Check Your Realtor's Status First

When you are in search for a Realtor make sure they are who they say they are. I've gotten a lot of complaints about people who have misrepresented Realtors by using our title to either sell or rent properties that they have no rights to. Please do not give money to anyone before you verify these step:

1. That they have a valid New York State License- you can check on the NY Department of State (DOS) site via Real Estate Licenses

2. If they are an Agent that they are being monitor by Licensed Real Estate Broker who you can also check on the DOS website.

3. They show you their Pocket Card which is a snapshot of their License- it looks like a Drivers License Card with a photo on it.

4. If your still in doubt just move on to another Realtor. They are many of us out there, just make sure you ask questions and verify who they are.

5. Finally please do not give any money unless you are signing a contract of sale ( which should go to an attorney's escrow account) or a lease for rent (which also should go into the Broker's business account until transaction is over then the money is turn over to the Landlord).

Call me if you have any further questions about Real Estate.
