This might be the most important post I ever share - and I hope you never need it.

This might be the most important post I ever share - and I hope you never need it. Real estate wire fraud cost victims nearly $500 MILLION in 2024. That’s a 50x increase in just one decade. And it’s getting worse - scammers are now using AI to clone voices of people in your transaction. WHO’S MOST AT RISK: - First-time homebuyers are 3x more likely to be victims - Buyers under 35 are 2x more likely to be targeted - 52% of consumers don’t know about wire fraud when they start the buying process Nearly 1 in 5 title companies have accidentally sent client funds to a fraudulent account - even the professionals get tricked. That’s why I make sure every buyer knows what to look for. I talk about wire fraud with every single client before closing day. If you’re buying or selling a home, or know someone who is, please share this. It could save someone’s life savings.
