A Arlington open house is a great sales tool when your home is on the market, but it also exposes your property to total strangers. As agents, my colleagues and I are trained to red fall suspicious activities, but during an open house, multiple parties will be coming and going at the same time. Choosing to take proactive steps is good practice for keeping your home safe during your open house in Arlington.
For openers, it's a secure thought to let neighbors experience nigh the circumstance. Since you are likely to be gone, let them know who your agent is and the open house schedule. Peculiarly after it ends, in example you aren't position straightaway, ask if they gift protect an eye and ear afford for anything out of the indifferent.
Keep pets secured – a dog should never be left on the property during an open house, and cats (especially if they are indoor-only) should be secured in an escape-proof area or kitty crate. Remove and close minuscule and brittle items around the domiciliate, as good as things future buyers mightiness stair on, delapidate, or misstep over.
Remember to ‘child-proof’ by removing items a prospect’s child might be tempted to ingest.
Of course, put away the valuables. The exposure your property will receive during an open house in Jupiter is invaluable, but removing temptation (including prescription medications) will make it much more likely that results are 100% positive.
After your return, be sure to double-check the entire property to be ensure the doors, gates, and windows are properly locked. Thieves have been known to use open houses to scout for valuables and points of entry. The valuables were already removed; now, foiling the easy entrance will thwart that possibility. An open house in Arlington is a powerful marketing tool in any agent’s toolbox.
