Residential Real Estate Rule

RRE Hero Banner

ALERT: In light of a federal court 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.

The Department of the Treasury has long recognized that the illicit use of residential real estate threatens U.S. economic and national security and can disadvantage those that seek to compete fairly in the U.S. real estate market. This reporting requirement is designed to increase transparency in the U.S. residential real estate sector and to combat and deter money laundering.
