Staying safe on Agbor Properties Homes
A few habits that protect both buyers and sellers โ read this before you send money or hand over keys.
For buyers & renters
- Always view the property in person (or with a trusted agent) before paying anything โ photos and 360ยฐ views are a screening tool, not a substitute for a visit.
- Never send money to an account name that doesn't match the person you're chatting with. Ask for ID.
- Confirm the seller actually owns or has authority to sell/rent the property โ ask for the C of O, survey plan, or tenancy agreement.
- Use the in-app chat first so there's a written record of what was agreed.
- Be extra cautious with prices that are far below similar listings nearby.
For sellers & landlords
- Only share personal financial details with serious, verified buyers.
- Meet buyers in safe, public, or well-known locations for the first viewing.
- Use clear, honest photos โ front, back, and inside โ so only genuinely interested buyers reach out.
- Report suspicious buyer behaviour (pressure to skip viewings, requests to pay unusual fees) to our team.
