A seasonal home can provide a great escape from everyday life, but how can you help keep it secure when you’re away? Protecting your property is essential for peace of mind, allowing you to enjoy your time away without worrying about potential issues. Here are some tips to ensure your seasonal home stays safe while you’re not there:

1. Install a Security System: A reliable security system can deter intruders and alert you to any suspicious activity. Consider cameras, motion detectors, and alarms.
2. Secure Windows and Doors: Ensure all entry points are locked and reinforced. Use deadbolts and consider installing window locks for added security.
3. Ask a Neighbor for Help: If possible, enlist the help of a trusted neighbor or friend to keep an eye on your property. They can collect mail, park their car in your driveway, and report any unusual activity.
4. Keep the Exterior Well-Lit: Motion-activated lights around the perimeter can deter potential intruders. Consider using timers for indoor lights to create the appearance that someone is home.
5. Maintain the Landscape: A well-kept yard can signal that the home is occupied. Make arrangements for landscaping services to keep the property looking lived-in.
6. Consider Insurance Coverage: Make sure your insurance policy covers your seasonal home adequately. Speak with one of our agents to ensure you have the right protection in place.
