"As we know, pursuing a career in real estate can be exciting, fun, and inspiring. However, being a real estate agent has its risks. Sadly, the safety of real estate professionals is being violently threatened by physical attackers on a much more dangerous level lately. According to a recent report by Agent Genius and Realtor safety expert Andrew Wooten, the past year has been the most violent for the estate industry, with a noticeable increase in assaults, murders, and suicides of real estate professionals. The study was conducted in order to try to find some insight to help agents better protect themselves. However, no tangible conclusions were drawn as to the types of Realtors targeted, which means anyone is at risk. Still, a few common threads were discovered in the study:
Most attacks took place on Thursday or Friday afternoons.
Roughly 30% of attack victims are men.
Most attacks didn’t take place inside major metropolitan areas.
About half of attacks involved guns.
Several attacks resulted in murder even though robbery was the original intention.

Even though the findings of this study aren’t exactly fun to read about, they serve as a great reminder to us all. We encourage you to evaluate your security and safety practices and precautions to ensure that your safety is in check." Homes.com

This 3 hour seminar focuses on our reaction to danger, and how we can maximize our decision process. Establishing baselines, recognizing intuitive messages of danger, deselection and avoidance, pre-need planning and decision making. Developing a comprehensive plan of action, including a focus on strategies, tactics, techniques, and their differences. Please feel free to visit our Proactive Mindset page for the general public to get a "feel" for this unique 3 hour clinic.
We will cover the concepts of fear management, visualization, and modeling to improve our response when faced with a threat. We will discuss understanding the “law of self defense” and honing in on pre-assault cues.
Each class will have "MINDSET" and “hands on” drills that will make you think like a predator, a victim and even the law! This class is very unique and might not be what you might think a self defense class would offer since there is NO physical contact involved.
The primary focus is on the practitioner’s response to danger.
We can set this class up as a "per person" or a "flat rate" class
