For real estate, title companies & law firms
A closing only goes wrong once for it to be unrecoverable
Real estate closings are the sharpest version of this fraud — a first-time buyer, a large one-time wire, and criminals who know exactly when to strike. Adlerwacht protects the document, not just the warning.
Built for anyone who sends closing or wire documents by email
Real estate agents, title and escrow companies, and law firms handling closings or M&A all send the same thing by email: a document with wire instructions, to someone who has never received one from you before, for a transaction that only happens once. That first-time, one-shot pattern is exactly what this was built to protect.
What it protects, specifically
Reported annual wire-fraud losses in U.S. real estate have grown from $9 million to $446 million in under a decade. Title and law firms lose a median of $257,000 per incident — and only 19% of victims ever recover any of it.
- Closing documents and wire instructions — never sitting in an inbox a hacked account could quietly read or copy.
- Delivery to the actual buyer, seller, or their counsel — not whoever happens to control that inbox on closing day.
- The wire instructions themselves — delivered exactly as written, with no account number silently swapped in transit.
Why this vertical is the sharpest case
A first-time home buyer's closing is, by definition, the first and only time they'll ever receive wire instructions from this title company or this law firm — there's no prior relationship to compare the email against, and no natural moment where a phone call to double-check feels routine. Criminals target exactly this moment: they read the closing timeline from a compromised inbox, then send the wire instructions moments before the real ones arrive, with one number changed.
Why real estate and legal professionals choose Adlerwacht
Near-zero IT setup
No new software for your title production system or practice management tool to integrate with — documents are protected without changing how your office already works.
End-to-end protection for a one-shot relationship
Every recipient unlocks their document with a passkey, not a password. Because a closing is almost always a first-time contact, the SMS-verified check — confirmed by a real person at your firm — closes exactly the gap that makes real estate closings the highest-value target in this entire category.
Priced for a firm, not a fortune
Plans start at €79 a month, with identity verification for every new buyer or client relationship included by default — next to a median loss of $257,000 per incident in this exact industry, the math isn't close.
