Working in Partnership To Detect Fraud
Protecting the homeowners in your county has never been easier. Data Trace offers a unique and comprehensive real estate transaction notification program designed to assist in protecting your residents from becoming victims of fraud. We dedicate our resources to properly research and distribute recorded documents such as grant deeds, quitclaim deeds, and trust deeds directly to the homeowners in your county.
The volatile housing market helped to perpetuate one of the fastest growing white collar crimes in the United States - real estate fraud. This growing trend encourages intervention by government officials to prevent, investigate, and prosecute instances of fraud.
