Welcoming strangers into your home is always a bit nerve-wracking, especially if you are trying to sell the property to them. <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Not knowing who the people are and what their intentions are, can make for some uncomfortable situations and become a possible security risk.<\/p>\n

Stay safe during a show house day, whether you are an estate agent or the owner, by following these security tips:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. See who\u2019s coming:<\/b> If possible, position yourself where you can see prospective buyers\u2019 vehicles as they arrive and make a note of their registration numbers, the make and model of the car.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Keep the group together: <\/b>Don\u2019t be shy to ask your visitors to stay with you while you walk through the home together. This will avoid a situation where one person wanders off unsupervised during the viewing.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Do a quick check before the show day: <\/b>It is important to check that intercoms, buzzers and doorbells are in good working order. Remember to close the front entrance of the home before you start your tour.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Set up appointments:<\/b> Consider a Show Day, where you encourage \u201cby appointment\u201d viewings. This will avoid overlap between groups of visitors – and it gives you a good indication of the amount of people you can expect.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Stay in control:<\/b> If you\u2019ve got a bottleneck developing, encourage viewers to fill in the visitor\u2019s book or take a look at the garden and outdoor facilities while you are busy with the other group inside the home.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Get a mobile panic button:<\/b> Ask your security company if they offer any special mobile panic button services, which you can keep with you when on duty at a show house<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
