Safeguard Your Property with Georgia’s FANS Service - Meck Johnson

Safeguard Your Property with Georgia's FANS Service

As a real estate broker, one of my key responsibilities is to ensure that you, as a property owner, are well-informed and protected against potential risks. Today, I want to introduce you to an innovative service offered by the Georgia Superior Court Clerks’ Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA) – the Filing Activity Notification System (FANS). This system is a significant step forward in safeguarding your property against deed theft and fraudulent activities.

What is FANS?

FANS is a state-of-the-art notification service designed to alert property owners about filings related to their real estate and personal property. This system is especially crucial in today’s era, where property fraud, particularly deed theft, has become increasingly sophisticated.

How Does FANS Work?

Upon opting into this voluntary system, FANS sends electronic notifications to you whenever a document related to your property is filed, indexed, and transmitted by Clerks of Superior Court across Georgia. This service is designed to match the notification criteria you set, ensuring that you receive relevant and timely alerts.

Why is FANS Important?

1. Prevent Deed Theft: Deed theft occurs when someone illegally changes ownership of your property by filing fraudulent deeds. FANS alerts you of such filings, enabling you to take prompt action.

1. Stay Informed: Whether you are a homeowner, investor, or a stakeholder in the real estate industry, staying informed about filings related to your property is crucial for proactive management.

1. Peace of Mind: Knowing that you will be notified of any filing activity offers a sense of security and control over your property.

How to Enroll in FANS?

Enrolling in FANS is straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Visit the GSCCCA website, https://fans.gsccca.org.

1. Navigate to the FANS enrollment page.

1. Set your notification criteria based on your property and personal details.

1. Receive alerts for any future filings that match your criteria.

Conclusion

The FANS service is a testament to Georgia’s commitment to protecting property owners. As a real estate professional, I strongly recommend enrolling in FANS to safeguard your valuable assets. If you have any questions or need assistance with the enrollment process, feel free to reach out to me. Together, let’s ensure the security and integrity of your property investments.
