Myriam Hetjonk: Thee is nothing about that which is legit. This is a long running scamAny landlord who is overseas would have a local real estate agent, property manager, friend or family member showing the property AND running a credit check on you before renting the place to youIf they have an agent then you would not be speaking directly to them anyway - it would all go through the agentYour county records department will have a record of the real owners of that property. Depending where you live it can be free or up to $15 to run a title search, but that's cheaper than potentially sending hundreds of dollars to some scammer in Africa or Eastern Europe Also save the pictures of the house as jpegs, then look them up on both http://www.tineye.com/ AND http://images.google.com/ (click on the camera icon in the search box, then Upload an Image) -- this will show if those same pictures have been posted on another website. Normally with these scams, the pictures are stolen o! ff a legitimate agent's websiteI would also go by the place one evening and if there are lights on, ring the bell and speak to whoever is living there. If there is nobody there, then ring the neighbor's bells and ask them who owns the place and if the owners are really in whatever country they told you But you would be crazy to even consider renting anywhere that you have not seen inside and out AND verified the actual owner's name...Show more
Rosella Figliola: there are a lot of scams around where people claim they are out of the country. Be careful, this could be a scam.If they have an agent, why would they need to figure out how to handle keys/documents? That agent would already have the keys, and you'd just meet the agent at the place to have a look inside....Show more
Lenard Ginyard: How about if they say "they have been ripped off by their Realtor before that is why they want me to call them directly if I am interested in their house?"I am just not sure. W! hen it's too good to be true I suppose it really is:/
La! shawn Zabarkes: It is 1000% a rip-off - I heard precisely the equal story from 3 exclusive folks once I used to be trying to find my final position. Do not respond to those people or send any cash or your deal with. These are Nigerian scammers If you wish to have more proof, get the special tackle of the property and verify together with your county's property files - it will have to only cost $5-10 to tug the documents on a specified property. You'll be able to see the identify of the individual on the deed just isn't the equal because the person emailing you Or for free, just go to that deal with and ring the doorbell - and seem at the identify on the mailbox or any mail within the mailbox. If there is no reply, ring the subsequent door neighbor's door and ask who lives there and if they moved to Africa. One poster right here last week mentioned he had humans coming to his door seeking to transfer in considering that a scammer had accumulated money from several distinctiv! e people - and the real property proprietor had no proposal why his tackle used to be even used. No one moves to yet another nation and rents their situation to entire strangers over the web. If he particularly desired to rent out his situation, he would call any regional actual estate agent and have them handle it - or would ask a pal or neighbor to hire it for him...Show more

Margart Stimpert: most out of area owners that want to rent their house out have a local property manager that keeps and eye on the house collects the rent schedules repairs etc. Ask for the name of that person and then contact him or her
Gertrude Darke: Sounds entirely like a scam to me. You should be going through a local real estate agent anyway. Theirs or yours. That person knows the local market.You will be on a mailing list for years to come as someone who fell for this.It is! pure nonsense that they "have been ripped off by their realtor before.!
