Every day, agents interact with strangers in isolated situations that put themselves at risk. Showing real estate leaves agents vulnerable to being attacked. Every year statistics prove this to be true. Agents are faced with unspeakable crimes resulting in fatalities. We do not want to believe that crime can happen to us but most people are unprepared for an attack. What would you do if you were confronted by a predator? Please wear comfortable clothing, this will be an interactive class.
