⚠️ Fraud Alert: Land Sale Scams on the Rise

Real estate professionals and property owners are being urged to stay vigilant as fraudulent scammers are increasingly posing as landowners to illegally list and attempt to sell vacant land using another person’s identity.

These scammers often target vacant or unmonitored parcels, impersonate the true owner, and pressure agents or buyers for quick, remote transactions. Always verify ownership through official records, confirm seller identity with proper documentation, and be cautious of requests for rushed closings or unusual communication methods.

If you own vacant land, consider monitoring your property records regularly.
