Welcome to Chicago Title
Real Estate fraud is an on-going issue that continues to be on the rise. The two main areas of real estate fraud are Mortgage Fraud and Title Fraud.

Real Estate fraud is the single biggest consumer protection issue in North America. There are no central bodies in the United States or Canada to quantify financial impact of fraud. It is estimated that this type of fraud is in the billions in the U.S and in excess of $300 million dollars per year in Canada.

We, at Chicago Title, understand the severity of this matter and acknowledge that more attention needs to be placed in this area in an attempt to bring the number of cases down. In response, we are pleased to introduce idPRO. Please click here to access the website.
