Ensuring your home is a safe haven should be a top priority for every homeowner. From preventing accidents to deterring intruders, here are some essential tips to help you protect everyone and everything under your roof. 

1. Secure Your Entry Points

A buyer is most likely to walk away if they cannot come to an agreement with the seller or a major issue like water intrusion or foundation issues pop up. 

Seller tip: There are two things a seller can do to help prevent a buyer from walking. Fixing necessary items…
