Protecting your business from land scams
Land scams are on the rise, and real estate professionals are increasingly at risk from fraudsters looking to impersonate property owners and sell land they don’t own. These scams can have widespread financial and legal consequences if left unchecked. As fraudulent listings and identity manipulation become more sophisticated, it’s critical for agents to be proactive in verifying the identities of any potential client.
What FOREWARN Users Are Saying
Provides valuable insights
I’m a REALTOR®, and I found out that FOREWARN was provided through our organization. On my way to an appointment, I decided to enter the number of the person I had the appointment with. I was surprised to find out that the person had been convicted of kidnapping and other gun charges. I do understand that a charge can be an umbrella of things. However, I don’t want to face anything associated with kidnapping, especially alone. I’m thankful I was able to know this information before I went. Please use the FOREWARN app. It may have saved my life.
We did a series of focus groups with our members last summer to find out what they thought of Mainstreet and where they saw the value of membership. In each group, participants said FOREWARN was their most useful and appreciated member benefit.
