Showings, Privacy & Security: Protecting Home Life While Selling
Answer 5 questions to get a 5-category security checklist: pre-showing prep, valuables, verification, pocket-listing cases, and incident response — selling means dozens of strangers in your home; prepare before, not after.
Once listed, strangers walk through your home every week: buyers, lookers, agents. The vast majority are just touring — but 'mostly safe' isn't safe. Prescription meds, ID documents, jewelry, logged-in computers: one lapse is one risk. This checklist breaks selling-period security into five parts, including pocket listings (selling without public exposure) and what to do if something goes wrong.
- Every showing is strangers at the door — declutter to 'everything removable' standard
- Pocket listings cut exposure but still need verification and agreements
- Legal items (prescriptions, recording disclosure) are flagged — confirm with your agent/attorney
