Easy Preparation for Real Estate Reporting
Follow our Easy 5-Step Checklist to Be Ready for Real Estate Reports
FinCEN extended the launch of Real Estate Reporting by only 90 days to 3/1/2026.
Follow our 5-step checklist below with free resources to ensure your team is fully prepared for FinCEN filing. Eliminate liability, costs, stress, and time burdens with our easy FinCEN plan below.
Train your team on FinCEN filing for free
Reserve your spot in our free webinar and get your team up to speed on FinCEN’s new rules. In just one hour, you’ll learn everything you need to know about the new reporting requirements and how to prepare with confidence.
Know when to start reports with free exemption checkers
Starting RER reports on every deal frustrates customers. Most exemptions don’t require their input, and only about 15% of transactions actually need a FinCEN filing. With the free printable guide and exemption checker, staff can confirm any transaction in under a minute and catch changes before closing.
Get a customer notice form to prepare customers for filing
Let customers know about the filing in advance, what it is, what to expect, and how simple you have made the process. Use our free notice templates in PDF or email form to set expectations early and reduce customer objections before collecting report information. You can also share this page to explain who’s a beneficial owner on reports.
Plan automation or a full filing service to manage reports
Automate filings or hand them off to experts who have managed more than 150,000 FinCEN reports. FinCEN rules often create tricky questions that our support team can handle for you. Offloading information collection, customer support, and filing can cut costs by up to 80% and reduce time by 98%. Book a demo to see how it works.
Don't incur costs for full-service FinCEN reporting
Most settlement providers plan to pass filing costs through to closing in states where allowed for the best customer experience. Where not allowed, our solution can collect payments from buyers directly. Book a demo to see how you can offload filings with no cost to you and choose plans where you only pay if your deal closes.
Preparing for the Real Estate Report
Quick Summary of FinCEN's RRE Residential Real Estate Reporting Rule
Get ready for FinCEN’s new RRE (Residential Real Estate) Reporting requirements starting 3/1/2026 for cash residential closings.
Which transactions must settlement agents report to FinCEN starting March 2026?
Starting March 2026, settlement agents must report ALL residential real estate transactions where:
• The buyer is an LLC, corporation, trust, or other legal entity (not an individual)
• The purchase is made without a traditional bank loan (such as using cash, crypto, seller financing, private loans, etc.)
• The property is 1-4 family residential real estate anywhere in the U.S.
• No exemption applies. Exemptions are listed here.
Note: There is now price minimum. Even $1 sales must be reported if they do not have an exemption.
You can check transactions for filing requirements and exemptions quickly here.
What information must I collect from buyers and sellers for the RER form?
The RER form can include up to 111 fields as specified by FinCEN (31 CFR §1031.320, April 2024), with typically about 60% of these fields needed for standard transactions. The total number of required fields varies based on the complexity and specific details of each transaction. This report is dynamic and different fields are required depending on transaction details such as party type.
If you need to collect this information securely or offload this process to a filing service, you can find pricing here.
Some details include, but are not limited to, the following:
Buyer (Transferee):
If an individual: Full legal name, residential address, identification number (SSN or foreign ID), date of birth, citizenship.
If an entity: Entity’s full legal name, address of principal business, EIN or foreign tax ID. Beneficial owners’ details (individuals with substantial control or owning 25% or more of the entity) including full names, dates of birth, addresses, citizenship, and identification numbers (SSN or foreign IDs). Signer details are also required.
If a trust: Trust’s full legal name, date trust executed, IRS TIN or foreign tax ID, revocable status, and detailed beneficial owner information (trustees, beneficiaries with significant rights, grantors, or settlors with revocation rights). Trustee details include full name, address, citizenship, and identification numbers.
Seller (Transferor):
If an individual: Full legal name, date of birth, residential address post-settlement, and identification number (SSN or foreign ID).
If an entity: Full legal name, trade name (if applicable), principal business address, EIN or foreign tax ID.
If a trust: Trust’s full legal name, date of trust execution, IRS TIN or foreign jurisdiction tax ID, and detailed trustee information including names, addresses, citizenship, and identification numbers.
Person Providing Payment (if different from the buyer):
Name
Payment amount
Payment method (wire transfer, check, etc.)
Bank details (bank name, account numbers)
The FincenRealEstateReport.com portal simplifies this process by automatically exporting completed RER forms, similar to how current GTO CTR forms are managed.
How and when must Real Estate Reports be filed to FinCEN? What are the deadlines?
Real Estate Reports (RER) must be filed electronically with FinCEN using the official PDF form starting December 1, 2025. The reporting process involves clearly communicating the filing requirements to all parties, collecting detailed buyer, seller, and payment information, securely storing this data for five years, and filling out the PDF form. Completing these forms typically takes 2 to 6.5 hours, depending on transaction complexity. You can reduce this time to 10 minutes with software or offload it completed with a managed service.
The filing deadline is the last day of the month following the month when the closing occurred, or 30 calendar days after closing, whichever is later. In practice, this gives reporting persons approximately 30 to 60 days to file each report.
We recommend having transaction parties sign a Transaction Form that has them attest to the accuracy of the information, protects settlement agent liability and authorizes passing compliance costs to settlement statements.
How do I limit my liability around these filings or include compliance costs on settlement statements?
You can limit your liability related to FinCEN Real Estate Report filings and recover compliance costs through the following methods:
1. Use a Certification Form:
Require buyers and sellers to complete and sign a certification form clearly stating they are responsible for providing accurate information. This establishes reasonable reliance criteria, as it documents that your firm relied on information explicitly certified by transaction parties. This form can also authorize passing through FinCEN compliance costs to settlement statements.
Recommended form: Real Estate Report Certification Form (modify template as needed)
2. Clearly Document Reasonable Reliance:
Under FinCEN guidelines, you can demonstrate reasonable reliance by:
Obtaining a written certification from transaction parties verifying the accuracy of provided details.
Ensuring the certification explicitly holds the signatories accountable for false or misleading information.
Retaining these signed certifications securely for at least five years as evidence of your firm’s diligence.
3. Use Software or a Managed Filing Service:
Utilize specialized software or a managed filing service to streamline compliance. These solutions collect information securely, offer quick digital attestations of liability and accuracy, track deadlines for any number of filings, and manage record-keeping requirements.
Alternatively, managed services can fully handle filings, offloading the compliance process entirely from your firm and further reducing liability exposure.
How do I quickly check if transactions require reporting? Are there exemptions for some transactions?
You can quickly determine if transactions require reporting with this tool or check the detailed list of exemptions here. We recommend bookmarking these pages for quick reference later.
How much time do Real Estate reports require and how can software reduce the time?
Real Estate Reports (RER) filings typically require 2+ hours per transaction, according to FinCEN’s April 2024 estimate but the process can be completely offloaded with managed filing services.
This time includes gathering details from buyers, sellers, beneficial owners, and payment sources, accurately filling out the PDF form, verifying accuracy, and submitting electronically. Complex cases with multiple parties or payments often exceed 4–6 hours.
However, software like significantly cut down filing time to just 5 to 10 minutes with features such as:
Automated Data Extraction: Upload settlement statements, commitments, deeds or contract documents to auto-fill forms.
Digital Party Invitations: Securely invite parties to submit their details directly online, with optional ID uploads, identity checks and accuracy sign-offs.
Office Management Dashboards: Easily track report statuses and deadlines for any amount of filings with automated reminders to transaction parties.
One-click PDF Export: Quickly generate completed FinCEN PDFs ready for submission.
Using specialized compliance software drastically reduces the manual effort and time required for these mandatory filings.
