Open houses have been a ritual of real estate agents for as long as I can remember. What many agents won't tell you, however, is that they can be a magnet for crime! Think about it - there is no vetting process with an open house. Anyone and everyone can walk through the door. This is exactly what you get with an open house and because of this fact theft occurs quite often. Many real estate agents will not tell you this because they use the open house as an opportunity to prospect for business.
