As you may be aware, last Thursday, March 19th, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division, issued a ruling in Flowers Title Companies v. Bessent ordering “vacatur and remand” of the Residential Real Estate Reporting Rule (RRE) adopted by FinCEN and effective March 1, 2026. The court determined that FinCEN lacked the authority to require reports covered by the RRE.

What the Rule required

Under the RRE Rule, certain professionals involved in closings must file a Real Estate Report (RER) for qualifying transactions. This includes title companies, settlement agents, escrow officers, and closing attorneys.

FinCEN acknowledgement:

FinCEN has acknowledged the federal court decision, and has discontinued any RRE enforcement actions, including the filing of a real estate report. The following post appears on the FinCEN RRE website:

“In light of a federal decision, reporting persons are not currently required to file real estate reports with FinCEN and are not subject to liability if they fail to do so while the order remains in force.”

What’s next?

FinCEN has not addressed what might happen going forward with regard to any GTO or other reporting requirements. It is expected, however, that FinCEN will appeal the court’s decision.

While this guidance provides near-term clarity, uncertainty remains. Future action by FinCEN or the courts could reinstate or modify reporting requirements.

We will continue to engage with FinCEN, monitor legal and regulatory developments and keep you informed as this situation evolves.

FinCEN introduced the rule to combat illicit finance, money laundering, and anonymous real‑estate ownership, replacing years of temporary Geographic Targeting Orders with a permanent, nationwide mandate.

What the Rule Requires

Under the RRE Rule, certain professionals involved in closings must file a Real Estate Report (RER) for qualifying transactions. This includes title companies, settlement agents, escrow officers, and closing attorneys.

A transaction is reportable if all of the following are true:

The property is residential real estate.

This includes 1‑4 family homes, condos, co‑ops, townhouses, and vacant land intended for residential construction.

The buyer is a legal entity or trust.

Examples: LLCs, corporations, partnerships, estates, most trusts.

The transfer is non‑financed.

Meaning no loan from a regulated financial institution with AML requirements. Covered examples include:

• All‑cash transactions
• Seller financing
• Private/hard‑money financing from non‑AML‑regulated lenders.

There is no minimum purchase price.

Any amount, including transfers with no consideration (gifts), can trigger reporting.

What Title Companies Must Report

The Real Estate Report is extensive and must be filed through FinCEN’s BSA E‑Filing system.

Required details include:

• Property information (address, legal description)
• Buyer entity or trust details
• Beneficial owners (individuals with ≥25% ownership or substantial control)
• Documents for beneficial owners to include name, date of birth, residential address, citizenship, TIN
• Seller information
• All payment details (type, account sources, etc.)
• Identities of signers acting on behalf of entities or trusts.
• The reporting person’s full legal name, cascade role, U.S. business address
• Date of closing

Who Can Access Real Estate Reports

Real Estate Reports will be maintained by FinCEN in a secure database along with other Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) reports and, like any other BSA report, will be subject to strict limits on use and re-dissemination. Real Estate Reports will not be accessible to the general public.

Real Estate Reports are exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

When The Real Estate Report Is Due

A Real Estate Report must be filed for any reportable transfer with a closing date occurring on or after March 1, 2026. Reporting persons are not required to report transactions that meet the definition of a “reportable transfer” and that close prior to

A Real Estate Report must be filed by the last day of the month following the month in which the date of closing occurred or 30 calendar days after the date of closing, whichever is later.

Penalties For Not Reporting

Negligent violations of the rule could result in a civil penalty of, as of 2025, not more than $1,430 for each violation, and an additional civil money penalty of up to $111,308 for a pattern of negligent activity. Willful violations could result in a civil penalty of not more than the greater of the amount involved in the transaction (not to exceed $286,184) or $71,545.

There is no exception from reporting under the final rule should a transferee fail to cooperate in providing information about a reportable transfer. The final rule does not authorize the filing of incomplete reports, and a reporting person who fails to report the required information about a reportable transfer could be subject to penalties.

Office Leasing Market Continues to Improve

NAR Predicts Double-Digit Growth in Home Sales in 2026 With Prices Rising 4%

The U.S. housing market will finally turn the corner in 2026, with a double-digit increase in home sales supporting a 4% increase in home prices, according to new predictions from the National Association of Realtors®.

Home Features Buyers Want

Eco-friendly upgrades and tech amenities are trending. Features like EV charging stations, WaterSense fixtures, and biophilic design are seeing triple-digit growth in listings, signaling what buyers value most.

Whether through water conservation, renewable energy readiness, or low-impact design, buyers and builders alike are placing greener, future-focused living at the center of home value and lifestyle.

Title Industry Exploring Blockchain Technology

As municipal pilot programs prove the efficacy of the blockchain as a tool for land registries and other applications, the title industry is exploring new ways to develop and utilize the evolving technology.

“If blockchain technology has some benefit in the title world to mitigate the risk of seller impersonation fraud, I think that’s something we should be paying attention to,” VP of CATIC Zachary Kammerdeiner said recently.

Builder Sentiment Flat Nationally, Rising Slightly in the Northeast

Builder confidence in the market for newly built single-family homes rose two points to 48 in the Northeast, the Midwest fell one point to 41, the South increased three points to 34 and the West gained two points to 30, according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Housing Market Index (HMI) released 11/18/25.

When buying or selling property, one of the most important—but often overlooked—steps is verifying the Chain of Title. This is the official record of ownership for a piece of real estate, showing every transfer from the original owner to the current one.

Each time a property changes hands, a new link is added to the chain. These links are made up of legal documents like deeds and title transfers.

Why It’s Important

A clear Chain of Title ensures that:

The property is free of legal issues

There are no unpaid taxes or hidden claims

You have full ownership rights

At Quality Title & Abstract Agency, we conduct thorough title searches to uncover any potential problems before closing. It’s how we help protect your investment and give you peace of mind.
