It can be a scary proposition these days, to give personal information to anyone.
However, when buying property, disclosing personal information is mandatory.
Building trust is the key to longevity in any business and confidentiality, should always be of the outmost importance, when dealing with a customer’s personal details.
Here are some careful steps from our friends in the industry, on what agents need to do, to keep data secure.
-
Use a trusted cloud based source to store all digital records
-
Use a service provider with multiple locations and backup servers.
-
Double check any emails from the parties involved, advising that money transfer instructions have changed
-
PDF files are at risk of having signatures stolen by hackers. Use a secure document signing service that protects your documents and shows you that a document has been tampered with
-
Keep any printed records in a securely locked container
-
When destroying paper records, use a company that destroys the records completely- even better, if they recycle the paper.
