Natalie, when it comes to selling your house and open house is one way to expose your property to a large number of potential buyers. But you could also be exposure yourself to thieves. It’s the season tons of homes for sale. Sometimes real estate agents take clients through a home, others times the doors are thrown open wide and hope buyer will walk in and make an offer. But in Langley, thieves have been walking out with stolen goods.

Out of seven incidents in May alone, five of them over $5000, almost $50,000 was in total. It’s one reason some agents refuse to do open house at all. You just don’t know who you are dealing with.
“I don’t know anything about them, when they come to the front door. Like don’t have them screen forsa, for me I don’t’ deal them.”

If your home has multiple floors and entrances, ask your realtor to bring in helpers to watch your property. Hide your personal documents, bills, credit cards and bank statements. And remove personal photographs, so anything that might identity you. Police say a dark color Ford, Mazda has been linked to some of the thieves, Driven by tow cocation women, one of them walk a cane.
