There are many scams in the world of real estate. If you don’t know what to look for, you could lose out big time. Today I will go over what you need to know.
One of my past clients received a scam letter in the mail the other day. The letter was something that was pulled straight out of the public record, asking my client to pay for the validation of some information on their property and to pay for records from closing their property.
I can tell you that the title companies and vendors that we use are never going to charge you for that information. If you get a letter like this, it is a scam letter. Make sure you either call me or the title company to ask them if this is something that is necessary for you to pay.

The letter my client received looks extremely official. It is called “Records Recovery Services,” and they are located near Jefferson City. It has the actual client’s name in front of the address of the property they bought, the date they bought it, the parcel number, the square footage, and the assessed value. It has all the information on it for it to seem official, but I assure you it isn’t. As I said, everything on there is a matter of public record.
