She urges agents to make a point of talking to sellers about safety during their listing presentations and giving them her Safe Seller Security Checklist to take with them on tours of homes. Hawkins also believes that safety-trained agents are a unique selling point and can help their clients sell their homes faster.
In addition to advising home sellers to lock their doors and windows, Hawkins recommends that they remove valuables from view, including jewelry and firearms. She also reminds agents to keep bills, invoices and credit cards in a secure place, and that anything labeled with names should be removed from the home, such as family photos.
