Sharing your exact address publicly on Facebook Marketplace can be risky. Here’s a breakdown of why it’s best to avoid it and alternative approaches:
- Security Concerns: Anyone browsing Facebook Marketplace could see your address, potentially including individuals with malicious intent.
- Unwanted Contact: Publicly listed addresses invite unwanted contact, both online and potentially in person.
Alternatives to Sharing Your Address:
- General Location: Describe your land’s location generally, like “located near city limits” or “minutes from major highway access.”
- Private Sharing: Offer to share your address privately only with serious inquiries who have expressed genuine interest in purchasing your land. This allows you to pre-screen potential buyers before revealing your exact location.
- Meeting Location: Arrange to meet potential buyers at a neutral public location close to the land for initial viewings. This provides a layer of safety during the initial interaction.
