Common conclusions
You should conduct a thorough investigation about the property you are buying to prevent inadequate disclosures.
Don’t be content with what you have seen. Always double-check everything, including the link where you found the property, email offers, necessary documents, and the like.
Don’t give out your personal information easily without checking if a specific email or seller is legitimate. Do not entertain emails or phone calls that ask for your password or PIN. Do not transfer direct money online and, as much as possible, meet the seller for a good agreement.
No one should be pressuring you to make urgent decisions. Be wary when a seller rushes you to buy and provide payment for the property. There’s a high chance it’s a scam if he’s not discussing details for you in a decent period.
Avoid sending documents and other confidential papers via email as it can be less secure. Try sending it through a transaction management system to ensure any sensitive information it contains is safe and secure.
It is essential to watch and observe the seller every time he gives out a new document or opens up about specific changes. If the information handed down to you is suspicious, you should double-check for possible fraud.
If you are planning to buy online, make sure your browsing site is secure. Fake sellers sometimes make offers that are too good to be true. The next thing to consider is to check the address and phone numbers if it’s legit. Also, be mindful of the misspelled words and bad grammar.
If you are doing personal and actual transactions, make sure you have thoroughly checked all the documents given to you. Personally examine the property if what has been discussed reflects on it. Much better if you accept referrals from a friend or a trusted person.
