How to Keep Your Home Safe During Showings: A Seller’s Guide

Written by Kimberly Smith - Your trusted Las Vegas Real Estate Queen

Because your peace of mind matters just as much as the sale.

When your home is for sale, it becomes open to agents, buyers — and sometimes, the unexpected.

The goal? Show your space without putting your belongings or privacy at risk.

Here are the safety steps I walk every seller through — so you can feel secure, even when you’re not home.


1. Store Valuables and Sensitive Documents

Before any showing, do a sweep: ✅ Put away jewelry, electronics, prescriptions, and personal paperwork. Out of sight = out of risk.


2. Use a Lockbox, Not Loose Keys

No buyer should ever be handed a key directly. ✅ Use a digital lockbox that tracks access and only opens for verified agents.


3. Protect Pets

It’s not just about safety—it’s also about stress. Take pets with you or secure them in a crate during showings. This prevents accidents and makes the visit more comfortable for buyers.


4. Use Smart Tech (If You Have It)

Small upgrades can offer peace of mind. ✅ Cameras, smart doorbells, and auto lights keep your home visible and protected.


5. Don’t Stay for the Showing

It’s better for both you and the buyer if you step out. ✅ Leave early, let your agent manage the tour, and do a quick security check before heading out.


👑 Kimberly’s Real Estate Queen Tip:

Selling your home shouldn’t mean feeling exposed. With the right steps in place, you stay in control every step of the way.

Because a confident sale starts with a secure home.
