Your safety should always be a priority when hosting showings or open houses.
Safety Recommendations:
Schedule showings during daylight hours whenever possible
Let someone know when a showing is scheduled
Keep your phone nearby
Secure valuables and personal information
Trust your instincts if something feels unusual
Consider having another adult present during open houses
Be Cautious Of:
Buyers who refuse to provide basic information
Requests to enter the property without an appointment
Unusual payment or transaction requests
Individuals who seem more interested in the home's contents than the property itself
If something doesn't feel right, end the interaction and prioritize your safety.
