The Problem

Why Real Estate Firms Can't Afford to Ignore Compliance

Regulatory requirements for real estate firms & property managers are not suggestions — they carry financial penalties, license risk, and client liability. Here's what's at stake.

Wire fraud is epidemic in real estate

Business email compromise targeting real estate transactions has cost the industry over $1B annually — compliance programs and wire verification procedures are essential.

FTC Safeguards Rule applies to brokers

The FTC's updated Safeguards Rule now applies to real estate brokerages — requiring written information security programs that most firms don't have.

Rental payment data creates PCI exposure

Property managers collecting credit card rent payments must meet PCI DSS requirements — a compliance obligation most are unaware of.

Client data privacy laws are expanding

NJ, NY, and CT have data breach notification laws that apply fully to real estate firms — a breach involving client SSNs or financial data triggers mandatory notification.
