Safe Selling: How to Recognize a Common Scam that Thieves Play

Predators aren't the only danger that Realtors in the field have to worry about. Sometimes, they have to worry about individuals that are a threat to the home and personal property of their sellers.

That's right, we're talking about thieves. In this week's episode of Safe Selling, learn the behaviors that thieves display and how to identify them.

Today's episode is focused on a scam called "The Couple's Play," where two thieves pose as husband and wife and separate during the tour while one a) distracts the Realtor while b) the other half of the couple cases or steals from the home.

Brokers, share the video above with your agents so they can understand:

• What the role of each person in the suspicious couple is
• How to identify a prospect who's deliberately distracting you
• How a woman playing the role of distractor talks differently to male and female agents

Stay tuned for next week when we'll learn more about dealing with thieves during a showing!
