Temporary Security Solutions for Homes on the Market

Selling a home—especially a vacant one—comes with a unique set of security challenges. Open houses, frequent showings, and long periods without occupants can leave properties vulnerable to theft, vandalism, or liability issues. For real estate agents and sellers, the goal is simple: keep the home secure without adding friction to the selling process.

That’s where temporary security solutions come in.

Professionally installed, short-term security systems offer peace of mind during the listing period—without permanent commitments or disruptive installations.

Why Homes on the Market Need Temporary Security

Homes for sale face risks that occupied homes don’t:

• Increased foot traffic from showings and open houses

• Vacant periods between visits

• Doors unlocked or improperly secured after showings

• Packages left unattended

• Limited visibility into what happens when no one is home

In Central Oregon, where many listings are second homes or vacation properties, these risks are even more common.

Temporary security bridges the gap between listed and sold.

What Is a Temporary Security System?

Temporary security solutions are professionally installed systems designed to protect a home only during the listing period. They’re flexible, wireless, and can be removed or transferred after the sale.

Common components include:

• Smart door and window sensors

• Video doorbells or exterior cameras

• Smart locks for controlled access

• Motion detection

• Mobile app access for agents and sellers

  
  

These systems can often be installed in a single visit and activated immediately.

Protecting Vacant Homes Without Complicating Showings

One of the biggest concerns agents have is security interfering with showings. The right system does the opposite—it simplifies access.

Smart Locks & Access Control

• Grant temporary access codes to agents or inspectors

• Remove codes instantly if needed

• Eliminate lockboxes and lost keys

• Track entry activity for added accountability

Discreet Monitoring

• Quiet operation during showings

• No visible clutter or distracting equipment

• Clean, professional appearance

  
  

The result: better control without slowing down the sale.

Peace of Mind for Sellers (and Agents)

Temporary security provides visibility when no one is home.

• Know when doors are opened or closed

• Receive alerts for unexpected activity

• Monitor deliveries or service visits

• Reduce liability concerns during showings

  
  

For agents, this also means fewer uncomfortable calls about missing items or unsecured doors.

Added Value Without Renovations

Security is one of the few upgrades that adds value without touching drywall.

Temporary systems:

• Don’t require permanent wiring

• Leave no marks or damage

• Can be removed cleanly after closing

• Can often be transferred to the buyer

  
  

This makes them ideal for both occupied and vacant listings.

A Better Experience for Buyers

Buyers appreciate knowing a home has been cared for.

A professionally secured listing:

• Feels safer and more intentional

• Signals responsible ownership

• Reduces post-closing confusion

• Allows buyers to move in with confidence

  
  

In some cases, buyers even choose to keep the system in place after closing.

Why Professional Setup Matters

DIY security systems often create more problems than they solve—missed alerts, Wi-Fi issues, confusing apps, or equipment left behind after the sale.

Professional temporary security ensures:

• Proper placement and coverage

• Reliable connectivity

• Clear instructions for agents and sellers

• Clean removal or transfer at closing

  
  

This is especially important in higher-end homes where presentation matters.
