Safety Advice for Property Showings

Are you fixing your home for sale in the near future? Prior to deciding to list it with a agent, you may need to take some precautions to make the property safe for both yourself and for any person entering your house. The very last thing you'll need is to pose a risk to anyone who could be a prospective buyer. On top of that, keeping yourself secure also needs to be a concern.

Check out these basic safety tips for agents and homeowners that would save a life:

1. Keep All Valuables in a Safe Area

In order to protect your property at the time of showings is to make sure all of the valuable items are locked away where they can't be seen. This not only consists of cash and expensive jewelry, but also things such as prescription medication, bank docs, or blank check books. Do not forget that people will be looking through all of the compartments, closets, and cabinets, which means you need to make sure that nothing important remains behind.

2. Let Your Neighbours Know What's Happening

Inform a neighbor that you will be showing the house and ask if he or she would watch and ear open for anything uncommon.

3. BE INFORMED

You should always inquire for photo ID upon arrival. Several Real estate agents choose to require some form of photo ID of possible buyers upon entry. We use names, addresses and phone numbers to follow-up with buyers to provide the seller with detailed feed-back. Make certain the information you're recording is correct.

4. Tell Someone

Tell anyone in your workplace, a friend or a relative that you'll be calling in every hour on the hour. And if you don't call, they're to call you.

5. Gut Instinct

Have confidence in gut and pay attention to your intuition. If things seems not right, some thing is wrong.

6. Take Away Any Possible Threats

When you're preparing your house for sale, you want to make sure there is nothing that can hurt someone when they visit for a showing. Remove all clutter on the floor that can be tripped over. If the home is being shown when you are not there, be sure that your pets are either together with you or safely secured away from potential buyers.
