The attack that left real estate agent Gary Peters in the hospital for weeks is now leading some local real estate agents to focus on efforts to increase personal safety.
70-year-old Peters was assaulted and robbed on Feb. 5 while conducting an open house in Fresno.
Dave Johnson, a real estate agent and owner of a brokerage firm in north Fresno, has started conducting a self-defense course geared specifically toward real estate agents.
Johnson says safety has been a concern of his for years – and something he regrets not doing sooner. That’s because Johnson, who earned his real estate license in 1973, has been a martial arts expert since 1959.
He has always believed that real estate agents, especially women, should learn how to defend themselves because many potential buyers are oftentimes perfect strangers.
