Services for Real Estate Pros with Farmers Insurance

I will probably now be known as the TIP WOMAN instead of the insurance agent, but if these tips help just one person, then I will wear the title with honor!!! :)

Remember you can see this tip and many others at www.farmersagent.com/mfernandez

Eight ways to keep your home secure while you are away.

•	Leave blinds open in their usual position.
•	Have mail and packages picked up, forwarded or held by the post office.
•	Lower the sound of your telephone ringer and answering machine so they can't be heard outside.
•	Arrange to have your lawn mowed or your walk shoveled.
•	Stop newspaper deliveries.
•	Ask a friend to pick up "throwaway" newspapers and circulars.
•	Use automatic timers to turn lights on and off in your living room and bedrooms at appropriate times.
•	Tell police and dependable neighbors when you plan to be away and ask them to keep a close watch on what's happening in your area.

Good advice, Maria. I also think if you have a garage with a window in it, it might be a good idea to put blinds or a curtain over the window so no one can tell when there is no car in the garage.
