Renae Stucki Realtor found this article posted on Realtor.com about a new scam affecting new home buyers. You can read their article about it HERE.
Essentially, scammers contact new home buyers and offer to send copies of their deed and other information for a fee. While all of this seems legit and certainly legal, the information they sell you is basically free. It’s information you can gather yourself without paying a huge fee for it.
There are other predatory activities scam artists masquerading as financial institutions use to cheat new home buyers out of their hard earned money. There are many red flags and reasons to be concerned about what’s happening around you.
This is another reason working with an agent is an essential part to buying a home. Agents are familiar with the process and also about the pitfalls and scams used against new home buyers. Having an agent helps you by protecting you from those who don’t have your best interests at heart.
