In the stifling heat of the summer, buyers are still searching for their perfect home.  Some may be devastatingly hot as soon as you open the door – particularly vacant homes or bank-owned properties.  And getting in and out of cars parked in the sun could also cause rapid changes in body temperature, so plan ahead to stay cool!

If you’re showing properties or simply touring them with your agent, pack refreshing snacks for the road.

• Fill your iced cooler with bottled water or juice.
• Get some fresh fruit to include in the cooler – apples, pears, oranges.
• Have some mints or candy handy should someone’s sugar drop because it’s too hot to eat and maintain a good blood sugar level.
• Bring an extra pair of non-prescription sunglasses to help protect your eyes.
• Park in the shade whenever possible.
• If possible, remember to crack your car windows to help vent out the ~~hot~~.

Try to stay cool this weekend as you go from house to house!
