🚨 FRIENDS, PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN LOOKING FOR A HOME ONLINE! 🏡
I wanted to share this because I recently found out that some of my rental and for-sale listings are being posted on TikTok and other social media by people who are NOT affiliated with me or my brokerage. They are using my listing pictures and property information and, unfortunately, trying to collect money from people. 😔
Please, please do your homework before sending anyone money or personal information!
❤️ A few things I always recommend:
🏠 Drive by the property and see if there is a REALTOR® or brokerage sign in the yard.
📞 Call the number on the actual sign to verify who is listing or managing the property.
🔎 Search for the property on the actual REALTOR®/brokerage page or legitimate real estate websites.
💰 NEVER send a deposit, application fee, or rent to someone just because you saw the property on TikTok or Facebook. Verify who you are dealing with first!
🚩 And remember… if the price seems WAY too good to be true, please stop and do your research.
Scammers are getting very good at copying legitimate listings, pictures and descriptions and making them look completely real. That’s why I want to remind everyone — don’t just trust the post, VERIFY THE SOURCE!
I would much rather you take a few extra minutes to verify everything than lose your hard-earned money. ❤️
And if you ever see one of my properties posted somewhere suspicious, please send it to me. I’m happy to verify it for you.
I’m sharing this because I care about my clients, tenants, buyers, sellers and our community. ❤️🏡
Stay safe, do your research, and please share this so we can help protect others! 🙏
