Good evening Claude, that is a great check list to cover and you are correct that we can't keep our eyes on everyone especially if they split up. Thanks for commenting.
Hi Trisha, it is probably best that we don't know some peoples plans and intentions. It is best to stay on the side of safe.
Good evening Ron and Alexander, antibiotics are a hot commodity and no matter if animal or human, they will be taken. Thanks for sharing.
Good evening Roy, we have to be so careful with open houses for so many reasons. Thank you for commenting.
Good evening Tom, thank you for your very kind words and I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
Good evening Bobbie, thank you for your comments and enjoy your evening.
Good evening Bruce, some will take anything and everything and make a cocktail of all combined. Crazy stuff. Thanks for commenting.
At the listing appointments as I go through the listing agreement, I always go through the list of items that should be put away: small electronics, prescription drugs and jewelry. I've never thought about weapons, but I will mention it now. Good idea. I also stress to my sellers that agents must accompany their buyers, and should have a business card or proper ID when they show a property. My clients safety is paramount. I always tell them that I've never had a problem, but I have heard of items being stolen at other agents listings and I don't want them to be the first.

Hi Kristi, it is amazing the things we think about as we go thru a home. There are so many things that need to be locked up or removed for safe keeping. Thank you for commenting.
I have started taking a camera to all open houses... get a good shot of everyone who enters. I will add your question to my list.
Judith, not only medicine, the sellers MUST be instructed to 'hide' all the valuables, laptops, expensive electronic gadgets etc etc. Open House is not the time to display wealth.....
Wow, that never occurred to me. How awful that they are probably going to all the open houses and doing this.
Really great post! It's a sad one, as well, but makes us all think! I will be sure to refresh my list of questions that I normally ask on listing appointments - thank you for pointing this out!
Hi Judith....there was an agent in our area many years ago (he is no longer in the business!!) and he had a drug habit...would PREVIEW every property that came on the market....the seller would leave so the agent could preview comfortably!! they would notice a dresser drawer not completely shut.... it was finally determined after he was dismissed from every office that he was searching for drugs not underwear!!
What a great reminder! and something that probably many sellers don't think to do!
Judith, I caught wind of this post from Roger (need I say more). But what a great story I never thought of this before, I'll have to share it with my local agents! Have a great weekend!
Hi Berni, Roger is so good to all of us here in the Rain. Thank you for stopping by to comment. I so appreciate it. Definitely share with your agents. Have a great week-end!!
