An earnest money deposit is one of the most important moments in a real estate transaction. While you can certainly still bring in a check or send a wire for your deposit, INTEGRITY has been pleased to be an early adopter of EARNNEST, who we partner with to make every transaction simpler and more secure. EARNNEST is built for real estate.

LOVE to see this. We worked on a few of these MV Mistakes last year and were very relieved to see the AG succeed in obtaining some relief for Georgia property owners.

Public Service Announcement: If you own real estate, please DO NOT SIGN ************ANYTHING************** without getting another adult person's opinion. A lawyer, an agent, a church member, a neighbor, Clark Howard, Google, Chat GPT. Something. Don't just sign a document without understanding it.

🚨 $1 MILLION secured for homeowners who paid a ridiculous early termination fee to end a predatory contract with MV Realty.

If you cheat Georgians — putting their life savings at risk — we’re taking you to Court and shutting down your operations.

Those impacted have been identified and will be contacted by our Consumer Protection Division.

Market Monday~

This is not good news for real estate, but it is also not a guarantee. I like to reference Enron and 2008 on my list of notable analyst failures... Anyways, BOA analysts project a tightening of the belt in the remaining 2026 Federal Reserve meetings:

Bank of America Global Research economists expect the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates three times this year...

Tangled Title Tales ~ INTEGRITY TITLE staff recently benefited from attending a seminar by the Center for Heirs Property recently on the topic of Resilient & Affordable Housing for Heirs' Property Families. A number of professionals shared resources on how heirs' property affects housing stability, disaster recovery, property values, and affordable housing preservation, encouraging more attention to solutions to help families repair, retain, and pass down their homes.

GA is still in the clear. No additional compliance requirements for real estate transactions. (Read: send me your contracts!)

Georgia again is left off the list of states required to comply with additional fraud and money laundering rules.

FinCEN renewed the GTOs that cover certain counties and major U.S. metropolitan areas in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New York, Texas, Washington, Virgina, and the District of Columbia.

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) on Oct. 15 renewed its Geographic Targeting Orders (GTO) that requires U.S. title insurance companies to identify the natural persons behind shell companies used in non-financed purchases of residential real estate. The terms of the GTOs are effectiv...

Fraud Friday! New report shares data on how title companies protect consumers.

TL/DR:

If you are not channeling Chris Hansen every day, you're not doing it right.

“Title and settlement companies take protecting their clients’ funds extremely seriously,” said Diane Tomb, ALTA’s chief executive officer. “That’s why title professionals make it a priority to educate consumers about wire transfer fraud. By raising awareness about red flags, secure communication practices and verification steps, homebuyers are better equipped to protect their hard-earned money from cybercriminals. Knowledge is the first line of defense in ensuring a safe and secure homebuying experience.”

Title professionals continue to be targeted by attempts to steal funds from real estate transactions, but consumer education and staff training are helping mitigate losses, according to ALTA’s latest cybercrime study. Read on for more results.
