Local Stager Feared Assault
Today at the weekly Realtors Marketing Association in San Ramon, Cathy Lee, well-known stager and owner of CLDesigns told me she feared for her life the other night when two very intimidating men walked in on her while she was staging a $2 million new construction home in Lafayette, CA.
The power had yet to be hooked up and the light was fading when the first man entered. The man was acting and talking strange. When the second man entered Cathy reached for her phone only to discover she had set it down across the room. As she moved toward her phone, one of the men blocked her path.
It was at that moment, that Kurt Waag, Cathy’s husband showed up and saved the day. After the men left and Cathy settled down a bit, she and Kurt checked the house and discovered that all of the doors had been unlocked by the two men leading them to think that maybe burglary was also in the works.
Cathy told me she is going to sign up for Pam Ellis’ women’s self-defense class – Staying Alive.
We continue to bring situations like this to the attention of local real estate agents and affiliates to help raise awareness of the need to “think safety” all the time when showing property or sitting open houses.

Pam Ellis Kicks Some Real Estate Butt
I heard Pam Ellis of Diversified Capital mention several months ago that she taught women self-defense and I thought I would write her up on this blog eventually. Well, Daniel Duran finally got me off my butt to do just that.
Pam spoke for about ten minutes today at the Realtors Marketing Association's weekly meeting in San Ramon. The RMA is composed of Realtors, real estate agents and other professionals asociated with the real estate industry in San Ramon, Danville, and Alamo.
Pam came to talk about the necessity of being aware of self-defense, your surroundings and the fact that there are some strange people on planet Earth that don't value the well-being of others. Pam teaches an eight week course on self-defense for women and is creating one for men also. As she talked, she asked Nate Womack to step up to assist.
It was a priceless moment , one of those - "Who me?" moments. The look on Nate's face brought some good laughs into the room. After smacking Nate around a bit (just kidding), Pam demonstrated a few simple techniques to demonstrate that you don't have to have her years of training to protect yourself.
