Decoding a Property Listing
1
The 'Verified Owner' Badge
This is our most important trust signal. It means the seller has completed our mandatory verification process. Prioritize these listings.
2
The Owner Trust Score
Click on the gauge to see a breakdown of the owner's score. It's based on factors like profile completion, phone verification, and ownership proof.
3
High-Quality Photos and Details
Genuine sellers usually provide clear, bright photos and a detailed, honest description. Be wary of listings with very few, low-quality images or generic text.
4
Price & Area Details
Look at the price and the price per square foot. Compare it with other properties in the same area. A price that is 'too good to be true' can be a red flag.
