Here’s something that might give you a fright! 👻

Did you know that when a title company holds earnest money, the rules for releasing those funds may differ from when a Realtor’s brokerage holds them?

THE SPOOKY TRUTH:
Section 12.3 of the updated Columbus REALTORS® Purchase Contract addresses third-party earnest money deposits and requires the parties to sign the title company’s escrow agreement.

WHY DOES THIS MATTER?
If a deal falls out of contract, don’t assume the earnest money automatically goes back to the buyer or gets released to the seller! The title company must follow the applicable escrow agreement and legal requirements.

Avoid a scary surprise! Know who’s holding the funds and consult Search2Close before agreeing to non-refundable earnest money. Different agreements can offer different layers of protection.

Because the only thing that should disappear this Halloween is the candy… NOT your earnest money! 🍬🎃

🚨 Another fraudulent seller stopped.

A recent vacant land transaction raised a red flag for our team, and we took the extra steps to verify before moving forward.

The result? The person claiming to be the property owner wasn’t the real seller, and the identification provided was fraudulent too.

Seller impersonation fraud is real, and vacant land can be a common target. This is exactly why taking the time to verify details early in the transaction matters.

At Search2Close, protecting our agents and clients starts long before the closing table. If you ever have concerns about a seller or transaction, reach out to our team. We’re here to help identify potential red flags and take the appropriate steps to verify before moving forward.

Some things are too important to outsource.

Our closings are handled by our employee notaries – who are part of our team - trained to our standards & invested in delivering the kind of Ultimate Closing Experience we want associated with our name.

Because the closing table isn’t just the last step in the transaction. It’s the last impression.

And we think that matters. 🏡

We are wrapping up REALTOR® Safety Month with a few important takeaways from our recent Lunch & Learn! From SIM takeovers and fraud prevention to personal safety, staying alert and knowing what to watch for can help protect you and your clients.

Safety is important year-round. Stay aware, verify when something seems suspicious, and report potential fraud as quickly as possible. 🔐

Real estate fraud is on the rise and scammers are getting more sophisticated.

According to the FBI, real estate scams resulted in more than $275 million in reported losses in 2025, a 58.5% increase from the year before.

When it comes to wiring funds, taking a few extra minutes to verify can make all the difference. Never rely solely on an email, text, or incoming call. Always verify wiring instructions using a known, trusted phone number.

And don’t forget! Tomorrow, we’re continuing the conversation at our REALTOR® Safety & Fraud Awareness Lunch & Learn with guest speaker Detective Philip Flahive of the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office.

REALTOR® Safety Month is a great reminder that safety starts before you even walk through the door. 🏠

Whether you’re heading to a showing, meeting a new client, or visiting a vacant property, taking a few extra seconds to assess your surroundings can make a difference.

Park where you can easily leave, keep your phone accessible, let someone know where you are, and most importantly, trust your instincts. If something doesn’t feel right, you don’t have to go inside.

Stay aware. Have a plan. Stay safe!
