Why should I verify my identity?
Scams are a risk in all corners of our lives, and real estate is no different. If you’re a homeowner, buyer, or seller - you deserve to know that your real estate professionals are keeping you safe during a transaction. With a selfie and scan of your ID card, you can quickly complete the identity verification step that is increasingly becoming standard practice in any safe real estate transaction.
Is wire fraud really that serious?
According to 2022 FBI IC3 report, wire transfers continue to be the most frequently reported payment method for fraud with a reported aggregate loss of $446 Million and an average loss of $195k per victim.
Warning: Don’t get tricked at the last minute.
Fraudsters hack emails and impersonate your real estate agent, title company, or lender to trick you into sending funds to a fraudulent bank account. Do not trust any wiring information unless it comes through CertifID.
