There's a fine line between being prepared and being paranoid

 

How to defend your open house

 

Criminal's worst fear is getting caught

 

Don't lead the client, direct them in front of you

 

Every exterior door and window needs to be unlocked for egress

 

Fine vs. gross motor skills

 

Turn lights on

 

Let neighbors know you're doing a showing

 

Drive the neighborhood and take note of fences, escape routes

 

DON'T park in driveways

 

We tend to override instinct...don't ignore it

 

Book: "The Gift of Fear"

 

People don't want to be rude when instincts tell us to beware

 

The more good guys with guns we have, the safer we'll be

 

If you're going to carry, TRAIN with it!

 

You can also use a spray of sorts, "PHREEZE PLUS P"

 

Your goal is not to defeat them....it's to GET AWAY
