This is a really good idea for anyone with some listings:

 

Original content by Joan Cox DRE# ER40011786

 

The other day a REALTOR® friend and I were having a discussion, and she said her listing was found on Craigslist.  This was not the first time for this same property.  She only knew about it when someone was walking the property, and the Seller stopped them asking what they were doing.

 

How do we prevent this from happening?    

 

We chatted for a while, and determined, putting a Google Alert in for each and every listing we take would hopefully catch the scammers putting up our listings on Craigslist.    

 

I have put alerts in for my name, the company name, but putting up individual properties was a new one.   BUT, each and every listing goes in now!   Sure would not want a buyer to be scammed because of one of my listings.

Good morning, Gabe... a great reblog. I've been doing this for years since when Craigslist first reared its ugly head almost 10 years ago.

Gabe, thank you for the reblog!   I had forgotten about putting in our listings into a Google alert, but started doing it again.

Sounds like a sound practice....Craig's list was never much of an influence here.

I missed this post on the first go around, so I am glad that you reblogged it, good information there.  Too many scammers in the world.

We put every listing into Craigslist - and have sold through this website as well. In fact tonight I received another lead from one of our Craigslist leads.  Hope it turns into something!  But there have been fake ads as well post on our listings. Once we see these, we immediately report them. Hope they eventually catch these people and throw the book at them!
