U.S. LawShield® and Mace® Brand are providing free safety kits for real estate agents in honor of REALTOR® Safety Month.

As part of Realtor Safety Month, U.S. LawShield®, the leading self-defense defense and legal support system, has teamed up with Mace® Brand to provide agents with the tools and resources they need for their personal safety and to educate them on the potential risks they may face on the job. With the purchase of a U.S. LawShield membership at select locations through the end of September, everyone will receive a free Realtor Safety Kit, valued at $59.99*.

'With September being Realtor Safety Month, U.S. LawShield and Mace® Brand believe there is no better time than now to keep agents safe,'' said Brooksie Smith, CEO of U.S. LawShield. -'''Realtors find themselves in potentially dangerous situations every day, and knowing how to stay alert should be their daily priority. Walking into vacant homes can be dangerous. That's why we've partnered with Mace® Brand to give agents the protection, advice, education and tools they need. Now they can put the fear behind them and focus on selling their next home. "

The Mace® Brand Realtor Safety Kit for Realtors includes a pocket pepper sprinkler, a personal key alarm and a powerful protection mill. The kit contains a pepper sprinkler with the maximum legal pepper strength equipped with an ultraviolet marker, a hands-free personal alarm system and a powerful stan that offer an effective strategy for non-lethal''self-defense.

Knowing who and what to look out for when showing properties, conducting home viewings and meeting new clients is a good start. Here are five tips for showing real estate:

• Attention to potential red flags that can help determine if there is an intruder in the home.
• Carefully monitor the condition of the property: a missing "For Sale" sign in the yard or overgrown grass can indicate poor maintenance. Are there broken windows, locks or doors? Is the home vacant or occupied? If vacant, how long has it been on the market?
• Before conducting a home viewing, take steps to ensure your safety. Familiarize yourself with''neighbors and let them know how long you plan to attend and what kind of vehicle you have. Familiarize yourself with the layout of the house, including paths to exits. Always stay close to an exit and don't go into rooms without windows, such as basements or attics. Never conduct a home viewing alone.
• Notify your family and coworkers of your location and schedule in advance.
• Check out potential new clients thoroughly. Create a list of preliminary questions to help identify them and learn how they found you. Check references before closing the deal.

Take a self-defense course. Whether you carry a gun or not, take a self-defense course to learn how to respond to''U.S.

LawShield to provide agents with self-defense tools and strategies to keep them safe. "

"We are excited to partner with Mace® Brand during Realtor Safety Month," said Smith. "When agents have a U.S. LawShield membership and the Mace® Brand Realtor Safety Kit, they will always have peace of mind 24/7/365. Their safety is our top priority.".
