One convincing email. One changed wiring instruction. One seller who is not really the owner.
Cybercrime in real estate does not always begin with an obvious warning. It often looks like an ordinary request arriving during a busy transaction—when everyone is moving quickly and expecting money, documents and information to change hands.
Cybersecurity & Fraud Prevention in Real Estate is a practical four-hour course that helps real estate professionals recognize what may be wrong, slow the transaction down and take the right next step.
Using realistic case studies, students will examine phishing, Business Email Compromise, wire fraud, seller impersonation, account takeover, identity fraud, unsafe data practices and AI-assisted scams. The focus is not on turning agents into technology experts. It is on helping them protect their clients, their transactions and their own businesses.
Students will learn how to:
- Spot suspicious emails, messages and last-minute requests
- Verify wiring instructions and financial changes safely
- Recognize warning signs of seller impersonation
- Protect passwords, devices and transaction information
- Use AI tools without sacrificing accuracy or confidentiality
- Create safer procedures for meeting and validating new clients
- Respond quickly when fraud or a security incident is suspected
The course includes nine real-estate case studies, practical exercises, knowledge checks and strategies that can be put to work immediately. Technical subjects are explained in clear language and connected to situations agents may actually encounter.
