6 Security Essentials When Selling Your Key Biscayne Waterfront Condo

In the previous article, we listed some ways to host a successful open house for your waterfront condo in Key Colony Key Biscayne. This time, we’ll discuss the security essentials that you need to keep your home safe not only during an open house but the entire home selling process.

Let’s face it. Once you put your home on the market, your home will be open to the public. Posting your listing on online websites like www.MiamiRivieraHomes.com and having showings as well as open houses will likely drive traffic to your home. However, you must realize that when you place ads, not only interested buyers will pay attention, scammers will likely notice them, too.

Consider the following security essentials to keep your waterfront condo in Key Colony Key Biscayne FL safe throughout the sale:

1. Hide all valuables from plain view and store them in a safe, locked place. Also remove prescription medicine, bank statements, IDs, important or private documents or anything with great resale value.

2. In your advertising, add phrases such as “Appointment only” and “Driver’s license required”, suggests Robert Siciliano, a Personal Security and Identity Theft Expert. This will be your first layer of defense.

3. Install security system, in addition to having upgraded windows and door locks, to deter potential burglars. Also put a “Video surveillance in use” signage in the front door.

4. If you are not home all the time or if you are living elsewhere, consider placing automatic lights that turn on when it gets dark to give the impression of activity in the home.

5. Since burglars are very good at reading the signs that tell how occupied a home is, keep your home regularly cleaned and well-maintained.

6. Ask trustworthy neighbors to keep an eye on things. They can easily notice if anything looks out of place and notify you immediately.

Keep your Key Colony Key Biscayne beachfront condo safe and burglar-free by having extra security and applying the above mentioned security measures. This way, you can focus your energy on the more important aspects of home selling.
