Vacant Land Scam Warning

March 31, 2023

MLS PIN has been made aware of recent scams nationally and, most recently, here in MA that involve individuals contacting a real estate professional to list a vacant lot for sale. These individuals are not the owner or authority to sell said property. Most often, these situations are for vacant land or a vacant home, and the communication is via email, text, or phone call. The legal team at the Massachusetts Association of REALTORS® has shared with us essential steps that can be taken by real estate professionals for their safety and to prevent this scam from happening. Please review MAR's RECENT SCAMS WARNING blog post and view their How to Perform a Tax & Title Search video for further information on how to be diligent about legitimate leads. REALTORS® may call The MAR Legal Hotline at 800-370-5342 or email legalhotline@marealtor.com with questions or concerns.

We’ve added another time-saving improvement to Pinergy! The Photo Summary view for single-family, condominium, mobile home, and residential rental listings now includes a complete list of all rooms specified in each listing. This list appears just before the public remarks, allowing you to quickly see which rooms are included—without having to view separate detail reports for each listing in your search results. It’s a simple way to spot listings that feature a den, home office, loft, or other special rooms right from your search results.

Tapping the New button at the top of the page will start a new search, and tapping the red Beta button will show what’s in the works for future updates.

Schools are so important to many buyers. By popular request, we’ve doubled the size of the Grade School, Middle School, and High School fields for listings in Pinergy. These fields now can handle up to 30 characters each, so longer school names or multiple schools can be included when needed. Pinergy is back to school early this year!
