⚠️ Real estate scams are happening RIGHT NOW in Northwest Georgia — and someone relocating to our community was targeted just this week. She found a rental listing online, drove HOURS to see it, and discovered the whole thing was completely fake.

In this video, I'm breaking down the 4 most common real estate scams targeting buyers, sellers, and renters in our area right now — and exactly what you can do to protect yourself and your family.

In this video we cover:

🏠 Fake rental listings (and how to verify any listing before you waste your time or money)
💸 Wire fraud during home purchases (this one can cost you everything)
📋 Foreclosure and deed scams targeting struggling homeowners
🚩 Phony buyer deposits that tank your sale
