Phishing Training for Real Estate
Real estate transactions involve large wire transfers and emotional buyers—a perfect combination for fraudsters. One compromised email can redirect a down payment to criminals.
Why Real Estate Agencies Need Phishing Training
Real estate wire fraud is one of the fastest-growing cybercrimes. Attackers monitor email threads, waiting for the right moment to send fake wire instructions. When a buyer loses their down payment, everyone in the transaction chain faces scrutiny—including the agents who could have prevented it.
Key Challenges
- •Large wire transfers make real estate transactions high-value targets
- •Multiple parties (agents, title companies, lenders) create confusion attackers exploit
- •Buyers under time pressure may not verify unusual requests
- •Agents' contact information is publicly available for targeting

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about phishing training for real estate agencies.
How common is wire fraud in real estate?
Wire fraud targeting real estate transactions has increased dramatically. Criminals specifically monitor real estate emails, waiting for closing dates to send fake wire instructions. Training your team to recognize these attacks is critical.
Should we train our entire team or just agents?
