Alas, here we are. Although the leaves are falling off the trees and we've started grabbing that extra layer before heading out, the real estate market is still rolling along nicely. Today I want to chat a bit about "showing" safety. I'm baffled at the creativity and sheer volume of scams and scammers out there today. Why they don't just get a real job and leave us all alone is beyond me. Let's dig in and think safety.

I don't know if you have ever tried to sell something through an online marketplace. Wether it is Facebook or Craigslist, they both have a decent reach and your item gets in front of lots of eyeballs. Personally, I have found that 99% of the responses I get are moron scammers trying to get my personal information (or something like that). Honestly, I have no idea what their motivations are. I just know they are scum. When you throw a "For Sale" sign on your front lawn, you are (unfortunately) inviting those same scum to try their nefarious scams on you as well.
