Be an informed consumer when it comes to services for your home.
Unfortunately, homeowners are often targeted by scammers offering “quick fixes” that turn into shady home repairs, fraudulent reverse mortgages, property-tax refund schemes, title fraud or fake rental listings.
To help protect yourself or friends and family members from housing-related scams, here are a few tips:
- Research common scams and warning signs.
- Verify lenders, contractors, and property managers through trusted sources.
- Be cautious of unsolicited offers, whether by phone, mail, or in person.
- Take your time with any financial or housing decision—avoid pressure tactics.
- Keep mortgage documents, deeds, and sensitive financial information safe.
