5 Tips to Protect Yourself

By November 4, 2021May 10th, 2022One Comment
  1. Always carefully examine the email address from which you receive updates on your transaction from your real estate agent, escrow officer or settlement agent to verify it is correct. If an email seems suspicious, notify your real estate or settlement agent immediately.
  2. Call instead of email. Use the phone number on the company’s official website or business card. Don’t trust the phone number included in the email.
  3. Be suspicions of any requested change to wiring instructions. It’s highly unusual for your title or escrow company to request any last-minute changes.
  4. Confirm the account information before sending a wire. Ask your bank to verify the account information before sending a wire.  
  5. Verify funds immediately. Call your title or escrow company to verify the funds have been received.
