Always assume surveillance!
Behave in listings.
Limit verbal communications on listed property. Text confidential information such as how much the buyer would pay for the property or derogatory comments about the property or the sellers or listing agent rather than stating aloud where verbal communications might be listened to by the seller side.
Sellers get legal counsel on risks from eavesdropping, wire intercept, and peeping Tom – voyeur criminal laws. Potential risk management considerations: Disclosing surveillance including site signage, avoid microphones on the property and avoid cameras in privacy areas (e.g., bathroom, restroom).
