CLTA Titlecast Episode 46: High Risk Transactions - Free & Clear Properties

9/4/2026

 
The CLTA is pleased to announce the release of its newest CLTA Titlecast, Episode 46:  High Risk Transactions – Free & Clear Properties, brought to you by the CLTA Education Committee. ​This short presentation dives into something very timely and important – free and clear Properties. Criminals pose as real property owners and attempt to sale free and clear property, often vacant land or non-owner occupied properties, they do not own. Free and clear properties are one of the most common targets.
Remember - criminals look for pressure points. They time their approach around long weekends and holidays, when offices might be short-staffed and in a rush to close.  If something strikes you as even remotely suspicious, it is critical to stop, think, and verify – pause, ask more questions and seek additional input from your legal counsel. Being educated, aware, and vigilant is what helps you to identify these at-risk transactions before they close.

This CLTA Titlecast episode is now available on CLTA’s Members-Only Titlecast education portal.  If you have not already, be sure to check out CLTA's educational Titlecast series, free to CLTA members.

CLTA Titlecast episodes are available to Regular, Associate and Affiliate members as a direct membership benefit. Regular and Associate members include anyone employed by a CLTA member title company. Affiliate members are those that have joined from affiliated industries that work closely with title companies.

If you are a CLTA member and have questions about how to access your profile through CLTA’s website, have a general question about membership, or are interested in joining as a CLTA Affiliate member, please reach out to Cynthia Groom at [email protected].
