Reading the posts regarding lending scams, I have gotten the same red flags from David.

It's not personal, it's just that a little minnow like me has an unbelievable amount of stuff to get done -- both valuable important stuff and the whirlwind of calls, texts, emails, scams, Google ad words salespeople, newbie wholesalers building buyers lists, etc. 

Lots of scam artists operate on CL but it seems like as long as you go through a reputable title company should have nothing really to worry about.

It is a scam. a farce.

Or is this a scam?

If someone called me saying they were an agent, I'd just assume it was a scam since they didn't call CSS directly to set up an appointment to see the property.

Too bad there are so many scams built around this strategy, that's where I caution others.Joel, you have a great plan as well, it's smart to build your business around 2 or 3 main themes to address business cycles in RE.Build a business, not a job!

One might think "who cares, exposing the home to as many buyers as possible will increase my price as a seller," but many realtors are scam-artists and care more about getting paid faster than they care about another $10,000 in sales price (net ~$150 to the realtor - this was discussed in the book Freakanomics btw).

@Patrick Shawn Faherty be careful shopping around in too many markets - you leave yourself open to being scammed by a TK provider telling you this is a "great part of town."
