Fraudsters are constantly evolving in their tactics. In the real estate sector, where transactions involve large sums of money and complex coordination among multiple parties, business email compromise, or BEC, attacks represent a particularly serious threat.

According to the FBI's 2023 Internet Crime Report, BEC scams resulted in losses exceeding $2.9 billion across all sectors, with the real estate and rental sectors being among the most affected. In real estate, the average business email compromise incident results in losses of $150,000 to $200,000.
