Two woman, one who lives at least part time in East Hampton, were nabbed after pulling off a series of thefts at open houses in Manhattan. Congrats to Doug Heddings, from TRUE GOTHAM for getting on the case early and publicizing the scam.

Open houses, while providing agents and buyers with an opportunity to network also are risky for the home-owner as this post demonstrates. Real estate agents can try to arrange and assist the home-owners with security measures. It helps in establishing credibility and can turn out to be a good investment for the real estate agent.

Wow, are we really going to have to screen our clients/buyers in the future.

The agents are there to screen the customers I dont like the open house idea to many time wasters.
