Seller Impersonation Fraud is Surging in 2025—Here’s How to Protect Your Property Before It’s Too Late

You’ve worked hard for your home, your land, or your investment property. Whether you live there or not, you assume it’s safe—securely in your name, and yours to decide what happens next.

But in 2025, that assumption could cost you.

Seller impersonation fraud is one of the fastest-growing crimes in real estate. Scammers are posing as property owners, listing homes and land they don’t own, and walking away with profits—while the real owners are left with the mess.

If you’re a property owner, the threat is real. But the good news? You don’t have to wait until it happens to take action.

The Threat You Can’t See Coming

Seller impersonation fraud often targets:

Vacant land or undeveloped property

Rental properties or second homes

Out-of-state owners

Elderly individuals with minimal oversight

Scammers search public records, find properties with equity and no mortgages, create fake IDs, and list them for sale—usually with a sense of urgency to rush the transaction. In many cases, the true owner doesn’t find out until it’s already too late.

Imagine receiving a call from a title company asking about a property you never listed. Or worse—discovering your deed has been fraudulently transferred.

It’s not just shocking—it’s financially and emotionally devastating.

Why It’s Getting Worse in 2025

With the rise of remote closings, AI-generated documents, and fake identification tools, scammers are becoming more convincing than ever. They can forge paperwork, pose as you over email or text, and complete a fake sale—all without stepping foot on the property.

Unfortunately, the burden often falls on the real owner to prove fraud and try to unwind the damage in court.
