HOW AGENTS GET EXPOSED

Three ways fraud becomes your problem

You didn't create the fraud. But you're standing next to it when it lands.

DEED FRAUD

You took the listing. The previous owner was a fraud victim.

A forged deed filed years earlier surfaces post-closing. You didn't cause it — but you're in the middle of the dispute. A registry check before signing the listing agreement would have flagged it.

WIRE REDIRECT FRAUD

Your client wired $87,000 to the wrong account.

A buyer receives “updated” wire instructions by email days before closing. The domain is spoofed. Funds go overseas. You didn't send the email — but you’re named in the lawsuit.

SELLER IMPERSONATION

The seller doesn’t actually own the property.

You market the listing for three weeks. The real owner — living out of state — contacts the brokerage. The “seller” used stolen identity documents. Your license and E&O are now in question.

WHAT YOU DO WITH HFD

Four steps that protect your license and your clients

Screen every listing before you take it

Run a fraud check on any address before signing the listing agreement. See deed fraud flags, prior fraud activity, and registry alerts instantly.

Protect your buyers before closing

Check every purchase-side property for fraud history so your client knows what you know — before they commit.

Document your due diligence

Searches made while signed in are logged to your account record. If a fraud claim arises, your search history proves you checked — protecting your license and E&O.

Report fraud to the national registry

HFDCP™ members can submit fraud incidents directly to the registry — protecting other agents, buyers, and title companies from the same actor.
