Scams are getting smarter, faster, and far more convincing in 2026. Some of them sound exactly like real buyers… until it’s too late.

In this episode of Talking Realty, Glen breaks down the 3 most dangerous scams currently targeting home sellers and shows you exactly how to shut each one down before it costs you thousands (or worse).

Glen has helped over 2,500 sellers successfully close their homes, and these scams are showing up more often than ever. If you’re selling or planning to sell your home in 2026 this is a must-watch episode.

You’ll learn:

  • How fake “relocating buyers” use polished messages and Zoom requests to trap sellers
  • The deadly overpayment scam targeting For Sale By Owner
  • The wire fraud scam that steals nearly $1 billion a year from sellers at closing
  • How to protect your money, your identity, and your sale from start to finish

Most of these scams are 100% preventable, but only if you know what to look for before you engage. Watch until the end for Glen’s 3 rules that eliminate 99% of seller scam risk.
