Sedona AZ (July 22, 2016) – Several incidents have occurred in the Prescott Valley, Arizona, area where unidentified suspects have targeted homes with “For Sale by Owner” signs posted on the property. The suspects gain entry by contacting the owners and saying they are interested in the home. While one suspect distracts the homeowner in conversation, another suspect wanders through the home. When the suspects leave, the homeowner discovers that valuables have been stolen from the home.
Witnesses have given similar descriptions in each incident. One suspect is described as a male in his mid-20s, approximately 6’2” tall, with olive complexion. A second suspect is described as a male in his mid-50s, approximately 5’10” tall, also with olive complexion. A third suspect is a female in her mid-20s, approximately 5’ tall, with a thin build and dark hair.
The vehicle described is a newer model “fire engine red” four door pickup truck, possibly a Nissan, with no body damage or other identifying characteristics.
The public is asked to notify the Prescott Valley Police Department with any information concerning these incidents, or your local law enforcement agencies if targeted in another locale.
The Prescott Valley Police Department can be contacted at 928-772-9267 for non-emergencies, 911 for emergencies and or Silent Witness at 800-932-3232.

I never go for sale by owners because they don’t know what they’re doing. It doesn’t cost a thing to go to a real estate Company if you’re buying so to let somebody in your home who’s that stupid about getting a good home isn’t worth the chance of letting them cross the threshold! This just goes to show that a seller who doesn’t have the common sense to list his property with a professional is going to get taken by an amateur.
what’s the benefit of letting a buyer in your home that the real estate agent or the a real state agent company isn’t assuming liability for the people being in there?
