Part 2 FinCEN 2026: What Agents MUST Do to Protect Their Escrows

FinCEN 2026: What Agents MUST Do to Protect Their Escrows The new Financial Crimes Enforcement (FinCEN) regulation goes into effect March 1, 2026 — and if you’re working with cash buyers or entity purchases, this directly impacts you. In my last video, I explained what the rule is and who it affects. In this one, we’re talking strategy: What should you, as the agent, be doing right now to stay ahead of it? Because here’s what’s coming: If a buyer is purchasing all cash (or cash-equivalent financing) and in a legal entity or trust, escrow will be required to collect extensive personal information from both buyer and seller before closing. That means: Mid-escrow entity changes could seriously delay closing Cash deals may no longer mean “quick close” Sellers receiving entity cash offers need to understand the reporting requirement Communication upfront is more critical than ever In this video, we break down: ✔️ The new buyer consultation questions you should start asking now ✔️ How to prepare investors and entity buyers ✔️ Why sellers need to understand what comes with certain offers ✔️ How this could impact your closing timelines You may not be responsible for filing the report — escrow handles that — but you are responsible for setting expectations and protecting your transaction. If you work with investors, trusts, or cash buyers, this is one change you cannot ignore. Let me know your thoughts on this new requirement — are your clients ready for it?
