Search for homes
The Department of Business and Professional Regulation has issued a warning for consumers to watch out for a home inspection scam. According to the March 24 news release:
"The Department of Business and Professional Regulation learned of a possible scam and advises Floridians to be wary of anyone who claims to be a DBPR employee and demands a payment for a “home inspection” before people can sell their homes. DBPR does not require a pre-inspection for selling homes and does not require any fee."
If you encounter anyone claiming to be an employee of DBPR demanding payment call your local law enforcement or the Attorney General Office’s fraud hotline at 1-866-966-7226.
