What Homebuyers Should Know About the New FinCEN Real Estate Rule
Buying a home in your own name? Nothing changes for you.
But if a purchase is made without a mortgage and the buyer is an entity or trust, a new federal rule from the U.S. Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) may apply.
Here’s the quick version:
- What FinCEN is doing: Requiring settlement agents to report certain non‑financed residential real estate transfers to help prevent money laundering.
- Who is affected: Buyers using LLCs, corporations, partnerships, or trusts — not everyday homebuyers purchasing in their personal names.
- What’s required: Basic information about the entity or trust and the individuals behind it.
- What it means for closings: It shouldn’t delay your transaction; it’s simply an added compliance step handled by your settlement team.
