Good Morning,

We have received two reports of two men going to a listed home asking the
homeowner to allow them to see the home.  They will claim they could not
reach the listing agent or that the property is not in the MLS.  In both
cases these statements were not true!  They did not try to reach the agent
and the property is in the MLS.

We have learned that one of the men is a RealtorR from North Carolina and
his name is Matt Dennehy and they are in a newer Mercedes (white in color).

This provides an opportunity to remind your sellers that, for their personal
safety, they should not allow anyone inside their home without the listing
agent's approval/notice.  They can simply ask the person to wait outside
while they contact their listing agent.  No possible sale is worth risking
personal safety or loss of personal property.

Thank you,

Victor
