In the real estate industry, the most significant concerns today revolve around Open Home Security and Personal Protection. Addressing these risks, Security Checked introduces the ultimate solution, offering unwavering assurance to both home sellers and agents. This solution guarantees that every individual entering a home for sale has undergone meticulous identity verification.
The Security Gap in Real Estate
The real estate sector has been falling short in fulfilling its responsibility by neglecting security vulnerabilities. Presently, any individual can access a property for sale using unchecked contact details. Under the guise of potential buyers, opportunistic thieves seize the chance to pilfer valuables or assess homes, later returning as intruders. This open and trusting approach to property viewings poses a substantial threat to sellers and the future property owners. Until now, the industry lacked a dependable system for precise identity verification, increasing the risks and potential harm to homeowners.
Agents in the Spotlight
Today, real estate agents find themselves at the forefront of an escalating crisis. With rising economic pressures and surging crime rates across all regions, homeowners looking to sell their properties are exposed to heightened risks. Ensuring homeowner safety and mitigating security vulnerabilities is crucial for all realtors, as most insurance policies will not cover losses when the wrongdoer has been invited into the home. Consequently, the agent and agency bear responsibility for theft and damage.

Security Checked: The Solution
Security Checked introduces an innovative solution that eradicates this vulnerability by confirming the true identity of everyone entering a home. This foolproof system benefits both buyers and sellers. For buyers, accessing an open home becomes a swift and seamless process. Buyers no longer need to disclose their personal details in front of strangers or endure the wait as agents manually compile attendee information. Buyers can also track the properties they’ve visited and offer contactless feedback to the agents. Identity verification enables the agent to distinguish genuine buyers from curious neighbors and time-wasters.
This verification is valid for 12 months and comes at a minimal cost of $14.95. Buyers are required to upload 100 points of identification documentation. Upon successful verification, buyers receive a unique QR code, which they can present to agents for scanning when seeking entry to open houses.

Client Testimonials
