Become the fraud expert in your market.

What is the HFDCP™ designation?

The Home Fraud Defense Certified Professional (HFDCP™) designation identifies real estate professionals who have completed advanced training in recognizing home and real estate fraud.

What are HFDCP™ designees trained to do?

Designees are trained to recognize common and emerging fraud schemes, guide consumers on preventative best practices, and reduce risk through awareness, documentation, and proper reporting.

What does the HFDCP™ signal to clients and colleagues?

It signals three things: credibility, professionalism, and a higher standard of fraud awareness — letting clients know their professional takes fraud seriously.

Who should pursue the HFDCP™?

Any real estate professional who works directly with buyers, sellers, investors, or homeowners and wants to stand out as a trusted resource in an area most agents overlook entirely.

Is this just another designation?

No. Most real estate designations focus on sales skills or market knowledge. The HFDCP™ is purpose-built around fraud prevention — an area of growing concern that directly affects your clients' most significant financial transaction.

What gives the HFDCP™ its authority?

The HFDCP™ designation is conferred by HomeFraudDefense.org — the organization purpose-built for real estate fraud prevention education. The qualifying coursework is completed through our ADRE-approved real estate school.

Can I upgrade from Designation to Instructor later?

Yes. You pay only the difference between tiers when you upgrade. Your certification history, directory listing, and member access carry over completely at no additional cost.

Does brokerage team pricing exist?

Yes. Bulk enrollment pricing is available for brokerages of 5 or more agents. Contact us for team pricing — includes a shared compliance dashboard and E&O documentation for your office.
