The answer

Design a repeatable showing reset, not a permanently staged life. Control scheduling, notice, valuables, medicines, private papers, devices, cameras, alarms, keys, pets, children, work calls, temperature, odour, lighting, parking, snow or mud, cancellation rules, and post-showing security checks.

Calgary-specific context

Calgary winter footwear, snow and ice, short daylight, Chinook temperature changes, garages, mudrooms, pets, and weather-driven same-day schedule changes belong in the operating plan.

What to do next

Write the occupied-home showing checklist and test one complete reset before launch.
