First Time Home Sellers - Are You Worried About Security and Your Possessions?

A common concern of sellers when they list their home, especially if it is for the first time, is security.

Pack away those valuables and important possessions

Pack away those valuables and important possessions

Sellers worry that something may get taken, or damaged, during an open house. Or when the home is being shown by another agent. This is a normal concern and is to be expected.

Buyers will not see your home on their own (except during an open house, but your agent will be there) and will need to be accompanied by a licensed agent who can access the lockbox. So this adds some measure of security. While I do not believe it happens often, there are times when a homeowner has had an item taken or damaged.

The best way around this is to make sure that any items that are valuable, precious, easily broken, personally meaningful, or irreplaceable are packed away.

Since you should de-clutter or de-personalize your home in order to have it show its best (even if it makes it feel that it is NOT your home anymore), putting away those things that are important to you will give you the best measure of security.
