How to Protect Your Home from Online Burglary Threats
With real estate listings going digital, criminals are increasingly using platforms like Zillow, Redfin, and Google Street View to plan burglaries from the comfort of their own homes. These “burglary tourists” can view detailed interior photos, spot security systems, and identify access points—all without ever stepping foot in your neighborhood.
To protect yourself, limit what you showcase in online listings. Avoid posting detailed videos or nighttime photos that could reveal security camera locations or entry points. Always blur your home on Google Maps, and claim your listing on Zillow to remove sensitive photos once the home is sold.
When selling, it’s vital to balance great marketing with safety. Ensure valuable items are removed from photos, and talk to your realtor about privacy measures to keep your home safe.
