If you do decide to sell your Home yourself ..... for the Safety of You and Your Family:
  1. Know who you are working with
  2. Make sure that some one knows what you are doing
  3. Listen to Your Gut when it tells you ..... There is Something Wrong Here !!!
  4. Have a plan or backup for When Things are Not Going Right !
                 
It is not unusual for alerts to go out to Columbia Realtors once or twice a month about people acting strangely.  The alerts give as much detail as possible and encourage Realtors to be safe and report any contact with these persons to the police ASAP.  Unfortunately there are all kinds of people out there that want to cause harm to others.
