Leaving the Fort

I must get at least 5 real estate magazines a month, and often it is hard to make it through all of them. Also, I have subscriptions to another 3 online trade email news services. This article was interesting, and I wanted to share it with you. Food for thought.


Leaving the Fort: Tips for Protecting Your Home While You’re Away
RISMEDIA, May 25, 2007-"On the road again" seems to be the summertime anthem, indicating that the vacation season is here. However, fun in the sun means being responsible and ensuring the safety of your family and your home. Peter McMurtrie, chief claims officer for Grange Insurance, offers up some advice for safe traveling and preparation.
According to McMurtrie, a few simple precautions made before you leave the house can ensure a much happier return. "The best way to ruin an enjoyable vacation is to come home to preventable problems," McMurtrie says.
Before an extended getaway, McMurtrie advises to:
- Give a trip itinerary and emergency numbers to a trusted friend or neighbor.- Remove all "hidden" exterior house keys.- Let your security company know you will be out of town.- Stop your newspaper, mail and package deliveries through the U.S. Postal Service.- Turn off the water and gas supply to prevent leaks or water damage while you're away.- Make arrangements for a friend, family member or neighbor to take care of your home, including maintenance of your lawn and care of the family pet.- Put lights, radios and televisions on timers to give the impression that your home is being lived in while you're gone.- Make sure that valuables are not in plain sight from exterior windows.- Consider engraving identification information on larger items such as stereos and televisions.- Check all doors and windows to ensure locks are working properly.
"It may seem like a lot to get done before a trip, but the peace of mind is far more important than anything while you're away," McMurtrie says.
Before hitting the road, have your car thoroughly serviced and filled with gas, and inspect your car safety kit to make sure it has all the necessities: water, jumper cables, flares, flashlights, equipment to change a tire and a first aid kit. It's also a great idea to pack non-perishable snacks, food and juice. Now you're ready to buckle up and go!
"These few simple precautions can make all the difference between coming back to a secure home or returning to a mess of troubles," McMurtrie says. "So head to that open road and return home safely."
