TEXAS & OKLAHOMA — Designated Title has launched CertifID, an advanced wire fraud prevention platform designed to help protect homebuyers, sellers and real estate professionals from increasingly sophisticated financial scams. By adding enhanced identity verification and secure funds transfer processes, Designated Title is taking proactive steps to reduce fraud risks and provide greater peace of mind during one of life’s most significant financial experiences.
“Wire fraud is a real concern in today’s real estate market, and protecting our clients requires us to stay ahead of evolving threats,” said Ben Yeatts, president of Designated Title. “By investing in technology like CertifID, we’re adding another layer of security to the closing process while giving our clients and real estate partners greater confidence every step of the way.”
Real estate wire fraud often involves criminals impersonating trusted parties, intercepting communications or providing fraudulent wiring instructions to redirect closing funds. CertifID helps address these threats through multiple layers of protection, including identity verification, secure delivery of wiring instructions, digital payment collection and validation of bank account information before funds are transferred. The platform also offers mortgage payoff verification, fraud monitoring and specialized fraud recovery assistance.
“Buying or selling a home is a major milestone, and the last thing anyone should have to worry about is whether their money is going to the right place,” said Yeatts. “Fraud tactics are becoming harder to recognize, and simply telling people to be careful isn’t enough anymore. Our responsibility goes beyond facilitating a successful closing; it’s about protecting our clients and their investments behind every experience.”
The addition of CertifID reinforces Designated Title’s commitment to combining personalized service with innovative technology. By incorporating additional safeguards throughout the closing process, the company continues to prioritize the security, trust and experience of the clients and real estate professionals it serves.
