Be Safe When Using Your Mobile Phone

In today’s digital age, cell phones have become a staple in our daily lives. No matter where we go, everyone has their trusty device glued to their hands. From texts and calls to social media scrolling and online shopping, cell phones have made everything accessible with just a few taps of our fingers. However, with the convenience comes a hidden danger that often goes unnoticed – the potential risks associated with using cell phones regularly. So grab your phone and read how to keep yourself safe.
The convenience of mobile devices also comes with risk. As you check-in, text, share photos, and increasingly run your life on the go, you may inadvertently expose private information or make yourself more likely to be a victim of a crime. Here are four things you should be aware of as you use new mobile and social technology that might spare you expensive or embarrassing lessons:
1. Watch “checking in” through social media.
Apps like Foursquare and websites like Facebook allow you to “check-in” when you’re out and about, effectively broadcasting where you are… and where you’re not. Be especially sensitive to checking in from airports and locations far from home. Enterprising thieves can use this information to target your home or business.
2. Evaluate Photos You Share on social media.
If a picture is worth 1,000 words, what are your pictures on Facebook saying to friends, family, and co-workers? Just like checking in when you’re out of town, vacation photos posted in real time can inadvertently let people know you’re not home.
3. You must log out of public computers.
Have you ever checked your email in an internet cafe or hotel computer? Did you remember to log out? Closing a browser window isn’t usually enough. People who open the browser can often waltz into your email account because your “session” is still active. Remember to click “log out” or “exit my account” when logging into private accounts through public machines.
4. Password protect your device.
Smartphones now carry the sort of data you used to keep under lock and key in your home office or closet safe. If your devices are lost or stolen, how much of your private information could be exposed through your device?
First and foremost, add password protection to your device in case it is lost. Most have a setting you can activate, forcing someone to enter a code before accessing the apps and data on the device.
Second, consider adding an app or service to track your device via GPS if lost or stolen. Depending on your device, many options exist to help locate your smartphone if it disappears. To find an app specific to your device, try Googling (without quotation marks): “app tracks stolen [device name]” where [device name] is replaced with your brand of smartphone (iPhone, Android, Blackberry, etc.).
These tips will help to keep your mobile phone data safe. It is essential to remember that your online security and privacy should always be a top priority. As technology evolves, so do the steps to protect yourself. Remembering these steps while using your mobile phone will help you keep you safe. And if you ever need tips or advice about real estate – don’t hesitate to give me a call – I’m always happy to help!

Use AirBnb to Sell Your Home

If you stop to think about it, selling a home is a strange endeavor. You’re asking prospective buyers to make a considerable investment in your house without the experience of actually living there. Yet this is standard procedure. Buyers make offers after showings without spending a single night in the home where they plan on living!
Now, there’s an emerging marketing trend designed to take some of the ambivalence out of buying a home. Some sellers are letting prospective buyers “live” in their house for a few days to see if the home is right for them.
AirBnB is one platform that makes this strategy possible. Most effective for sellers who have staged their house and are not currently living in the listing, the approach is direct: Sellers list the home on AirBnB, and when they have an interested buyer, they arrange a temporary “rental” of the property. This way, the buyers get to spend real time in the home. They are allowed privacy, the chance to see what it’s like to sleep in the house at night, and use the facilities just as they would if they owned the home.
While the approach goes a long way to calming buyer fears, the idea is not without its critics. For one, not all brokers may be comfortable with this approach. Obviously, having prospective buyers temporarily rent the home can create difficulties in showing the home to other buyers when the property is rented.
Also, infrequent horror stories are associated with this type of short-term rental. Home damage and even squatters who refuse to leave have happened to people listing their property on AirBnB. Finally, potential legal complications relate to short-term rentals in specific communities. Nonetheless, thousands of people have offered their short-term rental with no problem.
You can see the appeal, though. There’s a real potential for buyers to build an emotional attachment to your home if they spend a little vacation time there together while evaluating the property.
What do you think? Would you AirBnB your home if it gave you a selling advantage?
AirBnB’ing your home is hardly the only strategy for a quick, competitive sale. I have a full range of marketing and sales techniques to help you sell! If you’re thinking about selling soon, get in touch to see what I can do for you! Liz Norvelle (928) 458-4025
