Open Houses: Safety When Selling in the Phoenix Valley

A showing is a controlled visit: the buyer has usually been vetted, is often prequalified, and is working with an agent under an agreement. An open house is the opposite. The door is open to anyone who chooses to walk in off the street, vetted or not. That difference makes safety and security the first consideration, not an afterthought.

Lock away all valuables, medications, documents, keys, and anything sensitive, the same list as showings, taken even more seriously.

Secure firearms.

Never leave the home staffed by one person alone with a stream of unknown visitors. This is a real safety issue, and it is exactly why this should not be on you.

The right way to run an open house is with experienced agents managing the door, greeting visitors, and watching the home, while you are away. You should not be hosting strangers in your own home or trying to watch every room. When you list with me, my team runs the open house: we manage entry, keep eyes on the home, engage visitors, capture every lead, and follow up. You get the exposure without the exposure to risk.

Keep your distance, interact minimally, never tour alone with a stranger, and let the agents manage the floor. But the goal is simple: let the team handle it and step away.
