Selling your home is an exciting yet busy process. Among the many things you'll need to think about, your safety should always be a priority. When you're opening your door to potential buyers, you need to ensure that you're letting the right people in and protecting both your property and yourself. In this guide, I’ll show you how Zoldly's enhanced showing process helps you maintain control, ensuring that you can sell your home with confidence, knowing your safety is in good hands.

Verify Credentials for a Safer Showing

One of the key advantages of working with Zoldly is the built-in security of our showing app. Unlike traditional methods, everyone who wants to view your listing through Zoldly is required to submit a showing request. This extra step ensures that only verified individuals—whether they are real estate agents or buyers—can schedule a showing. We take the guesswork out of the process by verifying all credentials, providing an extra layer of security for both you and your property.

This means that when you allow someone to view your home, you can feel confident knowing their identity has been confirmed. Zoldly's showing app streamlines this process, making it easier for you to control who enters your home.

Schedule Showings During the Day

Safety experts recommend scheduling home showings during daylight hours to reduce risks. With Zoldly’s app, you can easily choose a time slot that works best for you, avoiding the stress of late showings. Daylight hours not only provide better visibility, but they also help create a safer environment for both you and potential buyers.

Stay Informed: Keep Others in the Loop

Another safety measure to consider is informing a trusted friend or family member of your schedule. With Zoldly's showing app, you can easily share the details of your appointment, including who’s showing up and when, so that someone knows where you are. If something feels off, having someone aware of your whereabouts can make all the difference.

Remove Valuables from Sight

While not directly related to safety, securing your valuables before a showing is a smart move. Jewelry, electronics, and important documents should be kept out of sight. Research shows that homes are 20% less likely to experience theft when valuable items are hidden from view. By doing this, you not only protect your belongings but also create a cleaner, more inviting environment for potential buyers.

Utilize Home Security Features

Take advantage of any security features your home offers. Whether you have a security system or cameras in place, using them during showings can provide peace of mind. Zoldly’s app also allows you to stay connected, enabling you to monitor showings remotely and ensuring that your home is safe during each appointment.

Trust Your Instincts and Set Boundaries

During showings, it’s important to trust your gut. If you feel uncomfortable at any point, take action. Whether it’s asking for a break or rescheduling, your comfort should always come first. Additionally, it's a good idea to set clear boundaries about areas of your home that are off-limits to buyers. For example, you might restrict access to bedrooms or personal spaces to ensure your privacy is respected.
