20 Things Realtors Accidentally Reveal to Burglars During Open Houses
Every open house works the same way. Doors unlocked for four hours, strangers wandering through every room, and nobody checking who actually walked in behind the couple looking at closet space. A retired detective breaks down 20 details realtors give away without meaning to, from lockbox codes that never get changed to listing photos that map out exactly where the safe is. Some of it happens the day of the showing. Some of it stays online for years after the house sells.
Roy Callahan spent 26 years on the job, most of it in patrol, the back half working plainclothes property crime. This one is about the open house nobody thinks twice about and the small talk that tells a stranger everything they need to know.
Watch until the end for the one habit that undoes almost everything else on this list.
