    ​Here are examples of red flags during a real estate transaction. Be wary if you: 
    • Are asked to pay cash. 
    • Are asked to pay for something “on the side,” “outside of escrow,” or “after closing.” 
    • Are asked to pay a real estate agent directly or are asked to pay upfront fees. 
    • Are dealing with unlicensed agents or unlicensed brokerage companies. 
    • Are offered a “forensic loan audit.” 
    • Are dealing with “attorney-backed” businesses or law offices that refuse to provide an attorney’s name or State Bar number.
    • Come across programs and companies that claim to represent Federal or State agencies or programs. 
    • Are given a sales pitch with logical holes, lack of details, or assumptions.
    • Meet with salespeople who fail to discuss possible risks along with possible rewards. All investments carry a risk. 
    • Are asked to lend personal funds to an investment plan secured only by a personal note, or otherwise unsecured. 
    • Encounter lack of an actual business office, unwillingness to meet in an actual office, or refusal to meet in person.
    • Are not provided with required State and Federal disclosures early in the real estate transaction. 
    • Are asked to transfer title.
    • Are encouraged to make payments to someone other than your servicer.
