FINDING YOUR VOICE IN SELF-DEFENSE: THIS IS FIGHTING BACK Artwork

Safe Realty

Join your host Shannon Cutler, a former police officer with 18 years of investigative experience, now a real estate agent, as she educates realtors on how to handle their own security in vulnerable situations.

Welcome to Safe Realty! It’s a place where we take the opposing side of true crime - we call it true crime prevention.

Soon after starting real estate two agents in the office disclosed they were being followed by the same man at their open houses. They didn’t know how to handle the situation. Another local agent had to call the police after encountering an irate tenant during a showing. Most recently, an agent in Ontario was murdered during the showing of a rural property. These are just a few stories, of the many, that come up on a regular basis. All of that preempted the start of talking about all things realtor® safety.

Since 2018 Shannon has trained hundreds of Realtors® in real estate safety. Now it is your turn to join her.

We will jump in head first in this weekly podcast, sharing alarming stories from around the globe, tips for best safe business practices, and expert advice with special guests.

True-crime prevention at its best.

Be safe everyone.

FINDING YOUR VOICE IN SELF-DEFENSE: THIS IS FIGHTING BACK

March 26, 2025 • Season 1 • Episode 10

In this episode, I discuss the importance of self-defense, what we now call self-protection and that it can mean something different to everyone.

I emphasize the need to listen to your intuition, your spidey senses, and to fight back when necessary.

We all didn't grow up knowing how to win a street fight, but guess what?! You don't need that to protect yourself.

I will share some personal experiences that made me realize it was okay to stick up for myself.

You will learn how to create a scene and make noise to deter potential attackers.

The conversation aims to empower listeners to take their safety seriously and equip them with practical tools for self-protection.

Let's prevent true crime.

Take care when listening to this episode as we do discuss violence and assault.
