What's the most common cybersecurity mistake real estate agencies make?
The most common cybersecurity mistake real estate agencies make is trusting wire instructions and closing documents that arrive by email without verifying them through a separate, known phone number. Because agents move money and handle client PII constantly, attackers spoof familiar emails to reroute funds at closing. A simple callback-verification rule on every wire request stops the majority of these losses.
What security-awareness training does real estate agency staff need?
Real estate agency staff need training focused on spotting phishing and document spoofing at closing, since that is where funds and client PII are most exposed. Practical drills should cover verifying wire changes by phone, recognizing lookalike sender addresses, and safely handling files on the mobile devices agents use in the field. Short, repeated sessions work better than one annual class.
Is real estate software secure by default, or does it need extra protection?
Real estate software is generally not secure by default; transaction, CRM, and email platforms ship with convenience settings that leave gaps until they are hardened. Multi-factor authentication is often optional, and mobile access for agents can expose client PII when devices are unmanaged. Turning on MFA, using managed devices, and restricting sharing converts capable tools into genuinely secure ones.
