I’m not an alarmist and I don’t like scaring people, but so many home sellers don’t realize how important it is to make sure the Realtor® they’ve hired gets the opportunity to screen ‘potential buyers’ or other agents BEFORE they see the home for sale.
Unfortunately there are a few unscrupulous people in this world, and this story is just one example of a home seller not thinking to have their Realtor® screen someone who claims to be interested in their home.
You’ve hired your Realtor® to protect not only your interest, but your privacy as well. If someone approaches you directly, asking to tour your home, just give them your agent’s number, and let him/her determine if they’re legitimate.
