Guess it’s the real estate agent in me!
While walking, I tend to notice if something is not quite right. Â I am often closing storm doors and pool gates, returning trash cans to the side yard, or investigating if I see an unusual amount of water around a house.
I will notify an owner (or their agent) if a window or door is left open.
The local police are very responsive when I call, yet have expressed frustration if they don’t have contact information on file.
Properties with alarms are required to install a Knox Box with a door key inside.  All other home owners should share a cell phone number with the police department for emergencies.
AND, my annual reminder that a “winter watch” service provides peace of mind, and helps to protect your valuable asset!
P.S. This storm door was blown open the other morning. Â Called the agent who works with the owner so that the door and outdoor light can be repaired.
