🏠 How to Spot a Rental Scam

Scammers often steal photos from real estate listings and advertise homes as rentals.

🚩 Red Flags:
• The home is listed for sale but someone offers it for rent
• They won’t meet in person or show the property
• They ask for deposits via Cash App, Zelle, wire transfer, or gift cards
• Prices seem unusually low
• Communication stays in DMs or texting only

✅ Always verify listings with a licensed local realtor
✅ Never send money without seeing the property
When in doubt, pause and verify.

Please note that the Calhoun County Land Bank Authority will be closed on Friday, April 3, 2026, as County and Court offices recognize Good Friday.

We look forward to serving you upon our return on Monday, April 6, 2026.

If you see our property listed as a rental by anyone other than our licensed realtor, it is a scam.

✅ We never collect deposits through social media or messaging apps
✅ All legitimate transactions go through our realtor

If you’re unsure, contact us directly before sending money or personal information.
Please help protect others by reporting suspicious listings.
