It didn't seem right, so she researched further and found that the person who posted the listing lives in Florida and the name didn't match the property owner's name on the King County Assessor's website.
Officers later contacted the true property owner, who had nothing to do with the fraudulent listing.

Came close to happening to me re rental property in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I Checked with county for property ownership but it was listed to an HOA - apparently that is common. I attempted to send money thru PayPal but PayPal refused the transaction - they ALSO refused to tell me WHY they stopped it but in the end - it was a scam and their security systems apparently detected it. No idea why they wouldn't tell me why they refused the transaction. So in the end was happy the transaction didn't go thru BUT ..... would have liked more affirmative information from PayPal.
