This course aims to educate real estate professionals on the dangers of identity theft, including how to protect themselves and their clients.  Sensitive information is passed between agents, buyers, sellers, lenders, and insurance companies; a leak of this information could lead to catastrophic damage in their life, ruining any chance they have of a successful real estate transaction.  By educating professionals in the real estate industry of identity theft risks, they can better educate their clients on the warning signs, as well as work with clients who have been through identity theft in the past.
