From Riots to Real Estate: A Realtor Safety Training

Former cop turned South Dakota real estate broker Josh Ries breaks down practical, real world safety strategies every real estate professional should be using in this Work It Wednesday training. Drawing heavily from Gavin de Becker’s book The Gift of Fear, Josh shows agents how to treat fear and intuition as a built in early warning system, not something to ignore. You will learn how to spot classic predator patterns like force teaming, excessive charm and niceness, oversharing details, typecasting, loan sharking, and clients who refuse to accept the word no. Josh also shares simple but powerful safety habits for showings and open houses, including code words with family, sharing your calendar, checking vacant homes before you enter, planning escape routes in every property, and not letting proof of funds or pre-approval letters override your gut.

If you work with buyers and sellers, host open houses, or meet internet leads alone at vacant properties, this is a must watch real estate agent safety training. You will walk away with a new filter for spotting red flags early, language you can use to set boundaries with clients, and a clearer understanding of when to walk away before a situation escalates. This session is designed for Realtors, brokers, team leaders, and new agents who want practical Realtor safety tips they can use today to stay safe while still building a thriving business.
