MIBOR is thrilled to announce a complimentary proactive safety and lead intelligence service for all MIBOR REALTOR^® members!

FOREWARN brings intelligence to the real estate industry through innovative solutions to help ensure safer engagements and smarter interactions.   

The FOREWARN application gives an agent the ability to gain instant insight on a prospective client (within seconds, without exposing any protected class information) using only a phone number!  Don’t have a phone number… you can also search by name.  

Instantly verify:

• Identity (first name, last name, alias, and age)
• Phone numbers (residential and mobile history)
• Address history (rental, ownership, and associated addresses) 
• Financial indicators (bankruptcy, lien, judgement, and foreclosure history)
• Property records (nationwide property ownership history)
• Criminal records (nationwide criminal history search)

Verifying your prospects in FOREWARN is not only critical for your personal safety and efficiency, but also a benefit to your listing homeowners, providing an added layer of protection for their homes and families. 

It takes just a few minutes to set-up your FOREWARN account. To get started, click here and enter your email address when prompted to do so. Note: Be sure to use the same email address that this email was sent to as it will serve as your FOREWARN ‘Username’.

IMPORTANT – COMPLIANCE: 

As a professionally licensed agent, you can use FOREWARN to verify the identity and potential risks associated with your business prospects. Please note that you must limit your FOREWARN searches to professional use only. FOREWARN is only to be used for verifying inbound prospects that have initiated the interaction, such as when a potential buyer or seller have contacted you or initiated a request for information. The FOREWARN service is not to be used for marketing (e.g. prospecting for potential leads/clients) or to determine anyone’s eligibility for credit, insurance, or employment, or for any other purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Search activity is actively monitored by FOREWARN (search terms and volume) to ensure proper use by FOREWARN Subscribers as outlined in the FOREWARN Subscriber Agreement and the FOREWARN Terms and Conditions. Any use that is outside of the outlined proper usage that you agree to upon activating your account is prohibited and can result in your service being terminated. The specific compliance and use terms can be viewed here (https://www.forewarn.com/termsandconditions/), however below are a few examples of ways you should NOT use FOREWARN: 

• DO NOT use FOREWARN to search for anyone who is not engaging in business with you (including, but not limited to celebrities, public figures, friends, family). 

• DO NOT share information from FOREWARN, or your FOREWARN access credentials, with any third-party and DO NOT publicly post such information. 

• DO NOT tell a prospect that they are not permitted, or unqualified, to purchase or sell a property because of information you obtain from FOREWARN. 

• DO NOT use information from FOREWARN to harass or intimidate anyone, or to otherwise violate applicable laws.   

The above examples are NOT meant to be all-encompassing, and you should refer to the FOREWARN Subscriber Agreement and the FOREWARN Terms and Conditions for additional information. FOREWARN is a powerful tool intended for the increased safety and efficiency of your business. Proper use of the service by real estate professionals ensures that we can continue to provide this valuable tool to the industry.
