🏡 Think those online listings tell the whole story? Think again! 😠 A recent Boston Globe Media article exposed some shocking truths about misleading real estate listings – from fudged photos to flat-out fibs about location and features. BBB urges all home buyers to be extra vigilant! Here's the deal: 🏠 Don't skip the showing! No matter how amazing the photos look, ALWAYS visit the property in person. 🏠 Read between the lines. Watch out for vague language or acronyms like "BATVAI" (buyer's agent to verify all information) that might signal the agent is trying to avoid responsibility. 🏠 Do your research. Check out the agent and the property thoroughly. 🏠 Consider using a BBB Accredited realtor for added peace of mind.
