Google and “If This, Then That” alerts can assist you with which of the following?

The Property Management section of the Maryland pre-licensing course teaches that licensees must monitor their listings for fraudulent online activity, such as rental scams where criminals copy legitimate ads and re-post them with false contact details.

Setting up automated alerts through tools like Google Alerts or If This, Then That (IFTTT) can help licensees detect unauthorized use of their listings or identifying information.

These monitoring tools allow quick corrective action and protect both the brokerage and the public from scams.
