I have never been involved in any fraudulent transactions, nor have I run across shady characters in 25 years. I pick and choose my clients very carefully.

If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. I've not run into anybody in person trying to scam me. Some online contacts from overseas are pretty easy to figure out. Always tell your clients to be extremely careful with wire transfers and follow the original instructions and still verify they have the right information over the phone or in person.

The lender and the title attorney will catch any problems.

If it sounds too good to be true, If it doesn't seem right, if it doesn't pass the smell test it is likely something fishy is going on.

My "spidey" sense never lets me down. I google or research every client. If I can't find anything the "spidey sense" starts to tingle.

The one I saw a couple years ago where the guy ended up in jail, IIRC, was "I have a way to complete the transaction without escrow or title... to save us all some money."

Hi Brian,
There is no "public" as a Rainer. You need to upgrade to a Rainmaker account.

A few years ago, when REOs and short sales were a huge percentage of our market, I received an offer on a listing which was for much more than the value of the home. The agent would have had a lender and appraiser, who were part of the scheme, provide an appraisal and a loan. The offer included a large cash credit back to the buyer, who was also in on the scheme, for “improvements”. The plan was for the scammers to pocket the cash and default on the loan. I recognized the scheme and the offer was rejected. It was not an uncommon practice and agents and brokers went to jail…and deserved it.
