A Home Showing Isn’t Just About Unlocking a Door. It’s About Looking Out For You.

Buying a home should be exciting—but every property is unfamiliar, and thoughtful preparation matters.

When you work with a PBBOR REALTOR®, client service begins before you ever step inside. It means scheduling showings properly, asking about pets, explaining safety protocols, watching for hazards and helping you tour each property with greater confidence.

Buyers can help protect themselves by:
🔑 Visiting only homes scheduled through their REALTOR®
☀️ Touring unfamiliar properties during daylight when possible
📱 Keeping a charged phone and sharing their plans with someone they trust
👟 Watching for uneven flooring, construction areas and other hazards
👨‍👩‍👧 Supervising children throughout every showing
🚨 Leaving immediately if they encounter smoke, exposed wiring, standing water, structural damage or another serious concern

That same care continues after closing. New homeowners should rekey or replace locks, change garage and security codes, reset smart-home devices and confirm that former owners no longer have digital access.

A member of the Permian Basin Board of REALTORS—The Voice for Real Estate in the Permian Basin—cannot remove every potential risk—but a knowledgeable, attentive professional can help you prepare, recognize concerns and make better-informed decisions.

For PBBOR members, client service is more than helping you find the right property. It means protecting your interests, earning your trust and helping you feel supported from the first showing through the day you receive the keys.
That is the level of service buyers should expect from their REALTOR® partner.

New keys. New address. One more thing to check. 🔑

Moving comes with a long list: utilities, insurance, mail, schools, deliveries—and a hundred little details that somehow never make the list.

Here’s one that matters: your voter registration.

If you’ve recently moved, take a moment to make sure your registration reflects your current information. That applies whether you moved across town or to a different Texas county.

A change of address can affect where and how you vote, so don’t assume everything automatically followed you to your new home.

Check your registration.
Update it if needed.
Then get back to enjoying the new place.

At the Permian Basin Board of REALTORS—The Voice for Real Estate in the Permian Basin—we believe helping people put down roots also means helping them stay connected to the communities they call home.

NOTE: For the November 3 Texas general election, the registration deadline is Monday, October 5, early voting runs October 19–30, and Election Day is Tuesday, November 3. Plus, October 23 is the ballot-by-mail application deadline for eligible voters.
