This week is going to be a quick KEY elements on PROTECTING your
investment. I saw this article and just think it is very smart. Too
many people, no matter what neighborhood are broken into, especially
this time of the year. Follow these easy tips and protect your
INVESTMENT....
Your Home - Keeping your Home Safe When You are Away
It is summer time and that means many people are leaving their homes
for vacation! Before you leave for your trip, make sure to secure your
home. To keep your mind at ease and have a more stress-free vacation,
try following some of these tips:
Lights on a Timer
Set your timers on different hours or even different days to insure there is not an easily recognizable pattern.
Call the Post Office
Ask your local Post Office to hold your mail held for the length of your trip so it doesn't pile up in front of your house.
Social Media
Don't post any of your travel plans on social media. As more and more
people tend to have their entire life documented on one of the social
media sites; it would be wise to think twice before posting your travel
plans or listing dates while you are away from your home.
Yard Work
If you are going to be gone for a while, have someone come by and mow
the lawn. Call a landscaping company or ask a neighbor to stop by to do
this at least once a week while you are gone.
