Home fraud is the fastest-growing crime in real estate. Deed theft, wire fraud, and title scams are targeting homeowners and transactions across the country every day — and most victims don't find out until it's too late.

Whether you're a homeowner who wants peace of mind or a real estate professional looking to protect your clients, Home Fraud Defense™ gives you the tools, the training, and the early warning system you need.

Real Estate Fraud vs Bank Robberies

Real Estate Fraud Occurs 5X More Than Bank Robberies.

“In 2023, the IC3 recorded 9,521 complaints in the real-estate fraud category (which includes title theft). Meanwhile, the average cost of a fraud & forgery claim in the title industry is over $143,000.

By contrast, in 2019 U.S. bank robberies averaged only about $4,200 per incident with an estimated 1500 to 2000 offenses per year.

Yet title-fraud receives far less public attention even though the financial stakes are much higher.”

All homeowners need to register with your local county for the title alert notification system.

The first step is to register with your local county so that you will receive notice of any documents recorded with your name on them. If you have older parents, be sure to register their names as well. Title theft targets older homeowners with high equity or no mortgage at all. Vacant homes are most susceptible, so make sure to watch for the warning signs.
