According to the FBI, property fraud is one of the fastest growing white-collar crimes. The goal of these fraudsters is to change property ownership details in the Official Records by submitting fraudulent documents. They then seek to make money by tricking people into renting or buying the property.
While each county reviews the requirements for recording documents they have no authority to refuse a properly prepared document, even if it may be fraudulent. The best way to combat property fraud therefore is to take prompt action when it occurs.
To assist with early detection, most counties offer a Property Fraud alert. When a change in the records occurs an email alert is sent. This provides the earliest possible warning of potential fraud.
You can sign up for alerts and learn more about each county’s Property Fraud Alert service by following these links –

Just wanted to take a quick minute and thank you and your company so much for the monthly CE classes! Because of COVID other options I considered at the Realtor Assn. were all cancelled. It is so great that you have made them available online! I find Barry and Christian much more engaging than any other online course I have taken. Plus the opportunity to ask questions and hear about real situations that we might face makes it even better! Your classes have kept me on track to get my license renewed on time since you make sure the credits for classes are sent to the DBPR in a timely manner. Not only do you do a great job managing transactions - but this "value added" service to realtors is greatly appreciated.
