Apartment sellers may be offered to undergo polygraphy after the Valley scandal

Realtor Alina Pravotorina said that apartment sellers should prepare for stricter checks, including passing a polygraph. This trend has formed in the secondary housing market after the story of fraud around Larisa Dolina's apartment.

In conversation with aif.ru On Wednesday, December 3, the expert noted that she herself had not yet encountered such a thing, but such measures were already being discussed in the professional environment, and in the current conditions they would not surprise anyone due to the many alarming cases on the market.

According to Pravotorina, realtors often have to deal with situations where additional security measures are needed to protect citizens from fraudsters. She gave the example of an elderly woman who sold an apartment through a realtor and, despite the agency's wariness, assured everyone that she was acting in her best interests.

Even after she was invited to interviews twice, first to the police, then to the bank, the woman insisted that she was in control of everything. As a result, having received a large sum of cash, she nevertheless handed over the money to the scammers, being sure that she was "performing an important task."

Pravotorina added that such stories only confirm the need for stricter checks and enhanced protection of sellers from criminal schemes.
