Home title fraud monitoring

Know the moment
anything is filed
against your home.

Deed fraud and fake liens are a growing property crime, and the county won't call you when one is filed. We watch the recorder's feed every day. The instant a deed, lien, mortgage, or any other document is recorded against your parcel, you get a plain-English email and text, usually within hours, so you can act before the damage is done.

Home title fraud

Deed fraud is real. This is your early warning.

Home title theft is one of the fastest-growing real-estate crimes: someone files a forged deed or a fake lien against a property and the owner has no idea until the damage is done. Parcel Watch is the simple guardrail, an alert the moment anything touches your parcel.

Forged deeds & fake liens

A scammer records a quitclaim deed or a bogus lien against your property to borrow against it, or to "sell" a home that was never theirs. Nothing tips you off, because the filing happens at the county, not in your mailbox.

You hear first, not last

Most victims find out months later, when a bill, a default notice, or a foreclosure letter arrives. We watch the recorder's feed daily and alert you the day anything is filed against your parcel.

Catch it while it's fixable

Early notice is everything. The moment you see a filing you don't recognize, you can call your title company or the recorder and challenge it before a fraudulent document clouds your title.

Protect my home

Parcel Watch is an early-warning monitoring service. It can't block a filing from being recorded, but it makes sure you're the first to know so you can respond fast.

FAQ

Common questions.

Does this protect me from home title fraud?+

It's designed for exactly that. Deed fraud and fake-lien schemes work because a document gets recorded at the county without the owner knowing, and most people only find out months later. Parcel Watch can't stop a document from being recorded, but it makes you the first to know: the day a deed, lien, or mortgage hits your parcel, you get an alert. That early notice is what lets you challenge a fraudulent filing with your title company or the recorder before it does real harm.

What counts as a "document recorded against my parcel"?+

Anything filed with the county recorder against your parcel number: deeds, deeds of trust, liens, releases, reconveyances, mortgage assignments, easements, judgments, UCC filings, you name it. We read the recorded documents directly from the county recorder feed (or a title plant back-feed) and generate the alerts ourselves, so we catch it without waiting on anyone's index.

How fast do alerts arrive?+

We ingest the recorder's feed at least daily, sometimes hourly when the county publishes that often. From the moment a document is recorded, both your email and your text alert go out within the same business day in most cases.

Do I have to pick email or text?+

You get both by default. Email has the full document summary; the text gives you a single line of context plus a link to the same details. Turn off either channel from your account at any time.

Can I watch multiple parcels?+

Yes, one subscription per parcel. Snowbirds, investors, and family members watching elderly relatives' homes are common cases. Volume pricing for title companies and high-volume watchers; reach out.

What if I sell or pay off my mortgage?+

Routine recordings (reconveyances, releases) get the lighter "this is routine" framing. Selling triggers a deed recording, which fires the high-priority alert. That's exactly what you want, since that's the pattern you're monitoring for.

Can I cancel?+

Yes, any time. Annual subscription; if you cancel mid-year we stop monitoring at the end of the period. No early-termination charges.
