Closinglock: Protecting Real Estate Agents and Their Clients from Fraud

In today’s fast-paced real estate market, agents are juggling dozens of moving parts—negotiations, inspections, deadlines, and, of course, the closing process. But while you’re working hard to deliver a smooth experience for your clients, there’s a lurking risk that’s become one of the industry’s most pressing issues: real estate fraud.

Wire fraud, seller impersonation, and phishing scams are costing buyers, sellers, and professionals billions of dollars every year. For agents, even if you’re not directly handling the transfer of funds, fraud can leave a lasting stain on your reputation and put your client relationships at risk. That’s where Closinglock comes in.

Who We Are

Closinglock is a secure platform built specifically for the real estate industry to prevent fraud and streamline the closing experience. We work with title companies, law firms, lenders, and real estate agents to replace outdated and risky communication methods—like email and fax—with a modern, secure solution.

We’ve already protected over one million clients from fraud, helping professionals close with confidence while protecting their reputation and business. Our vision is simple: to make real estate transactions safe, seamless, and stress-free for everyone involved.

Why Real Estate Agents Need Closinglock

Even though agents don’t directly move money or manage escrow accounts, you are the trusted guide throughout the entire process. Your clients look to you for reassurance, and they rely on you to connect them with the right partners. When a buyer loses their down payment to fraud, it’s devastating—not just financially, but emotionally.

By working with title companies and law firms that use Closinglock, you’re giving your clients the peace of mind they deserve. Instead of exposing them to risky email instructions or unsecured file-sharing, Closinglock provides a fraud-proof communication channel for wiring instructions, documents, and e-signatures.

This means you can confidently say to your clients: “Your funds and your information are safe.”

How It Works for Agents

Here’s what partnering with a Closinglock-enabled title company looks like for you and your clients:

  1. Secure Wire Instructions: Instead of receiving wire instructions over email (a major source of fraud), your clients get them directly through Closinglock’s secure portal. No guesswork, no phishing scams.
  2. Fraud Prevention at Every Step: Closinglock verifies identities, validates sellers, and provides two-way secure communication, dramatically reducing fraud risk.
  3. Streamlined Document Sharing: From contracts to closing disclosures, documents can be shared and signed electronically in one place—faster, safer, and more convenient than email.
  4. Peace of Mind for Your Clients: With Closinglock in place, you can focus on being a trusted advisor while your clients enjoy a modern, secure closing experience.

The Bottom Line

As an agent, your role is to build trust and deliver a smooth journey from contract to close. By aligning yourself with title companies and firms that use Closinglock, you’re doing more than protecting your clients’ money—you’re protecting your reputation, strengthening your referrals, and standing out as a professional who prioritizes security and innovation.

In a market where fraud is on the rise, Closinglock gives you a competitive edge and ensures your clients can focus on the excitement of buying or selling their home—not the fear of being scammed.
