The answer

Remove or secure identity, financial, legal, medical, employment, school, travel, access, and security information; control valuables, medicines, keys, remotes, codes, devices, cameras, alarms, occupancy clues, and post-showing checks. Use the authorized showing and access process and obtain qualified guidance for surveillance, tenancy, consent, or privacy questions.

Calgary-specific context

Garages, sheds, side gates, condo fobs, storage lockers, vacant homes, smart-home devices, lockboxes, and winter access create separate Calgary showing controls.

What to do next

Create an access inventory and assign who verifies every opening, code, key, device, and alarm after showings.
