Do you have an open house safety plan?
Navigating the bustling world of real estate, especially during open houses, requires a proactive approach to safety. Here are some guidelines to ensure both a professional and secure environment:
- Know Your Guests: Have guests sign a registry upon arrival. It's a great tool for follow-ups and adds a layer of security.
- Stay Connected: Always keep your phone charged. More importantly, inform a colleague, friend, or family member about the details and timing of your open house.
- Plan Your Exit: Get to know the property's layout. Ensure you're familiar with all exits, positioning yourself with a clear path to one during tours.
- Limit Personal Info: Keep discussions professional. Advise homeowners to put away personal photos and items during the open house.
- Secure Valuables: Remind homeowners to lock away or remove valuables, medicines, and essential documents.
- Stay Alert: Trusting your instincts is vital. If a situation feels uncomfortable or unfamiliar, always prioritize your safety.
You can offer a top-notch open house experience with careful planning and communication while ensuring everyone's safety. Stay alert and thrive!
