FinCEN act effective March 1st 2026.
With new Anti-Money Laundering regulations for residential real estate transfers taking effect on March 1, it’s important for anyone buying or selling a home to be prepared—especially if you have a closing coming up.
A quick pre-closing check can help avoid delays:
Confirm how the property is being purchased — is it under an individual name, entity, or trust?
Review financing — these rules mainly apply to non-financed (cash) purchases
Communicate early with your escrow or closing team so they can prepare in advance
