Selling Homes that is Not Yours

[Alex Craig]

Beware if you are Selling Homes as there are individuals that will pick off your listing and post your home on Craiglist with false information and lead on individuals as if it were there own home without asking. 

Recently I caught Melodee Lucido of Bigger Pockets doing this with one of my listings.

Is there rules against this?

Hard to see what value that practice could have, apart from possibly building a list of potential buyers. It's clearly false advertising, and there are laws against that. 

I'm trying hard to image what they're thinking. Maybe it's something like....

"I know, I'll steal someone's listing that looks better than mine. When the buyers call, I'll tell them the property has been sold, but I have another one that's just as good. Once they come out to see it, they'll fall in love with my house and buy it. Yeah, that's it."

Some people are just really stupid.
