Title theft is real — but the protection should not cost you $240 a year.
Television-advertised title-protection subscriptions warn homeowners about a real threat: criminals forging deeds and stealing the legal title to homes. The threat is genuine — the FBI documented $275 million in real estate fraud losses across 12,368 victims in 2025 alone. But the response from the industry has been to charge homeowners $19.99/month to be notified when their county recorder has a new filing — a service most U.S. county recorders already run for free. Every on-demand consumer tool on Home Fraud Defense — title search, deed search, Message Scanner, wire fraud safety steps, lien search, and Property Fraud Registry — is free for every U.S. homeowner. We do not sell ongoing monitoring. We teach you to enroll directly in your county recorder's free document-alert program, and we train HFDCP™ professionals to help you do it.
The strongest free protection is already at your county recorder.
Most U.S. county recorders run a free document-alert program that emails or texts you any time a document is recorded under a name you register. Enrollment is direct with the county. We are an ADRE-approved fraud education school — we teach homeowners to use that free program, and we train HFDCP™ professionals to help their clients locate the portal and walk through their records.
