Safety Tips

Stay safe when buying, renting, or selling property

Verify Before You Visit

Always check listing photos, ask questions via messaging, and research the neighborhood before scheduling a visit.

Meet in Public Places

For initial meetings, choose public locations. Bring a friend or family member when viewing properties for the first time.

Protect Your Information

Never share sensitive financial information like bank passwords. Use the platform's built-in messaging system.

Verify Identity

Ask for identification from agents and property owners. Verified users on 1uy have a badge on their profile.

Watch for Red Flags

Be cautious of prices significantly below market rate, pressure to pay quickly, or requests for wire transfers.

Check Documents

Before any transaction, verify property ownership documents, registration certificates, and utility bills.

Inspect the Property

Always visit the property in person. Check the condition, neighborhood, and talk to neighbors if possible.

If something feels wrong, report it using the flag icon on any listing. Our team reviews all reports within 24 hours.
