Real Estate Agencies

Cyber security for real estate agencies

Real estate agencies sit in the middle of large transfers — deposits, rent, settlements — which makes them a favourite target for payment redirection and email impersonation. Buyers and tenants trust emails that look like they come from you.

The risks we see in your industry

  • Settlement and deposit redirection scams impersonating your agency
  • Compromised agent mailboxes used to send fake payment instructions to buyers and tenants
  • Trust account processes that rely on email alone
  • Property management platforms with broad staff access and no MFA
  • Reputation damage when clients are scammed 'via' your brand, even if your systems were not breached

How Yarra Secure helps

  • Email authentication so criminals cannot easily send mail as your agency
  • Payment instruction and verification SOPs for sales and property management
  • Account and MFA cleanup across agency platforms
  • Training built on real estate scam scenarios
  • Client-facing wording that warns buyers and tenants how you will (and will never) communicate payment details
