To all you snowbirds (or RVer's that are away from home for extended periods of time). When you are away from your stationary home do you have friends, neighbors or relatives look after your place? ...
WrongLane has a lot of good info above. Our agent know we snowbird like so many in our area.
On the subject of what to do to the house, here is a clicky.
With all the fellow snowbirds we meet, I have only heard of one that was house robbed. They figured it was a relative's druggy son that knew they were gone. Bad thing about this forum is it spreads so much fear from those that don't do what they are so afraid of.
