DON'T give agents a bad name

I came across an article in Newsday , speaking about a man posing as an agent for a vacant property in Roosevelt. According to reporter, Kieran Crowley, the so-called agent rented the house for $1000.00 per month to the unknowing tenants. The fake professional was finally caught when the real owners turned up at the front door.

Just so you know, people typically don't pose as real estate professionals to swindle innocent people and scheme them out of money. A true realtor, like me, really cares about serving people and helping them find a home, and hold on to that home. But to be safe than sorry, this story proves that whether someone is a tenant, a buyer, or a seller, it's important to personally verify information before doing business.
