Your clients wire their
life savings based on
your email.
Real estate transactions are a prime target for wire fraud, email compromise, and identity theft. One intercepted email at the wrong moment can cost your client everything — and expose your brokerage to devastating liability.
If an attacker silently monitored your agents' email conversations for two weeks before a closing, would your team catch a fraudulent wiring instruction — or comply with it?
Where real estate brokerages
get compromised.
Wire Fraud via Email Hijacking
A buyer's agent email account is compromised weeks before closing. The attacker monitors silently, then at the last moment sends fraudulent wiring instructions impersonating the title company. The buyer wires their down payment to the attacker. Real estate wire fraud losses exceed $446 million annually — and most victims never recover a cent.
Client Data Breach via MLS Access
Agents share login credentials for MLS systems as a matter of convenience. One compromised credential gives an attacker access to thousands of client records — personal data, financial pre-approval letters, transaction histories. A single lazy habit becomes a mass breach.
Listing Fraud & Identity Theft
Attackers scrape your listing data, clone your agency's branding, and create fraudulent listings to collect application fees and deposits from prospective renters. Your reputation takes the hit. Your clients lose money. You spend months cleaning up the aftermath.
Agent Personal Device Exposure
Agents conduct business on personal phones and laptops — signing documents, accessing transaction management systems, emailing clients. Those devices have no corporate security controls. One lost phone, one infected laptop, and your entire client pipeline is at risk.
Third-Party Vendor Compromise
Your transaction coordinator, title company, or property management software vendor is breached. Because you trust that integration, the attacker moves laterally into your systems. You never saw it coming — and you're still liable for the client data exposure.
Agent Impersonation Attacks
Attackers study your agents' communication patterns through social media and LinkedIn, then impersonate them via spoofed email addresses to request wire transfers, collect deposits, or manipulate transaction terms. Your brand is used against your clients.
The transaction lifecycle is
your attack surface.
Real estate transactions are uniquely vulnerable — high dollar amounts, time pressure, multiple parties, and a culture of urgency that makes verification feel like friction. Attackers know this and exploit it precisely. We build security programs that protect the transaction lifecycle without slowing it down.
Wire Fraud Prevention Training
NLP-enhanced training built around the exact social engineering tactics used in real estate wire fraud — behavioral anchors that make your agents automatically verify any wiring instruction change through a confirmed phone call, every single time.
Transaction Communication Security
Secure email practices, digital signature protocols, and client communication workflows that close the gaps attackers exploit in the critical window between contract and close.
Agent Device & Access Governance
Identity governance for high-turnover real estate environments — agent onboarding, MLS credential management, departing agent offboarding, and BYOD security policies that work in practice.
Incident Response for High-Stakes Transactions
When wire fraud happens, the first 60 minutes determine whether funds are recovered. We build and rehearse your response plan — including bank contact protocols, FBI IC3 reporting, and client communication templates — before you ever need it.

Tools & strategies built
for your world.
Every service is designed around how real estate brokerages actually operate — and how attackers specifically target the transaction lifecycle.
Wire Fraud Prevention Training
NLP-anchored behavioral training that makes phone verification of wiring instructions instinctive — not a policy your agents try to remember. Includes phishing simulations using realistic real estate lures: fake title company emails, spoofed attorney instructions, fraudulent DocuSign requests.
Email Security & DMARC
Domain-based email authentication that prevents attackers from spoofing your agency's domain — the technical foundation that makes email impersonation attacks impossible against your brand.
Risk Assessment
A practical map of your brokerage's attack surface — transaction workflows, MLS access, client communication channels, vendor integrations — with prioritized remediation guidance in plain English.
MDR & Threat Monitoring
24/7 monitoring calibrated for real estate environments — detecting credential compromise, unusual MLS access patterns, and suspicious transaction-related communications before damage is done.
Policy & Compliance
Cybersecurity policies built for how brokerages actually operate — wire transfer verification procedures, BYOD policies, client data handling standards, and incident response plans your team will actually follow.
Incident Response
When wire fraud strikes, every minute counts. We build your response plan in advance — bank fraud escalation contacts, FBI IC3 reporting workflow, client notification templates, and broker liability guidance.
