Title monitoring services? A necessity to protect your property or "a solution looking for a problem"? Maura and Cheryl discuss title fraud, title monitoring, and title insurance -- and what property owners (and agents) should be on the lookout for.
RESOURCES:
- DeKalb County, Georgia, has a Fraud Registry that provides email and text notification services once you register your property. This system was put in place in 2014 in response to the property fraud issues in the city of Atlanta.
- As of 2022, Fulton County, Georgia owners can also sign up for free alerts any time there is a change to their property title. I signed up for their R.E.A.A.C.T. (Real Estate Activity Alert and Contact Tool) in minutes and will get an email and text if there is any activity. This means that all of the city of Atlanta is now covered by a registration system.
- In Georgia, all county deed records are available online through the Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA.org) but this is a pay service used predominantly by people and companies in the real estate industry. Some counties also provide their deed records free online on their own county site. Homeowners can check their state and county on netronline.com. Georgia counties that do provide free records searches include: Cherokee County, Cobb County, and Forsyth County.
