🚨 Big News in Real Estate Compliance 🚨
A federal court has vacated FinCEN’s new Residential Real Estate Rule — instantly pausing reporting requirements nationwide.

But here’s the twist… this pause may not last. An appeal or stay could bring the rule back at any moment, leaving title companies and real estate pros in limbo.

South Florida, especially, now faces a rare gap in AML oversight after years under GTOs.
In short:
You don’t have to file right now — but staying ready is the smart move.

Anyone who has played musical chairs knows the rules: the music plays, the players circle, and then abruptly… it stops. Those who find a seat are safe.

If you thought FinCEN belonged in Netflix thrillers like The Night Agent, think again. As of March 1, 2026, its new Residential Real Estate Rule just became very real for anyone closing deals in Florida.

Title companies, settlement agents, and attorneys are now required to collect and report sensitive ownership and financial data on certain all‑cash, entity‑based purchases — turning everyday closings into federal compliance checkpoints.

👉 If you work in Florida real estate, you need to understand how this rule affects your closings starting now.

If you’ve been watching The Night Agent Season 3 on Netflix, in which FBI operative Peter Sutherland hunts a rogue FinCEN analyst across Istanbul while unraveling a money-laundering conspiracy tied to shell companies and Suspicious Activity Reports, you might be tempted to dismiss the Financial Cr...

The rules just changed for home sellers. 🏠📋

A new anti-money laundering rule from FinCEN took effect March 1 — and for the first time, it applies to sellers, not just buyers.

If the buyer of residential real property is an entity or a trust and you’re closing a cash deal, both the buyer and seller will now need to disclose personal and private information to FinCEN.

Our team at Oppenheim Law and are ready to guide you through this new landscape.

“I think some form of regulation is needed, but to the extent this is kind of overreaching at this point to gather all this information.” — Geoffrey Sherman, Weston Title & Escrow

Geoffrey Sherman, General Counsel of our affiliated title company Weston Title & Escrow, was featured in Homes.com News explaining the real-world impact at the closing table:
