According to the HAR alert, the man typically targets female agents whose photographs are featured in ads in various print publications around the greater Houston area. According to HAR, in some cases, the man also asks whether the agent has a pedicure and asks her to describe her nail polish.
Although the incidents involving this man have not escalated beyond creepy phone calls so far, this situation provides another reminder of the exposed position that real estate agents operate in and what kinds of dangers they are facing.
In January, Tampa-area police asked for help from the public to find a man accused of preying on female real estate agents by luring them to showings alone and then allegedly engaging in inappropriate conduct. And in December, a Louisiana man was arrested for cyberstalking several local Realtors. As for Houston-area Realtors and agents, they are encouraged to contact their local law enforcement if they receive a call from the man in question.
