Property Fraud Protection

Someone could steal your home.
You wouldn’t know for 18 months.

Deed fraud is one of the fastest-growing crimes in America — and most owners find out months after it happens. DeedWatcher monitors your property records continuously, scores every filing for fraud risk, and alerts you with a plain-English action plan.

How It Works

Protection that runs
while you sleep.

Three steps stand between your property and fraudsters. No lawyers needed — until we find something real.

Step 01

Add Your Properties

Enter your property address. We connect to your county recorder's office and begin actively monitoring for new deed recordings and filings. No paperwork required.

Step 02

We Monitor Continuously

Our system scans county records and listing platforms around the clock. Every deed transfer, lien, or unauthorized listing is flagged and scored 1–10 with a plain-English explanation.

Step 03

Get Alerted Immediately

Receive a push notification when activity is detected. Review the risk assessment, ask follow-up questions via AI Chat, or contact an attorney directly from the app.

Features

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Built for homeowners, landlords, and investors who take their assets seriously.

Continuous County Monitoring

We scan official county recorder databases on your behalf — automatically, around the clock. The moment a filing appears on your property, you know about it.

Unauthorized Listing Detection

We monitor major real estate platforms for your property being listed without your authorization. If someone tries to sell or rent your home without your knowledge, you'll know before it goes far.

AI Triage Scoring

Every alert gets a 1–10 risk score with a plain-English breakdown of why it's flagged, how urgent it is, and exactly what to do next.

Instant Push Alerts

Get notified on iOS and Android when suspicious activity hits your property record. Stay informed as soon as our system detects a change.

AI Alert Chat Assistant

Ask follow-up questions about any alert in plain English. Our AI explains what happened, your legal options, and connects you with an attorney if needed.

Document Vault

Securely store your deed, title insurance, and related documents in an encrypted vault. Access them instantly from anywhere when you need them most.

Dark Web Monitoring

We scan dark web data breach databases for your email address and alert you if your personal information has been exposed — giving you a head start before it can be used against you.

Why This Matters

Deed fraud is simple,
fast, and largely invisible.

Criminals don’t need to break into your home. They forge a signature, pay a $15 filing fee, and your property is legally “transferred” — often before you receive any notification in the mail.

A deed is forged

Using publicly available information — your name, address, and parcel number — a fraudulent deed or grant deed is created with a forged signature.

Filed at the county recorder

The document is submitted to your county recorder’s office for as little as $15. Most counties process filings with minimal verification. The transfer is now public record.

The damage begins

Once recorded, criminals can sell, mortgage, or borrow against your property. The law provides remedies — but they are far more effective when fraud is caught quickly, before a sale closes or a second lien is attached. The earlier you know, the stronger your position.

Common questions.

What exactly is deed fraud and how common is it?

Deed fraud occurs when someone illegally transfers ownership of your property by forging your signature on a deed or using fraudulent documents at a county recorder's office. It is one of the fastest-growing crimes in the US — the FBI estimates over $4.2 billion is lost annually to real estate fraud. Homeowners can go months or years without discovering their property has been stolen.

How does DeedWatcher actually monitor my property?

DeedWatcher connects to your county recorder's database and checks for new filings against your property address. We also scan major real estate listing platforms for unauthorized listings of your property. County records are updated during government business hours — we check as soon as new data becomes available and notify you promptly — alert timing depends on when your county publishes updated records.

Is DeedWatcher available for my county?

County recording alerts are live in select markets across the US and expanding rapidly — new coverage areas are added regularly. Unauthorized listing detection across major real estate platforms is available nationally. Start your free trial and we'll notify you when your county goes live — no obligation to continue if coverage isn't yet in your area.

Does DeedWatcher replace title insurance?

No — they serve different purposes and work best together. Title insurance is a one-time policy that covers losses from past defects in title discovered after purchase. DeedWatcher is ongoing monitoring that detects new fraud as it happens, giving you time to respond before damage escalates. Think of title insurance as your safety net and DeedWatcher as your early warning system.

What happens if DeedWatcher detects suspicious activity?

You receive an immediate push notification with a plain-English summary of what was detected and a 1–10 risk score. From the app, you can review the full AI triage report, ask follow-up questions via the AI Chat Assistant, view the source document, and contact a real estate attorney directly. We don't just alert you — we tell you what to do next.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, absolutely. Cancel anytime from your account settings or by emailing support@deedwatcher.com — no questions asked. Your 7-day free trial requires no credit card to start.
