EquityProtect, a leader in real estate fraud prevention and data security, has partnered with Pacific Coast Title Company, a technology-focused leading title agent in California, to offer victims of California’s recent wildfires free protection from title theft with EquityProtect’s patented technology designed to safeguard homeowners from deed theft crimes.

In the wake of natural disasters, homeowners are most vulnerable to real estate fraud as cyberscammers seek to take advantage of the chaos. In the case of deed fraud, scammers will forge documents and steal personal information that enable them to unlawfully assume ownership of a property, which can lead to significant financial losses for homeowners seeking to rebuild on their property or recover insurance claims.

To protect against real estate fraud, EquityProtect uses its patented two-factor authentication technology to safeguard a property from unwarranted claims to its title. EquityProtect and Pacific Coast Title will offer California wildfire victims free title protection for one year, providing consistent monitoring of their property address to prevent any fraudulent activities that signal an attempt to steal the home's title or equity.

“Those impacted by the California wildfires have experienced unimaginable devastation,” said EquityProtect CEO Ryan Marshall. “EquityProtect has an opportunity to help by offering its services free for these homeowners who have already lost so much. It’s a sad fact that natural disasters often lead to a surge in real estate fraud, and our technology can ensure that these victims are protected from any further financial losses as they work to recover from this disaster.”

“At Pacific Coast Title Company, we understand the devastating impact wildfires have on communities across California. Protecting homeowners and their properties is at the heart of what we do,” said Al Alfonso, President of Pacific Coast Title Company. “In partnership with EquityProtect, we are proud to offer innovative property protection services that provide an added layer of security during these challenging times. Coupled with our trusted escrow services, we are committed to providing homeowners with a seamless, secure, and comprehensive experience, safeguarding what matters most—your home and your peace of mind.”
