Protect Your Clients from Property Fraud—Before It Happens
Title fraud is a growing concern across Florida, and it’s more sophisticated than ever. Scammers are posing as legitimate owners—especially of vacant land and investment properties—and attempting to sell them without the real owner’s knowledge.
Even with strong internal protections in place at The Title Link, it’s important that property owners (and their agents) take an extra step in staying vigilant.
✅ Florida Clerks’ Property Alert Services
Every Florida county offers a free service that alerts property owners when any official document is recorded in their name—whether it’s a deed, lien, mortgage, or satisfaction of mortgage. It’s one of the most effective ways to catch potential fraud early.
