Keys to Real Estate podcast

Keys to Real Estate

NEW EPISODE: Season 3 Episode 19
Everything Is Fine Until It's Not – Tom Cronkright and Bill Svoboda

There is a lot of discussion around the need for trust among coworkers, but does that outweigh the need for frameworks that ensure the security of your company’s critical systems? CertifID Co-Founder and Executive Chairman Tom Cronkright and CloseSimple Co-Founder Bill Svoboda explained how too much trust and not enough objective verification can lead to major problems during the closing process. They joined October Research Chief Knowledge Officer Mary Schuster on the Keys to Real Estate podcast for a second time to talk about why companies are increasingly finding they are better off automating certain operations than relying on humans to spot every issue that could crop up during a closing amid a myriad of variables.

Chapters:
1:15 – Why Fraud Has Become a Business Risk
3:30 – How Fraudsters Have Evolved
9:00 – Automation and Passive Identity Verification
13:35 – The Account Takeover Fraud Threat
18:10 – New Fraud Tactics Targeting Realtors
23:50 – Quick Wins for Better Fraud Protection
27:05 – Why Intentional Friction Matters
30:35 – What Helps Agencies Recover Faster
