I caught a realtor showing my home to buyers but it wasn’t up for sale – I caught it all on Ring and found out why
A HOMEOWNER claims she caught a realtor showing her house to potential buyers – even though it wasn’t up for sale.
TikToker @busymomonli says she made the discovery thanks to her Ring security camera.
She shared a clip that shows a real estate agent ringing her doorbell as he waits for clients to show up.
In a voiceover, the homeowner explains that she and her husband were not home at the time, and she thought it was probably some “religious group or salesman” knocking on the door.
Once the realtor’s clients arrive, they head to the side of the house, before the homeowner sets off the alarm.
The realtor and clients are then seen returning to the front of the home.

Then, the realtor enters the house through the back door and lets the clients in through the front.
According to the homeowner, the party stayed at the home for about 20 minutes before exiting.
The homeowner said: “Now, mind you, my dog is home. Apparently not a very good guard dog, but she’s home.”
The TikTok was captioned “Had I not had a Ring camera I would never have know this happened at all!!”
A follow-up video shows police arriving at the home just as the realtor is leaving.
The homeowner added that she called the police as soon as she spotted the intruders entering her home.
The police then went inside the home to ensure nothing was stolen, and the realtor went in again to apologize.
The realtor reportedly told the homeowner he was supposed to show the house next door and that a neighbor had told him to enter through the backdoor as the owners were not home.
“I don’t believe that they were casing my house or trying to sell my house out from under me. He did seem sincere,” the homeowner shared.
No charges were pressed, as the homeowner and police agreed it was an accident.
The TikTok has been watched more than seven million times, with many commenters weighing in.
“I’m a realtor. You should sue him and file a complaint with the real estate commission! This is so illegal, he should lose his license,” read one comment.
Another added: “You need to press charges. It will not be the first nor last time this guy has done this. There is always a lockbox on houses for showings.”
