Top Real Estate Scams and How to Avoid Them

Beyond avoiding scams, families have broader concerns when relocating or purchasing a home. Here’s how to safeguard those essential factors:

  • School quality: Research local school ratings and class sizes via school district websites and parent forums. Avoid agents who make vague claims; insist on up‑to‑date performance data.

  • Parks and community: Visit the local park, playground, or recreation center. Talk to neighbors about community events or after‑school programs that support kids.

  • Safety first: Review local crime stats. Walk the neighborhood at different times of day to feel its safety and atmosphere.

  • Housing options: Families often need varied options—yards, multi-bedroom layouts, multi‑generational spaces. Use your Realtor to filter listings accordingly.

  • Ongoing community: Look for active neighborhood groups, calendar events, or social media pages—it helps integrate the family quickly.
