HOME TIP OF THE WEEK~
SCAM ALERT! Protect Your Property - Especially if you own Land!!!
Please Read They almost got us!
You have probably seen the commercials on TV for Real Estate Title Theft Insurance.
Unfortunately It is real and happening here in MA & RI . As Realtors, We have been contacted by scammers twice to sell land in Westport.
They claim to own land, give fake names (they look up the records ) and fake emails. They say they want to sell the land really quick.
Luckily, We were onto them when there were too many red flags.
You can sign up for a FREE service at the Registry of Deeds to protect you and your family, its called
Property Fraud Alert
In an effort to reduce the risk of real estate fraud, The Bristol County South Registry of Deeds has partnered with AIT LLC to provide a free Property Fraud Alert. I signed up my property it was pretty easy and did not take that long.
Tip: Check your tax bill it will have the exact name your property is Recorded in at the Registry of Deeds.
Property Fraud Alert is an electronic notification service that alerts a subscriber via email every time a land records document is recorded with a requested name in a participating County Land Records Office. The Property Fraud Alert Service is offered at no charge to the public.
Here is the link to the New Bedford Registry of Deeds that serves
Westport, Dartmouth, Fairhaven, New Bedford and Acushnet.

Martha Stewart Says to Replace This Kitchen Essential Every Week - CAN YOU GUESS?
- - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
According to Stewart, "sponges can harbor more bacteria than dishcloths because they're thicker, dry more slowly, and have lots of holes that can trap small food particles." For that reason, Martha prefers using dishcloths to wash and dry dishes, wipe down countertops, and tidy up other kitchen surfaces.
Here's the entire article here https://www.foodandwine.com/kitchen-tool-replace-every-week-martha-stewart-8771443?hid=441591aca5563bc847e5be698ff50d84cf39e78b&did=17113467-20250402&utm_campaign=faw-the-dish_newsletter&utm_source=faw&utm_medium=email&utm_content=040225&lctg=441591aca5563bc847e5be698ff50d84cf39e78b
