FACTORS THAT PUT YOUR HOME AT RISK OF A BREAK-IN
Did you know that sixteen percent of Americans have experienced a home break-in? From open windows to a lack of alarm, there are a myriad of reasons that could put your home at risk. Below are the top five, in order, according to DIY home phone and security company Ooma.
24%
NEIGHBORHOOD OR SURROUNDINGS
Nearly a quarter of American homes are at risk simply based on their neighborhood or surrounding neighborhoods. Now, just because you might live in an area like this doesn’t mean you have to, or should, up and move. But contacting your local home security company to do an analysis and find the best home security system for you is a great start.
16%
NO ALARM
Failing to install a home security system is the second leading cause of a home invasion, results show. If you can’t afford an alarm system, placing a sign by your door claiming that you’re protected may help sway cautious burglars.
14%
AN UNLOCKED DOOR
While only fourteen percent of Americans who have experienced a burglary say an open door was the cause, nearly 42 percent leave their doors unlocked, which is just begging for a (not so forced) entry. So please, lock your doors.
8%
AN OPEN WINDOW
Windows come second to open doors. Never leave ground floor windows open when you leave the house, and make sure they are locked when you are away or asleep. Burglars can open them from the outside.
7%
LIVING IN AN APARTMENT BUILDING
Simply living in an apartment building ups your chance of a break in, as housing units see more foot traffic, and can be easier for strangers to enter without suspicion. Look for a building with front entrance security measures, like an ID swipe, fob entry, key code, or doorman. Minimize your risk for a break-in by making sure you always lock your windows and doors. Installing a double bolt is a great added step as well. But to really insure your and your home’s security and wellbeing, contact a reputable home security company to install a home security system in your home.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR A SMOOTH TRANSITION TO A NEW HOME
Moving to a new home can be an exciting but overwhelming experience. The process of packing, organizing, and relocating belongings can be stressful if not properly planned. However, with the right tips and tricks, you can simplify the moving process and ensure a smooth transition to your new home. By following these guidelines, you can save time, reduce stress, and start settling into your new home with ease.
Create a Moving Timeline Start by creating a moving timeline that outlines all the tasks you need to accomplish before, during, and after the move. Set specific dates for each task, such as packing, notifying utilities, and hiring movers. Breaking the process into manageable steps will help you stay organized and on track.
Declutter and Downsize Before packing, take the opportunity to declutter and downsize your belongings. Sort through each room, separating items into categories like keep, donate, sell, or discard. This not only reduces the number of items you'll have to move but also helps create a fresh start in your new home.
Gather Packing Supplies: Collect all the necessary packing supplies, including sturdy boxes in various sizes, packing tape, bubble wrap, packing paper, and markers. Having these supplies on hand will make the packing process more efficient.
Pack Room by Room: To stay organized, pack one room at a time. Label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This will make unpacking easier and help movers know where to place each box in your new home.
Create an Essentials Box Pack a separate essentials box with items you'll need immediately upon arriving at your new home. Include toiletries, medications, a change of clothes, bedding, and basic kitchen supplies. This way, you won't have to search through multiple boxes to find essential items on your first night.
Notify Important Parties Ensure a seamless transition by notifying important parties of your address change. This includes updating your address with the post office, banks,
credit card companies, insurance providers, and any subscriptions or memberships you have.
Hire Professional Movers or Enlist Help Consider hiring professional movers to handle the heavy lifting and transportation of your belongings. Obtain quotes from multiple companies and read reviews to find reputable and reliable movers. If you prefer a DIY approach, enlist the help of family and friends well in advance.
Take Photos of Utility Meters Before leaving your old home, take photos of utility meters, including gas, water, and electricity. This will serve as documentation and ensure you're not charged for services after you've moved out.
Pack an Overnight Bag Pack an overnight bag for each family member with essential items such as clothing, toiletries, and personal items. This will provide immediate access to necessities until you can fully unpack.
Update Your New Home's Security Once you arrive at your new home, prioritize updating the security. Change the locks on all exterior doors and consider installing a security system for added peace of mind. Moving to a new home can be a smooth and stress-free experience with proper planning and organization. By following these tips and tricks, you can simplify the process, minimize disruptions, and start enjoying your new home sooner. Remember to create a timeline, declutter, pack strategically, and enlist the help of professionals or loved ones. With a well-executed plan, you can turn your move into an exciting adventure and begin creating new memories in your new home.
