Here are a couple of tips on how to help protect your house.
I’m here with Jason White, who works in home insurance and is a former police officer, and we wanted to talk a bit about how to keep your home safe. This is a question I get a lot. I also get a similar question of, “Which neighborhoods are the safest?” As a quick disclaimer, I am not allowed to answer that as a North Carolina Realtor, but someone like Jason may be able to answer your questions on that.
