What is real estate wire fraud, and how do I protect my proceeds on a Kennesaw sale?

Wire fraud in real estate happens when a scammer gains access to email communication around a closing and sends a seller or buyer fake instructions to redirect funds into the fraudster's own account instead of the intended one. On a Kennesaw sale, protecting proceeds means confirming any wiring instructions by phone at a number obtained independently, not one provided in the same email, and treating any last-minute change to account details as suspicious. Georgia closings go through a licensed attorney, giving sellers a verified office to call. Joel Boss raises this with every client before funds move.
