Fraudulent Sellers continue to increase

NCREC continues to receive calls from brokers and consumers about fraudulent sellers attempting to list homes for sale, and in some cases succeeding with the listing and even consummating the sale of the property.  Many County Register of Deeds offices now offer a fraud alert or notification service that property owners can sign up for, so that they will be notified if documents are recorded against their property.

You are invited!

The monthly Real Estate Commission meetings are always open to the public, and you are invited to attend in person or online via Zoom.  The meeting next month is January 15th at the Commission building, 1313 Navaho Drive, Raleigh, NC.  A Zoom link will be available at ncrec.gov on the day of the meeting.
