Unveiling the Hidden Risks: Dangers of Open Homes in Real Estate Transactions

Open Home Security is about to change forever.”

AUSTRALIA, November 30, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As the real estate industry thrives on the tradition of open homes to showcase properties, there's a growing need to address the often-overlooked dangers and risks homeowners face when selling their properties through this widely adopted practice.

*The Unseen Threats of Open Homes*

While providing a platform for potential buyers to explore properties, open homes expose homeowners to risks that demand urgent attention. Unchecked access to residences during these events creates an environment where opportunistic individuals, disguised as potential buyers, can exploit vulnerabilities. This situation has led to an alarming rise in incidents of theft, property damage, and, in extreme cases, invasion by criminals who use the open home setting as a reconnaissance opportunity.

*Security Vulnerabilities and Homeowner Safety*

The real estate industry has traditionally operated with an open and trusting approach to property viewing. However, this approach comes with inherent security vulnerabilities that can significantly impact the safety and well-being of homeowners. Using fake contact details, Opportunistic Thieves gain access to properties under the guise of potential buyers during open homes. Subsequently, these individuals may return as intruders, posing a substantial threat to both sellers and the future owners of these properties.

*Agents' Role and Liability*

Real estate agents find themselves at the forefront of this issue, navigating a delicate balance between showcasing properties and ensuring the safety of homeowners. Economic pressures and rising crime rates across Australasia contribute to an increased risk for homeowners looking to sell their properties. The critical issue arises when insurance policies often do not cover claims related to theft or damage if the culprit is invited into the home during an open house. This leaves agents and agencies liable for potential repercussions.
