Cybercrime is real and can happen to anyone. These 10 tips will help you and your clients stay vigilant and protect your hard-earned money.
🔒 Create a log of all approved parties' phone numbers at the start of a transaction.
🔒 Avoid using free, web-based email accounts for business communications.
🔒 Prior to closing, execute an agreement with the seller/borrower indicating the method of funds transfer: check or wire.
🔒 Remember: transactions that result in a large cash payment to a refinance borrower or seller are highly susceptible to an attack.
🔒 Question and confirm by phone with approved parties to any deviation to the funding agreement; changes are not common and may indicate fraud.
🔒 Confirm wiring instructions by phone with approved parties prior to sending.
🔒 Confirm receipt of wired funds by phone with the intended recipient.
🔒 Practice good cyber hygiene.
🔒 Slow down and stay in control; a slow, confirmed closing is still acceptable.
🔒 If you suspect fraud, act immediately; contact your bank and the appropriate authorities.

You could be the difference! Beware of last-minute changes to closing instructions. Fraudsters cause confusion and panic to convince you or your clients to go against better judgment and wire funds to undisclosed parties. In 2017 alone, consumers lost over $1 billion in real estate transaction costs to scammers.

Despite soaring mortgage rates, applications for new home purchase loans increased. Discover the market's resilience in our latest economic update.

Economic Update Q3 2023 Once again, prognostications of a recession were premature, thanks to sustained consumer spending and a residential construction rebound. Despite ongoing challenges in CRE, the market showed signs of thawing, bolstered by loan modifications and growth in several sectors.

Practicing cyber hygiene keeps sensitive data secure and protected from theft or attacks. As with personal hygiene, you need to practice cyber hygiene regularly for it to be effective. Stay ahead of the latest cyber-threats by using strong passwords, keeping systems up to date and utilizing comprehensive antivirus software.
