About POVS

POVS was founded to help property owners reduce the risk of real estate fraud through independent ownership verification.

Our mission is to provide an additional layer of verification for property owners, title companies, lenders, attorneys, and real estate professionals while helping property owners maintain privacy and control over their personal information.

Why Ownership Verification Matters

Real estate fraud and seller impersonation schemes are increasingly targeting vacant land, inherited properties, investment properties, and properties owned by individuals who live outside the area.

When ownership cannot be quickly verified, transactions may be delayed, disputed, or require additional investigation. Independent verification helps support informed transaction decisions and provides a reliable point of contact for ownership confirmation.

  • Real Estate Fraud Is a Growing Threat

    According to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), real estate fraud resulted in more than 12,000 complaints and approximately $275 million in reported losses in 2025. Fraud schemes increasingly target vacant land, inherited property, investment properties, and absentee-owned properties.

    POVS was created to provide property owners and real estate professionals with an additional layer of ownership verification to help support informed transaction decisions.
