awareness techniques that are highly effective and simple enough for women of all ages to learn. In fact, these awareness techniques could just save your life!
