There is a growing scam targeting real estate agents that is becoming increasingly sophisticated—and dangerous.

It often starts like a normal lead.

A “buyer” reaches out about a property. They ask a few basic questions. Everything seems legitimate… until they push for a Zoom or GoToMeeting.

That’s where things change.

These individuals are not trying to buy a home. They are attempting to gain access to your systems, your data, and ultimately your business.

🔍 How the Scam Works

The “buyer” insists on a virtual meeting
They send a meeting link (Zoom, GoToMeeting, etc.)
The link may:
Install malware
Redirect to a fake login page
Request system access or downloads
Once access is gained, scammers can target:

Email accounts
MLS logins
Client information
Active transactions
🚩 Red Flags to Watch For

Pushes for a meeting immediately
Refuses or avoids a phone call
Claims to be out of state or unavailable
Sends their own meeting link
Vague or inconsistent about the property
Creates urgency to meet “right away”
🛡️ Protect Yourself and Your Clients

Verification must come before access.

Here are non-negotiable best practices:

✔ Always schedule and send your own meeting links
✔ Speak with the individual by phone before any virtual meeting
✔ Never download software from an unknown source
✔ Do not enter credentials into unfamiliar login pages
✔ Trust your instincts—if something feels off, it is

⚠️ Why This Matters

This is not just about one agent.

A compromised account can lead to:

Wire fraud
Identity theft
Exposure of client data
Legal and financial liability
🔐 The Bigger Picture

In today’s environment, safety isn’t just physical—it’s digital.

Whether in schools or in business, the principle is the same:

Report. Verify. Respond.

Stay alert. Stay protected.
Because prevention is always more powerful than response.

The spring market just hit the brakes. NAR’s March numbers came in worse than expected. Existing home sales dropped 3.6% to a 3.98 million annual pace, the slowest March since 2009. Sales fell in all four regions. And NAR slashed its 2026 forecast from a 14% gain down to just 4%.

But here’s what most people miss. Despite fewer sales, the median home price still hit a record $408,800 for March. That’s 33 straight months of year-over-year price increases. Inventory is still only 4.1 months of supply. Fewer transactions don’t mean lower prices when there’s nothing to buy. The market isn’t crashing. It’s frozen in place.
