Have you been watching the Summer Olympics in Rio so far? We binged over the weekend and caught a little bit of everything…soccer, basketball, swimming, ping pong, field hockey, and more! But not everything at the Olympics has been glamorous so far.
You’ve probably heard that the athlete accomodations at the Rio Olympics leave something to be desired, but there’s still plenty to love when it comes to real estate in this Brazillian city!

Which house is your favorite? Will you be watching the Olympics? What’s your favorite sport to watch?
These are wonderful interiors! I like it when luxury and coziness go together. Usually, this is rarely seen.
By the way, what measures do you take to protect your property from intruders? It’s not a secret that luxury, expensive homes attract more attention, as they potentially have more valuable items that can be stolen.
We know how to make your home safer. We have a guide on it (https://sentriforce.com/news/how-to-reduce-crime-in-your-apartment-community/), but here are 3 the most simple, but effective practices:
1. Call your local law enforcement.
Many police departments offer crime-free/crime prevention programs that are designed to reduce crime and other unwanted activities.
2. Implement more access control in your home.
By increasing access control, this will make it more difficult for unwanted guests to be able to enter the house.
3. Have something that is visually obvious that displays security presence as this can greatly deter criminals from targeting the property.
For example, a smart door lock or video surveillance cameras.
