Today's message from our Daytona Beach Area Association of REALTORS!
The Port Orange Police Department wished to notify our citizens about a scam involving houses being falsely advertised for rent on Craigslist. It appears the criminal has found houses for sale on-line or snowbird residences and copied the information onto a Craigslist ad claiming it up for rent.
The criminal claims to have moved to West Africa after winning a petroleum land bid and after much consideration decided to rent out the house instead of selling it. The e- mail states that they are looking for someone who cares about the house as much as they do. At the bottom of the e-mail there is a questionnaire for the potential renter asking the Full Name, DOB, Occupation, Number of People living in the house, etc.
The catch is that the security deposit and rent money need to be sent to Africa and then the "home owner" will send the keys to the renter. The e-mails are coming from an account set up in the real homeowner’s name. This especially should be of interest to our "Snowbird" citizens.
Please make your friends and neighbors aware of this scam that is sweeping across Florida. Real homeowners are checking on their properties and finding them occupied without their knowledge.
In truth it really doesn't surprise me...ever put your services on Craigslist?..spammerama...scammerama..a service that once proved very effective is just another grabber of unsuspected victims!

Susan Southerland-Luta and myself presented a class to Embry Riddle University Students in March...it was a class of engineers. While preparing for our presentation which was a class for the students to graduate we learned a couple of things and hopefully by sharing it might be useful when working with first time home buyers!
Realize we did keep in mind the students were engineers..and maybe we assumed they knew more than they did.
I can tell you for 20 minutes...we presented and then the questions began..
Remember a First Time Home Buyer is a First Time Home Buyer!
By the time we were done...the instructor stated...they could have spent days with us!
A few helpful tips when talking with first time home buyers
We did point out that buyer's today can be more informed than ever....request a consultation because as a buyer they deserve it!
I admit they loved my business cards! Could it be that some of my social networks were provided?
Oh, and if you think they are not watching agents interact on places such as twitter, facebook and youtube.
Guess what you are wrong!
After we completed our presentation it almost felt like we did a group buyer's consultation and in reality all buyers deserve just that!
One thing I have found regardless of what your role is in real estate...it's our job to educate home buyers and while most instances I train real estate to real estate professionals...sitting with a buyer or seller we train them too!
