Hey! That’s my property!

Have you ever heard of Property Fraud Alert?

I think this is a handy little service to have as part of your real estate tools because things happen- especially when we get really busy juggling multiple properties, we can miss something until we go to sell  t he property.

Well, this handy little service can ward off  a few un-welcome surprises.

It was designed to ward against mortgage fraud. It could be something as simple as someone recording a document to have it appear that they own your property-without your knowledge.

Property Fraud Alert is offered in certain counties. Should you decide to check out the site, it’ll ask you for the name(s) you’d like for them to monitor and the email address where you’d like to receive document alert  notification.

If ever something is recorded in your name, you are immediately notified via an email alert with the following information:

• County Location
• Document Number
• Document Type
• Recorded Date
• Party Name(s)

The only downside that I see to this service right now is that it’s not offered everywhere.

If  this sounds like something that would help you- Head on over to Property Fraud Alert and enter your zip code to determine if yours  is a county that they serve.

Property Fraud Alert might be just what you need to help you protect your valuable property investment.
