FAQs

Common Questions from Real Estate Agents & Brokers Businesses

What is real estate wire fraud?

Criminals intercept closing communications and send fraudulent wire transfer instructions, redirecting buyer funds to their accounts. Losses can range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Does cyber liability cover a wire transfer fraud loss in a real estate transaction?

Some cyber policies include social engineering/funds transfer fraud coverage for these events. This is a critical endorsement to ask about for real estate professionals.

Isn't cybersecurity a technology issue, not an insurance issue?

Technology tools like firewalls and antivirus software reduce the risk of incidents, but they can't prevent all breaches or undo the financial damage after one occurs. Cyber liability insurance addresses the financial consequences that technology alone can't mitigate.

What is the difference between first-party and third-party cyber coverage?

First-party coverage pays for your own direct losses — ransom payments, system recovery, business interruption, and notification costs. Third-party coverage pays for claims made against your business by clients, partners, or regulators who were harmed by a breach of your systems.
