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.

Friday Fraud Alert ~

FCC Enforcement Bureau issues second ever C-CIST classification for a group of individuals and entities identified by EB as 'Green Mirage' for persistently facilitating illegally spoofed calls aimed at defrauding and harming consumers.

"Green Mirage" is purportedly responsible for perpetrating a deceptive and fraudulent calling campaign targeting homeowners in all fifty states and stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Green Mirage’s callers pose as the homeowner’s mortgage provider and contact homeowners – who oftentimes have previously sought relief from their actual mortgage lender and may expect to be contacted.

The callers frequently know details regarding the homeowner’s name, address, and their current or former mortgage lending institution.1 Callers also spoof the caller ID number of the homeowner’s actual mortgage lending institution, further convincing the homeowner of the call’s legitimacy.

Green Mirage’s conduct, as described in this Public Notice, apparently constitutes the unlawful use of inaccurate caller identification in violation of the Truth in Caller ID Act and Commission rules15 as Green Mirage apparently has made thousands of calls with the intent to defraud recipients in the United States by transmitting misleading caller ID information. Additionally, Green Mirage’s conduct may violate criminal laws, including the wire fraud statute.16

Callers spoof the caller ID number of the victim's actual lending institution, swindling money from those seeking financial relief.

Massive real estate transaction FRIDAY ~

Check out this recent land deal that adds ONE SQUARE MILE = 640 ACRES for all you who have forgotten your land calculations. [Footnote 1]

Located within Grand Teton National Park, the Kelly Parcel stretches 640 acres through the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. It has been owned by the state of Wyoming since the state's establishment, but it's only been a part of the national park since 1950.

The Kelly Parcel is a state trust land, which means that assets from the land generate income for Wyoming public schools, as stated in the state's constitution. The parcel, according to the Grand Teton National Park Foundation, currently obtained about $2,800 annual through various permits.

The sale of the Kelly Parcel will return approximately $69.6 million into Wyoming's Common School Permanent Fund within the first 10 years, according to the Grand Teton National Park Foundation.

The Department of Interior provided $62.4 million for the purchase and the Grand Teton National Park Foundation raised the remaining $37.6 million through private donations.

The $100 million from the sale of the so-called Kelly Parcel can be used by Wyoming to purchase other federal lands and minerals within the state.

All I want for Christmas is... a truly OPTIONAL trade membership and lobbying association.

Congratulations to REALTY ONE for allowing their agents just that.

Realty ONE Group — a franchise brand with more than 20,000 real estate agents across the U.S. and globally — announced today that its Phoenix-area agents can decide whether they want to affiliate with or remain members of NAR.

Beginning January 1, 2025, agents in eight Phoenix locations will have the option to join a newly created subsidiary, Realty ONE Group AZ, allowing them to "disassociate" with NAR and sign up for Phoenix Realtors' MLS Choice program.

What is MLS Choice? In November, Phoenix Realtors announced a new, lower-cost membership program for brokers dubbed MLS Choice. If a brokerage opts in, its agents can access the MLS and legal forms — without joining a Realtor association.

The global brokerage has formed a Phoenix-based subsidiary, allowing area agents to discontinue association membership while retaining MLS access.

A treehouse with a donkey. Is this perfect or what?!



The builder writes:

"This huge pine tree is exquisite.

We tamed him with a tiny cabin for proportion.

The spiral staircase coiled around an added pile lessens the load.

Up there, just a small bunk, a desk and a few shelves.

A small white a-s kept us company during the whole construction.

He is still on guard."
