Would you like to Rent a newer Luxury Home for half price?
Dear Readers -
Scott Godzyk from Manchester, New Hampshire, provides a very important lesson in this post. DON'T GET SCAMMED! Comments on this post are very helpful as well. I encourage you to go to the original post and read them for yourself.
One comment (among the MANY great ones) comes from Rob Arnold and may be brief but it is a very important reminder:
"(1) if by owner, look up the tax records and then verify their identity with a photo ID
(2) if by agent, make them provide a copy of their real estate license so you can verify online and a photo ID."
Common sense? Yes, and important for everyone's personal SAFETY also. Great reminder Scott Godzyk !
Have a successful end to 2015 - Lynn
PS If I haven't thanked you personally yet for reading and sometimes commenting on my posts - let me do so now - THANKS! L.
Who wouldn't want to rent to own a newer luxury home at more than half off market rents. What a great deal or is it? When the police call to say 3 families are at one of my vacant bank owned listings ready to move in, can i get over there to clear things up. I smelled something wrong. All i had to hear is "we saw an ad on Craigslist for a rent to own home at half price to any family willing to care for the home."
How can people not know about this rental scam that as been around for way over 5 years? Who would rent a home without seeing the inside? and... who would wire money overseas without seeing said home or without signing a lease?
THE TOP 10 WAYS TO SPOT A SCAM
1. They are asking you to rent a home without letting you see inside.
2. They ask you to wire money.
3. The rental price is less than market rates
4. The say they are out of the country
5. They say they are missionaries
6. They say they are doing you a favor cutting the rent so you care of the home Iike they would
7. You notice the home is for sale as well
8. You found it online by owner and not through a listing agent
9. Take the time to look up the tax card, see who the owner is. Meet in person. Ask for ID.
10. When it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
YOU deserve the BEST service when Buying or Selling a home. Real Estate is not a time for trial and error or short cuts. Some times the hard truth it what it takes to sell a home.

THE TOP TIPS TO FIND A "GREAT" REAL ESTATE AGENT
1. LEARN THIS ONE FACT: One should know that All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest Agent or Company. It is important to Hire the BEST Agent. In NH that could be me.
2. CHOOSE THE RIGHT AGENT: As a Buyer OR Seller in this market you need every advantage you can to get your home sold. It starts with choosing the right agent. a. Ask for a Full time agent whose sole job is to sell homes. b. Ask for a Full service agent who will guide you through each step of the selling process. Discount brokers often equal discount services. c. Ask for a Local agent who knows your neighborhood and is readily available when you need them is a must. Out of town agents can leave you high and dry in your time of need. d. Ask for a well experienced Listing Agent can give you the advantages you need when selling your home. Not all agents are created equal. Choose only the best.
