BEWARE OF DFW BROKERAGE SCAMS, TREC WARNS
AUSTIN (Texas Real Estate Commission) – The Texas Real Estate Commission Standards and Enforcement Services Division (TREC) has received complaints against a group of individuals and companies that have been doing business in the Dallas–Fort Worth area.
The individuals and companies named in the complaints represent themselves as real estate agents and real estate brokerage companies but do not hold Texas real estate licenses. Owners of real property, tenants, buyers and investors claim to have lost large sums of money because of the group’s schemes, which allegedly include:

Much of the solicitation of potential victims has been conducted through www.craigslist.com, according to TREC.
Before consumers give personal information, money, or financial information to a person claiming to be a real estate agent, they should verify the identity of the person and check whether that person actually holds a Texas real estate license. License information can be obtained by doing a “licensee lookup” on TREC’s website, www.trec.state.tx.us, or by calling TREC at 800-250-TREC or 512-465-3942.

If you need help or are unsure how to check the identity of an agent give us a call, 940-597-3006 United Realty of Denton
