Kids or No Kids At Real Estate Showings

A 6 year old girl nearly lost her life recently at a showing in Utah. How? The child ran through a glass door (which was not tempered) leading to the backyard at full speed and shattered it. Shards of glass cut her head, hands and a large piece was lodged in her abdomen. Thankfully the child was airlifted to a hospital and has survived.

With that said, today’s construction code requires glass to be tempered which reduces the chance of serious injury if the glass shatters or breaks.This applies to glass in cars, showers, entry and exit doors and windows at the bottom of a stairwells. You also see tempered glass in commercial properties as well. The reason this door was not manufactured with tempered glass is because the house was built in the 1970s and that was not a requirement back then.

Here’s A Quick Video I created with more in this story:

My question to you guys is simple, should buyers bring their kids to real estate showings or leave them at home?

Bring Kids

Leave Them At Home?
