At Arizona Escrow & Financial, your protection is our priority.
In the commercial real estate industry, fraud is a growing threat, with cybercriminals increasingly targeting electronic fund transfers.
Commercial real estate fraud encompasses deceptive practices aimed at illicitly obtaining money or property through commercial real estate transactions. This type of fraud can affect anyone involved in the transaction process, including buyers, sellers, lenders, and creditors.
Common types of fraud in commercial real estate transactions include:
- Wire fraud: Intercepting and redirecting wire transfers meant for real estate transactions.
- Seller fraud: When a seller misrepresents their identity, ownership, or the
condition of the property. - Deed or title fraud: The unlawful transfer or forgery of property ownership documents.
By staying informed about common fraud tactics and red flags, and by following best practices for fraud prevention, you can safeguard your transactions. Arizona Escrow offers downloadable fraud prevention guides, informative articles, and trusted escrow services to help protect you during your commercial real estate dealings.
