Buyer Beward

Real estate is starting to heat up which is fantastic, however, BUYERS beware! I have noticed in the last few months a lot of LLC real estate investment companies. Buy here, pay here type real estate programs, get rich quick homes for sale, easy owner finance, and some of those hand written signs on the corner of the road. WATCH OUT
We also work with and around a lot of investors including out country investors that are sending in lot of money in the Houston market to buy real estate. When there is a lot of money flow, it brings out the scammers. I witnessed that in the real estate market in Florida, greed from all sides of the real estate transaction and it scammed a lot of consumers. There were a lot sharks with VCR tapes, cassettes, signs and living on yachts making money in real estate.
So, if you are looking to buy or sell real estate, use a REALTOR or at least look for the REALTOR logo in the ads for home buying or selling services. Code of ethics and relationship. Google 'why use a Realtor in Texas' and that should work for your question, everything is true on the internet :)
Best wishes and watch out for the sharks.
