Protecting Your Home from Title Theft: What Every Homeowner Needs to Know
Title theft, also known as home title fraud, is a serious crime where scammers fraudulently take ownership of a property by stealing the legal title. While not as common as other forms of identity theft, it is a legitimate threat that homeowners should be aware of. Understanding how title theft occurs and taking steps to protect yourself can help safeguard your home and financial well-being. How Title Theft Happens Criminals often use forged documents or stolen identities to transfer a property’s title into their name. Once they gain control of the title, they may attempt to sell the home to an unsuspecting buyer or take out loans against the property’s value. Many victims remain unaware of the fraud until they receive foreclosure notices or a new “owner” tries to take possession of their home. Why Title Theft is a Major Concern If your home title is stolen, you could unknowingly lose ownership of your property. Since real estate transactions often involve large sums of money, scammers can quickly profit from fraudulent sales or mortgages, leaving the rightful homeowner in a difficult legal battle to reclaim their property. The process of reversing title fraud can be complex and costly, making prevention critical. How to Protect Yourself from Title Theft Fortunately, there are several proactive steps homeowners can take to reduce their risk: Monitor Your Credit Report Regularly: Identity thieves often target homeowners by first stealing their personal information. Regularly reviewing your credit report can help identify unauthorized activity, such as unexpected loans or inquiries related to your property. Review Your Property Tax Bills: Ensure your property tax statements are being sent to the correct address and look for any unexpected changes. A sudden change in ownership or missing tax bills could indicate fraudulent activity. Check Public Property Records: Many county offices provide online access to property records. Periodically reviewing your title information can help ensure that no unauthorized transfers have taken place. Consider Title Insurance: Title insurance policies can provide coverage for legal costs associated with recovering your property in the event of fraud. Some insurance companies offer enhanced protection plans specifically for title theft. Set Up Alerts with Your County Recorder’s Office: Some local governments offer alert services that notify homeowners of any changes to their property records. Signing up for these alerts can help detect fraudulent transactions early. What to Do If You Become a Victim If you suspect that your home title has been stolen, act quickly by taking the following steps: Contact the Authorities: Report the fraud to your local law enforcement agency and file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Notify Your County Recorder’s Office: Alert the office that handles property records in your area so they can flag your title and prevent further fraudulent activity. Consult a Real Estate Attorney: Legal action may be necessary to reclaim your property. An experienced attorney can guide you through the process of reversing fraudulent transfers. Inform Your Mortgage Lender: If your home has an existing mortgage, notify your lender about the fraud to prevent unauthorized loans from being issued. Stay Vigilant and Protect Your Investment Your home is likely one of your most valuable assets, making it essential to take steps to protect it from title theft. By staying informed, monitoring your records, and utilizing available protections like title insurance, you can reduce the risk of falling victim to this growing crime. If you have any questions about title security or real estate transactions, feel free to reach out to Salmon Real Estate. We are here to help yo
Read MoreWhat Is a Buyer’s Agent? A Trusted Guide Who’ll Help You Find a Home
Ready to house hunt? It’s a jungle out there: Prepare for a flurry of paperwork, stampedes of buyers competing for the same digs, and other challenges before you get your hands on those house keys. We won’t lie: The process can be complex and stressful—especially if you are a first-time buyer. Having a real estate pro by your side can make all the difference. You might have heard of buyer’s agents, selling agents, listing agents, and so on. You’re a buyer, so what is a buyer’s agent? True to their name, buyer’s agents are ethically obligated to work in a buyer’s best interest. They help real estate buyers navigate the real estate market and can also save you tons of time on the road to your new home. Recently, the National Association of REALTORS® reached a settlement that went into effect on Aug. 17, 2024. The settlement includes several changes between the agent and buyer relationship that benefit homebuyers. Here’s how a real estate buyer’s agent can help you in your home search, and how to find the right one for you. Benefits of using a buyer’s agent “A buyer’s agent will guide you through the homebuying transaction and be at your disposal for any questions or concerns,” says Shane Wilcox, a real estate professional with Partners Trust. Here are some of the things a buyer’s agent can do: Find the right property After determining what the clients are looking for and what they can afford, the agent will schedule appointments to tour homes that fit the bill. The agent can also explain the pros and cons of various properties and neighborhoods to help buyers decide which home is right for them. Negotiate the offer The buyer’s agent will advise clients on an appropriate price to offer and present it to the seller’s agent. “Then they will negotiate on your behalf and write up the contracts for you,” says Matt Laricy, a real estate professional with Americorp Real Estate in Chicago. The agent’s experience in negotiating deals can save you money and help you avoid pitfalls like a fixer-upper that’s more trouble than it’s worth. Recommend other professionals A buyer’s agent should also be able to refer you to reliable mortgage brokers, real estate attorneys, home inspectors, movers, and other real estate professionals. This can also help expedite each step of the process and move you to a successful real estate sale all the faster. Help overcome setbacks If the home inspector’s report or appraisal uncovers new issues, a buyer’s agent can advise you on how to proceed with the transaction and act as a buffer between you and the sellers or their broker. If negotiations become heated or hostile, it’s extremely helpful to have an experienced professional keep calm and offer productive solutions. Buyer’s agent vs. listing agent: What’s the difference? Buyer’s agents are legally bound to help buyers, whereas listing agents—the real estate agent representing the home listing—have a fiduciary duty to the home seller. “That’s why it’s in your best interest as a buyer to get an agent who is there to represent you,” explains Alex Cortez, a real estate professional with Wailea Village Properties in Kihei, HI. “Think about it this way: If you were getting sued, would you hire the same attorney as the person suing you? Of course not. You need someone who will diligently fight for your interests and rights.” Let’s say, for instance, you walked up to the listing agent at an open house. You might gush about how you love the home and want to buy it. You may then unwittingly add that you will need to move soon—because you’re expecting your second child and need to decorate the nursery pronto or because the lease on your rental is up in a couple of months. A seller’s agent could then use this information against you by informing the sellers that your clock is ticking, so they shouldn’t budge too much on their asking price—if at all. Yet make this same confession to the buyer’s agent you’re working with. This professional would know to keep this information private from sellers (and their agents) so it can’t be used in negotiations. Some states, recognizing this problem, required a disclosure of dual agency when a broker represents both sides of a real estate transaction. In some states, dual agency is illegal. However, you may still not be comfortable after signing an agreement saying you know someone is a dual agent. You might want to hire an agent who is not representing the owner, and who is looking out for your best interests. How to find a buyer’s agent A good buyer’s agent can ease the path to homeownership, while a bad one can result in a bumpy ride. Here are some questions to ask to help you find the right one. “What neighborhoods do you specialize in?” Real estate requires local expertise, so you should find an agent who’s extremely familiar with the areas you’re interested in. “What’s your schedule and availability?” Committed part-time real estate agents can do a fine job, but if the house of your dreams pops up or you encounter last-minute closing snafus, you want an agent who is readily reachable. “How long have you been a real estate agent?” You ideally want someone with a couple of years of experience and a proven track record of selling homes. To find real estate agents in your area, head to realtor.com/realestateagents, where you can also read online reviews provided by past clients and learn more. The agent/buyer contract Once you agree to work with someone, you will have to sign a contract before touring a home in person or virtually, outlining the agent’s services and compensation (more on that next). However, you do not need a written agreement if you are simply interviewing an agent or talking at an open house. This contract also means that this person will be your sole representative and that you won’t work with other buyer’s agents.In general, the contract should outline the negotiated terms, detailing the services provided and their cost. According to the settlement for the NAR, the contract should also include these things before you sign it. 1. A specific and conspicuous disclosure of the amount or rate of compensation the real estate agent will receive or how this amount will be determined. 2. Compensation that is objective (e.g., $0, X flat fee, X percent, X hourly rate)—and not open-ended (e.g., cannot be “buyer broker compensation shall be whatever the amount the seller is offering to the buyer”). 3. A term that prohibits the agent from receiving compensation for brokerage services from any source that exceeds the amount or rate agreed to in the agreement with the buyer. Who covers the buyer’s agent commission? In the past, sellers generally covered both buyer and seller’s agent fees. As of Aug. 17, buyers will be responsible for paying their agents a fee. Remember, your agent’s compensation is fully negotiable. While the seller may agree to compensate your agent, this offer cannot be shared on a multiple listing service (MLS)—local marketplaces used by both buyer brokers and listing brokers to share property information. As a buyer, you can still accept concessions from the seller, such as offers to cover your closing costs. When choosing a real estate agent, ask about their services and compensation to ensure you fully understand the process. #BuyersAgent #HomeBuyingTips #RealEstateExpert #HomeSearch #FindYourHome #RealEstateGuide #HomeBuyingJourney #FirstTimeHomeBuyer #DreamHome #HomeBuyingProcess #RealEstateAdvice #HouseHunting #StatenIslandRealEstate #SalmonRealEstate #RealEstateHelp
Read MoreEffects of the Recent National Association of Realtors Ruling
NYC-based boutique law firm Pardalis & Nohavicka brings the latest legal updates from the world of real estate. Pardalis & Nohavicka handles an eclectic array of matters, representing individuals and business owners in civil litigation, criminal cases and business transactions, currently litigating and representing clients throughout the United States and around the world. The recent ruling involving the National Association of Realtors (NAR) is expected to have implications for real estate buyers, sellers and members of the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY). Keep reading to find out what these groups can expect in the aftermath of this ruling. Background The NAR settlement stems from a 2019 lawsuit filed by a group of Missouri home-sellers alleging antitrust violations. In it, they claimed that the NAR’s practices inflated real estate commissions, particularly through rules requiring the listing of commission offers on Multiple Listing Services (MLSs). The plaintiffs argued that these practices incentivized buyer agents to favor properties with higher commissions, ultimately harming consumers. On March 15, 2024, NAR agreed to a settlement of $418 million and to the following provisions: Prohibit commission offers on MLSs: NAR must prohibit buyer agents from listing commissions on the MLS, thereby allowing consumers to negotiate commissions directly with agents. Require written agreements for buyer representation: Buyer agents will be required to enter into written agreements with clients before showing homes to ensure transparency about services and fees. Notably, sellers can still offer compensation off of MLSs, and buyer concessions for closing costs will continue to be allowed on MLSs. These changes went into effect on August 17, 2024. Notably, the settlement does not directly affect the amount that real estate agents earn in commissions, but instead focuses on transparency and consumer negotiation. Impact on REBNY Members Changes in Commission Practices: REBNY members — especially brokers and agents — will need to adapt their business practices. This includes updating contracts, disclosures, and marketing materials, while also reevaluating how they disclose commission arrangements and structure their services and fees. Increased Competition: The ruling may lead to heightened competition among brokers as buyers and sellers become more aware of commission structures and seek more cost-effective or transparent options. To stay competitive, REBNY members may need to distinguish themselves by offering better service, market knowledge or alternative commission models. Impact on Buyers & Sellers of Property in New York Greater Transparency in Commission Payments: The NAR ruling is expected to lead to greater transparency around real estate commissions. Specifically, buyers can expect clearer disclosures regarding who is responsible for paying the broker’s commission. Historically, sellers paid both the listing agent’s and the buyer’s agent’s commissions with buyers indirectly covering the cost through the sale price. However, going forward, there may be more upfront discussions about commissions, which could give buyers more leverage to negotiate these fees. Potential Reduction in Buyer Costs: With increased transparency, there will likely be downward pressure on commission rates, potentially leading to lower overall costs for buyers. Accordingly, as agents compete, buyers may benefit from reduced commissions. Potential Unintended Consequences: The increased ability to negotiate commissions could lead to more confusion and create additional friction in transactions. For example, before the ruling, commission structures typically followed standard practices, which allowed both parties to focus more on the overall sale price, rather than the specifics of the commission. Different Structure, Same Pricing Decisions: The NAR ruling may not have a material effect on New York’s real estate market, which could largely continue operating as it has been. Because real estate transactions are often complex, buyers and sellers typically rely on knowledgeable agents to guide them through the process. As a result, commissions may largely remain the same, whether paid by the buyer or seller. While the payment structure may change, these costs will still be factored into the final purchase price. At the same time, sellers will continue to focus on their net returns after deducting all costs, while buyers will focus on affordability and their own closing costs. Conclusions Overall, the NAR ruling is expected to encourage a more competitive housing market, resulting in a net benefit to the buyers. That said, the full effect of the settlement remains uncertain, and there is some skepticism about whether it will meaningfully reduce costs for homebuyers.
