From the insideABODE archive: Troy St. George, Executive Vice President at CW Title, on seller impersonation and deed fraud (recorded June 2026).
Can someone sell a property out from under you? Troy explains how fraudsters comb county records for paid-off, non-owner-occupied homes and vacant land, then pose as the owner and try to list them. He covers why the county has to record a deed that's presented in the right format, why a forged deed doesn't actually transfer ownership, and the free alert King, Pierce, Snohomish and Kitsap counties offer: enter your email and parcel number, and the county notifies you when something records on your property.
