Pepper spray could save a real estate agents life. Between the years 1982 and 2000 more than two hundred real estate professionals were killed on the job. There are hundreds of other agents that have been robbed, attacked, raped or injured while showing houses and just trying to do their jobs. Many agents that have been attacked were not even aware of the risks of their career and had never considered needing to protect themselves. It is a reality that this is a dangerous world and real estate agents need to take precautions against such attacks by arming themselves with personal safety products.
Pepper spray is a convenient, affordable and easy to use option for any real estate professional. This is a non lethal method of protecting yourself that is effective against any attacker. Pepper spray or Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) will bring an attacker to their knees causing temporary blindness, coughing, wheezing, choking and instant nausea. It is more effective than tear gas because it does not lose its potency over time. Pepper spray is also a wise choice because it causes the eyes to involuntarily slam shut, whether the attacker feels pain or not. Often a person under the influence of drugs or alcohol will be almost immune to pain.
Drug users have been known to continue advancing even after severe injury or being shot. Pepper spray will cause temporary blindness and stop an attacker in their tracks. This will give the potential victim time to get away and call for help. Some OC sprays also contain dye which will allow for easy identification of the attacker long even if they manage to flee the area without being apprehended.
There are canisters that are as small as a ring or tube of lipstick but make sure to carry enough spray to stop even the largest perpetrator. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes to make it easy to find the right personal protection product for you. Some have cases that can attach to your key ring or purse strap, others have belt loop attachments or can easily fit in your handbag or pocket.
It is wise after buying your life saving product to practice using it. Pretend you are being attacked and learn to draw, aim and fire the spray so that you are comfortable using it before you need to. Make sure that it is readily available. You do not want to have to search through your handbag because it is lost amongst all of your other things. Having a personal protection device or pepper spray won’t do you any good at all if you cannot find it or don’t know how to use it. If you are about to be attacked you are going to be in a panic and scared. You will need to make sure that it is an automatic reaction to pull the spray, point it in the right direction and spray it.
You don’t want to be in that situation and be fumbling to find the canister, not be able to correctly push the button releasing the spray or to spray yourself rather than the attacker. Being ready is half the battle.
Pepper spray is an essential and intelligent way to protect yourself as a real estate agent while showing properties and hosting open houses. Your career does have its risks but you can always feel safe and comfortable by planning ahead for your personal safety.
