Craigstlist Scam
We're hearing about an increase in the number of real estate scams posted on Craigslist. While there is no way to stop the postings, you can be alerted if one of them is your property by setting up Google alerts. One suggestion we've seen is to set up multiple alerts for the same property: (1) Property address (2) MLS # (3) property address with ML #.
Google alerts can be setup by going to www.google.com/alerts.
Happy 4th of July!
RealSource would like to wish you a safe and happy 4th of July! The RealSource office will be closed on Wednesday, July 4 and will reopen on Thursday, July 5. Watch the sky light up with Fourth of July fireworks and celebrations across North Jersey.
