What better scenario for a violent attack than this one?&lt;br /&gt;You can ask all the right questions, try to figure out their true motivations, but at the end of the day, you must take people out in order to make a sale, and the truth is that no matter how many questions you asked, this people are still strangers. &lt;br /&gt;Recent statistics show a staggering rate of violent crimes amongst Realtors showing properties.  Crime typically goes up when an economic crisis hits.&lt;br /&gt;One in four Realtors has personally experienced incidents or harassing situations while working as a Realtor, and forty percent say they know of other Realtors who have been involved in safety incidents or harassing situations while working as a Realtor.&lt;br /&gt;According to the report, most incidents reported by participating Realtors involved "open houses" or showings of vacant property. Open house concerns range from assault, robbery, sexual harassment, and theft of homeowner items such as prescription drugs. Vacant home safety concerns include threats posed by squatters, vandals, rapists and violent criminals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What raises concerns are a number of factors including:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Unexpected individuals who show up at an appointment&lt;br /&gt;    * Harassment while working alone&lt;br /&gt;    * Unfriendly dogs&lt;br /&gt;    * Unsafe property conditions that could cause injury such as icy walkways, stairs&lt;br /&gt;    * Threatening calls from individuals based on the agent's photo on 'for sale' signs or business cards&lt;br /&gt;    * Being asked to come alone to a showing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are many tips and plans that you can follow to decrease the possibility of becoming a victim:&lt;br /&gt;Never go by yourself to a showing if the possibility exists, or notify someone that you will show X property and the time and tell them you will call them as soon as ou are finished with the showing.&lt;br /&gt;Stop by the office and make a copy of the driver's license and even take the tag number &lt;br /&gt;Never host an open house by yourself&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At AWARE, we believe that the best investment is taking the time to learn how to be aware and to spot dangerous situations so you can avoid them, and to defend yourself if the situation should arise. &lt;br /&gt;This takes practice; the same way as when you learn how to drive or any other task that requires you to react in a dangerous situation. You need to prepare for it before it happens and parctice over and over so it becomes habit. You may only have a few seconds to react, but that can make all the difference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We recommend you to see some of our &lt;a href="http://www.awaresd.com/awareseminars.html"&gt;seminars&lt;/a&gt; .It is never too late to learn &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you &lt;br /&gt;AWARE Self-Defense&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.awaresd.com"&gt;www.awaresd.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/988836348609809744-1671674781735799360?l=awareselfdefense.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://awareselfdefense.blogspot.com/feeds/1671674781735799360/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://awareselfdefense.blogspot.com/2009/02/realtors-facts.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/988836348609809744/posts/default/1671674781735799360'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/988836348609809744/posts/default/1671674781735799360'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://awareselfdefense.blogspot.com/2009/02/realtors-facts.html' title='Realtor Safety Facts'/><author><name>Ivan Warman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08169868673158860319</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://www.rightabouthomes.com/rare_logo_color_3.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988836348609809744.post-7145959526443028258</id><published>2009-02-16T00:40:00.010-05:00</published><updated>2009-02-23T13:23:47.454-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='self defense'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='aware'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='seminars'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rape'/><title type='text'>Some self defense tips for todays world</title><content type='html'>Most people are so busy living their life and forget that are other people looking for the right opportunity to find someone that can become an easy target.&lt;br /&gt;One of the most common mistakes I see is at the mall, how do i say that? you can see so many women walking from the mall to their car exited for all the shopping they just did and forgetting that at that same moment can be someone looking for that particular women. So may things can happen in does 3 minutes before you get in to your car. Most abductions, rapes or simple robberies happen during that moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here are 5 tips:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;strong&gt;Don’t Ignore Your Surroundings&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pay attention to your environment. Focus on where you are going. if you are in the phone just the other person if you can call him back in 5 minutes or a soon as you are in your car, look around you to see if there are any potential problems. Worry about strangers hanging around your car; why are they there? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;strong&gt;Have a Plan&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe this is one of the most important things to do. You know that if you are confronted and you have a plan you will increase your chances. You need to be AWARE so you can react. this is were learning with professionals can open your eyes, sometimes things that sound so simple can make a big difference,this techniques can be incorporated in your daily activities and can save your life and your family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;strong&gt;Do Not Give Up&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take the time to learn self-defense. When attacked, don’t ever stop fighting back. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;strong&gt;Do Not Rely on a Lethal Weapon&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unless you know how to use one effectively and are always carrying, have a back up plan. The best weapons you have is you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. &lt;strong&gt;Do Not Wait to Be Attacked Before Responding&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each point has so many variations and every situation require a different reaction, the most important thing is how you train yourself to be AWARE and how to react in a dangerous situation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can see some current event&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.justnews.com/news/18723785/detail.html#video/ "&gt;http://www.justnews.com/news/18723785/detail.html#video/ &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good Luck &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have questions please contact us &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AWARE Self-Defense&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.awaresd.com"&gt;www.awaresd.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/988836348609809744-7145959526443028258?l=awareselfdefense.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://awareselfdefense.blogspot.com/feeds/7145959526443028258/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://awareselfdefense.blogspot.com/2009/02/some-self-defense-tips-for-today-world.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/988836348609809744/posts/default/7145959526443028258'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/988836348609809744/posts/default/7145959526443028258'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://awareselfdefense.blogspot.com/2009/02/some-self-defense-tips-for-today-world.html' title='Some self defense tips for todays world'/><author><name>Ivan Warman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08169868673158860319</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://www.rightabouthomes.com/rare_logo_color_3.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
