FAQs for Sellers
In most real estate markets within the United States, a Title Company can handle every aspect of a real estate transaction. However, many customers hire a Real Estate Attorney to protect their interests throughout the real estate transaction. A lawyer can act as an escrow agent for down payments, evaluate any complicated offers from potential buyers, and handle closings. When selecting an attorney, choose one who specializes in real estate transactions, and don't be afraid to shop around for competitive rates.

FAQs for Photos
Your main photo is the most important of all of your photos and may even be the most important part of your listing! This photo will be the very first photo on your listing and other marketing material associated with promoting your property.
In general, you want to make sure to use a photo that makes potential buyers want to see more. When selecting a photo to use as your main photo, it is best to use a picture of the front of the home or property. Pick a photo that shows off the landscaping and other "curb-side" selling points. Most people will be drawn in by an "inviting" photo; one that is taken during the daytime and looks like a nice, clean place. If you are selling a Vacation Property, you may want to choose a photo that shows off the property's main feature, such as an ocean or lake view from the property. The goal is to entice potential buyers to read more about your property and click through your additional photos.

Spotting A Scam
Fraud & Scam Awareness
Unfortunately, there are people that will use internet sites to run all manner of scams on users. We do all that we can to prevent the willful misuse of our platform, however; every day, the scams get more and more sophisticated. We ask that our users be cognizant of the risk and review the following basic ways to recognize and avoid being scammed.Recognizing and Avoiding Scams:
Use secure, traceable transactions when making payments - Do not pay a deposit by wire transfer, prepaid money card, gift card, or other non-traditional payment method. Also, refuse to make "overpayments" and never enter into "handshake" deals without a contract
Don't accept suspect cashier/certified checks or money orders - Banks will process and cash the fakes, then hold you responsible
Never give out financial or personally identifiable information - This includes banking and credit card information, your birthdate, Social Security/Social Insurance Numbers, PayPal account etc
Suspicious communications - Watch for parties communicating using poor grammar, spelling or those who send nonsensical messages. Be wary of parties that are only willing to text/email and those that will never speak on the phone or that refuse to meet in person. Generally these people will claim to be “travelling” and unavailable to talk or located in a foreign country and unable to speak other than via text or email
Deals Too Good to be True - If the list price is obviously too low, or the terms are too generous as compared to the market, it’s likely a scam
Don’t be pressured to act immediately - Scammers typically try to make you think a listing is in high demand in order to push you into immediate action without consulting family, friends, or financial advisors. Say no to high pressure sales tactics.
