PropertyRecordLookup.com Creates Guide to Preventing Real Estate Agent Scams
Houston, TX (PRWEB) December 02, 2013 -- PropertyRecordLookup.com is about to launch a guide to help customers avoid falling victim to a real estate agent scam, the company announced yesterday.
“Many people are worried about a home seller trying to run a scam on them,” a PropertyRecordLookup.com spokesman said. “What they don't realize is that if they are not careful, they run the risk of becoming the victim of a scam their own real estate agent is running.”
PropertyRecordLookup.com said real estate agents are often motivated to run a scam in order to get a commission from the sale of the home.
“While the real estate agent is supposed to work for you, they are actually paid by the seller,” he said. “This puts them in a position where a conflict of interest can easily arise – and puts pressure on them to sell the home, even if they have to run a scam.”
The guide will explain all of the common types of schemes a real estate agent scam artist might try, he said. Then it shows the reader how to look out for them and avoid them before they can become a scam victim.
“People don't even know the basics,” the PropertyRecordLookup.com spokesman said. “For example, if they try to push a given housing inspector on you, that is a big red flag. We want to teach people everything they need to know to not become a scam victim.”
The anti-scam guide will be published in the members' area of PropertyRecordLookup.com as well as their social media sites and blogs, he said.
