Continued reports of seller pharmaceutical theft- please protect yourself as well as the seller

We continue to receive reports of seller pharmaceutical theft during open houses and showings. Unfortunately the desire for the medication may put you in physical danger if any way you block an attempted theft. The seller may be put in danger of not having the medication he/she needs in a timely manner.

Please make sure you follow the recognized safety tip of asking your sellers to go through their medicine cabinets and cupboards and remove all medication or lock up the medication during open houses and scheduled showings. A nice way to show you care and the value of your service is to purchase a small keyed lockbox for your listing clients. They run about $10-15 dollars at the discount stores and advice the client to put the locked lockbox in a closet or other location away from bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms such as a hall or linen closet.
