How do I know if a listing is genuine?

All listings are submitted by licensed agencies or verified private sellers. If something seems too good to be true, proceed with caution.

What are common property scams?

• Fake rental listings: Below-market rents, requesting bond before you view the property.
• Identity fraud: Requests for ID, bank details, or passport before signing any agreement.
• Upfront payment: Never pay a bond or rent before signing a formal tenancy agreement.
