1. Never leave a message on your answering machine telling callers you are not at home.
2. Never set an appointment with anyone to see your home unless you have their name and number and have called back to verify that number.
3. Remember to remove keys, credit cards, jewelry, and other valuables from the home or lock them away during open houses.
4. Never discuss your personal schedule or habits with potential buyers.
5. Carry a mobile phone with you in case you need to make a call to the authorities or to emergency personnel.
6. After an open house, check all the windows, doors, and other entrances to make sure they are locked.
