Document shredding for Real Estate & Title Offices
Anyone who receives a credit report or pre-approval is covered by the FACTA Disposal Rule. A closing packet contains nearly everything an identity thief wants. A Nevada mortgage broker was fined personally and audited for ten years over 40 boxes of files in a dumpster.
Who this is for
Brokerages, individual agents, title and escrow companies, appraisers and mortgage brokers.
What needs shredding
Closing packets, purchase agreements, pre-approval letters, credit reports, copies of IDs and bank statements, earnest-money records and appraisal files.
The rule that applies
FACTA — and the certificate of destruction that documents you followed it.
What we recommend
Quarterly purges of closed transactions past retention, plus a console at the front desk. We also serve agents working from home offices with one-time pickups.

Can agents bring their own files to the office purge?
Yes. Round them up and we will shred everything in one visit.
Do you serve home offices?

How long should we keep closing files?
Most brokerages keep them three to seven years; ask your broker or attorney. We shred whatever has aged out.
