Closing Security: Securing Wire Instructions & Client Communications

Preventing business email compromise and fraudulent wire transfers during commercial and residential property transactions.

Stopping Email Hijacking at Closing

Real estate brokerages and title agents remain primary targets for email interception attacks[cite: 2]. Fraudsters silently monitor email threads to substitute wire instructions right before closing dates[cite: 2].

Verification Standards

• Out-of-Band Call Verification: Require verbal telephone confirmation via verified numbers before initiating any funds transfer[cite: 2].
• Conditional Access Policies: Restrict employee email access strictly to trusted devices and locations.
• DKIM, DMARC, and SPF Enforcement: Prevent hackers from spoofing your brokerage's email domain name.
