A female agent reported this week that a potential buyer called asking about seeing property in Dublin ($450,000-$650,000, new construction, with an extra lot). When a colleague did an internet search, they found an arrest record (1998 – 2907.02 – Rape Sexual Motivation, release date 2007). However, this person does not show up on the Ohio Attorney General’s official Offender Search so that information cannot be verified. Please exercise caution when dealing with new customers! An internet search may provide details you’ll want to consider when making the decision to work with someone and/or meeting them alone at a property.

Beware of suspicious caller – Dwayne Bergeman
A suspicious serial caller has targeted female agents at real estate brokerages nationwide over the past six months – specifically in Massachusetts, Arkansas, Pennsylvania, Hawaii, Louisiana, North Carolina and Arizona most recently. The caller, who has introduced himself in a deep (creepy) voice as “Dwayne Bergeman”, has stated that he is relocating from Oregon, wants to see single family homes in the higher price ranges, but will not answer simple questions. Keep in mind that he could easily change his name, number, or other details of his approach now that this “cover” has been shared as several REALTOR® associations have issued warnings to their members. All members are encouraged to exercise extreme caution if contacted by this individual. As always we urge you to never meet individuals alone at a property, especially those you are meeting for the first time, and to follow other safety protocols established by your office.

As of February 27, 2018, Realist displays public records data in all 88 Ohio counties.  Only 23 counties were previously included in Realist data. Links from the parcel number on listings in MLS go directly to the Realist detail page for all counties.  Auto-population of tax data for new MLS listings is not yet configured in the additional counties but should be completed in the coming weeks.  Reverse links to the county auditor page from the Realist detail page are not yet configured for all new counties. Some counties will not be able to be direct-linked due to limitations of the individual county auditor’s website.
