This month’s tip comes from Rochelle Navarro, Escrow Officer and Brand Manager of our Amberglen office.
In recent months, there has been an increase in attempted scams targeting absentee sellers. The scammers pose as the property owner and attempt to sell their property without their knowledge. In order to protect these sellers and their agents, we have implemented a multi-step identity verification process for absentee sellers. Through this process, we require a virtual appointment and government ID verification to make sure they’re really who they say they are. The process is quick and seamless but will aid in preventing potential theft. If you have further questions about this process and how it may impact your future transactions, feel free to reach out directly to your Ticor Title Escrow Officer and they will be able to help.
