Real Estate Fraud Awareness |
|
|
A recent HousingWire article has brought to light just how prevalent real estate fraud is, even here in Iowa. These incidents remind us that fraud is evolving, and so must we.
Even experienced professionals have found themselves caught off guard by increasingly sophisticated scams. That’s not a failure- it’s a sign that our industry is changing, and we have an opportunity to grow with it.

- Update your protocols.
The tools and tactics we relied on in the past may no longer be enough. Fraudsters are using more convincing methods, and our processes need to reflect that reality. This is a chance to rethink and refine how we approach verification and communication. - Verification is Non-Negotiable.
One of the most effective ways to protect yourself and your clients is through robust identity verification. It’s not about distrust — it’s about due diligence in a changing landscape. - Report and share.
Fraud can happen to anyone. What matters is how we respond. If something feels off, speak up. Your experience could prevent the next attempt.

Adapting our processes, verifying with confidence, and addressing fraud are key to keeping Iowa’s real estate market secure and trusted.
Thank you for your commitment to excellence.
