They cant fine you for not taking stuff down when it sells/leases or expires nor do they have any real ability to moniter that.\n\nVerifying their listings every so often is how they keep it from turning into those other garbage sites where 80% of whats up is 3 years out of date and a waste of time.\n\nAlso this is how they get their verified sales comps which are of value to them since they sell them on costar", "replies": [], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}, {"id": "fhm9blw", "text": "if you don't verify every 45 days or something like that they will mark your listing as inactive.

That doesn't sound like he is pretending to be a buyer, my take is that he as a vendor's representative / salesperson is simply trying to reach the property owner since you yourself said you never pick up. Surely them reaching out is part of the T&amp;C. If you have had the listing for a long time, they may be trying reach you simply because it is a stale listing. \n\nThat being said, are you on a Loopnet subscription or are you on the free site? He may be trying to up your visibility with a subscription or a higher tier subscription which reaches more customers. A serious buyer will have the subscription as they can see more properties, a serious seller with have the subscription to reach more potential buyers.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
