The risk

Real estate closings are a known target.

In 2025, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center logged 12,368 real estate fraud complaints and more than $275.1 million in reported losses, as reported by ClosingLock. Fraudsters monitor email threads, spoof familiar-looking addresses, and send fake wire instructions that look like they came from your attorney, agent, or title company.

1 email is all it takes. Once funds are sent to the wrong account, they are very difficult to recover. That's why we stop fraud before a wire is ever sent, and why we never rely on email alone for anything involving your money.

How ClosingLock protects you

Three Pillars of Protection.

Every closing we handle runs through the secure ClosingLock portal, not open email, from start to finish.

01 {IC_SHIELD}

Identity verification

Every party to the transaction is verified through ClosingLock using 50+ data points before any funds are released, so you know money is only moving between confirmed, legitimate parties.

02 {IC_KEY}

Secure wire instructions

Wire instructions are delivered through the encrypted ClosingLock portal and never sent by email, so they can't be intercepted or spoofed along the way.

03 {IC_CHECK2}

Automated payoff verification

Mortgage payoff information is verified automatically as part of the process, reducing the chance that outdated or incorrect payoff figures slow down your closing.

What it means for you

Protection you can actually feel.

These protections aren't abstract. Here's what they look like from your side of the closing table.
