About this listen
In this shocking episode of U Own It, Jerry shares a true story about real estate deed fraud that hit close to home in Western New York. What began as a suspicious letter to a former client turned into the discovery of a fraudulent property sale, where a vacant lot was "sold" without the real owner's knowledge.
Jerry walks listeners through every step of the ordeal, how multiple professionals worked together to stop the fraud in time, and most importantly, how you can protect your property from being stolen through deed theft. Packed with practical advice, resources, and real-world lessons, this episode is a must-hear for every homeowner, investor, and real estate professional.
Jerry also highlights the importance of community and quick action—showing how one phone call, a cooperative real estate network, and a vigilant county clerk's office prevented a devastating loss. He breaks down how modern loopholes, such as remote notarizations and digital transactions, can open the door for scams that even seasoned agents may overlook.
