Leveraging powerful analytics and a massive data repository, FOREWARN solutions enable real estate professionals to gain real-time knowledge, for purposes such as verifying identity, searching for criminal histories, and validating information provided by potential clients such as financial and asset information. Verifying your prospects in FOREWARN is not only critical for your personal safety and efficiency, but also a benefit to your listing homeowners, providing an added layer of protection for their homes and families.
In addition to giving the ability to gain instant insight on a prospective client, FOREWARN is also a multi-dimensional tool that can be utilized in other areas of your business to help you be the best real estate professional you can be while helping to keep you safe in the process.
NOTE: If you already have an “active” FOREWARN account, you do not need to open a new account. There will be no interruption of service with your current active account. Individuals who had an individual account that was not provided to them from their associations, FOREWARN will close out your individual accounts and move you to Hawai‘i REALTORS® (no interruption of service nor do you need to establish a new account as long as your email matches what Hawai‘i REALTORS® has for you).
As a professionally licensed agent, you can use FOREWARN to verify the identity and potential risks associated with your business prospects. Please note that you must limit your FOREWARN searches to professional use only. FOREWARN is only to be used for verifying inbound prospects that have initiated the interaction, such as when a potential buyer or seller have contacted you or initiated a request for information. The FOREWARN service is not to be used for marketing (e.g. prospecting for potential leads/clients) or to determine anyone’s eligibility for credit, insurance, or employment, or for any other purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Search activity is actively monitored (search terms and volume) to ensure proper use by our Subscribers as outlined in the Subscriber Agreement and the FOREWARN Terms and Conditions. Any use that is outside of the outlined proper usage that you agree to upon activating your account is prohibited and can result in your service being terminated.
