FAQS
1. What are the most common real estate scams in California?
The most common scams include wire fraud, title fraud, mortgage elimination scams, foreclosure rescue schemes, and fraudulent property flips. These often target stressed buyers or vulnerable homeowners.
2. How can I protect myself from wire fraud when buying a home?
Always call your escrow officer using a verified phone number before wiring funds. Never rely on contact info inside an email, and enable multi-factor authentication on your email accounts.
3. How do I know if someone is trying to steal my home title?
Warning signs include unexpected mail about mortgages you didn’t apply for, changes in property records, or notices from lenders. Signing up for your county recorder alert system adds extra protection.
4. Are foreclosure rescue programs in California legit?
Only HUD-approved housing counselors and verified government programs are legitimate. Anyone demanding upfront fees or promising to “save your home” quickly is likely running a scam.
