Protecting Your Real Estate Transaction

At Blondell Properties, we prioritize your security. Wiring instructions will never be sent via email—they’ll come directly from your closing attorney to ensure a safe transaction, whether you’re buying a luxury estate or your first home.

Wire fraud in real estate remains a top cybercrime, with losses reaching $446 million in 2023, nearly triple the $150 million reported in 2018, according to the FBI. The National Association of REALTORS® reports a 400% rise in BEC/EAC scams targeting real estate from 2018 to 2023, often involving fake emails impersonating agents or attorneys.

- Never trust wiring instructions sent via email—cybercriminals often hack accounts to send fake instructions.

- Always confirm wiring instructions in person or by calling a verified phone number you trust.

- Double-check all details before wiring money to ensure accuracy and safety.
