As the holiday season approaches, you may be planning events or travel plans to celebrate. While this is a fun time of year, it’s important to stay alert and plan ahead to protect your household’s well-being.
While out and about this holiday season, be mindful of packages being delivered if you’re going to be away for an extended amount of time. Tell a trusted friend or neighbor to hide packages delivered to your home if possible.
Make sure packages are hidden while inside from view of windows if left inside the house. Removing them from window view can discourage potential theft.
It’s important to not announce your departure when away on holiday trips. This deters thieves from taking the opportunity to steal or damage property if they know the house isn’t occupied.
You can take it a step further by pausing mail and newspaper delivery. When these items pile up, it can be an indication no one is around to pick them up.
When prepping for the holidays, be mindful of decorations - the national fire protection association reports hundreds of house fires each year from holiday decor.
For example, a burning candle unattended can grow and set other household items on fire, which can be extremely dangerous. Holiday lights not monitored can also potentially cause home fires, so It’s important to keep a close watch on these items when they’re in use this season.
Traveling and setting up holiday decorations can be a wonderful time for you and your loved ones. However, it’s important to watch your surroundings, keep a low profile and monitor your holiday decor. Doing so can save lives.

I have called Southwest Michigan home for 40 years. My mother's family ran a local locksmith service, and my father served as the Chief Investigator for the County's Prosecutor's office for many years. I love all that this area offers, and I enjoy serving the buyers and sellers who are moving in or out of Southwest Michigan.
My wife and I have two children, and we would not want to raise them anywhere else. Between the award-winning schools and the plethora of youth activities offered in Southwest Michigan, it's a great place to call home. We enjoy spending time with friends at the beach, boating, golfing, hunting, skiing "Up North," and fishing.
We give back generously to the community that has been so good to us. Currently, I serve on the Lakeshore Public Schools Foundation Board (LEF), as Past President of the St. Joe Kickers Sports Club, and as a Rotarian in the Stevensville-Lakeshore Rotary Club. We donate throughout the year to various local organizations, schools, and youth sports groups.
I want to put my experience and knowledge to work for you. Having sold more than 500 properties while earning the trust and respect of my fellow REALTORS, who voted me the "REALTOR of the Year," I am confident I can earn your trust as well.
