CertifID, the company that created the wire fraud protection category in real estate, has launched the CertifID Client Experience, a unified closing platform for homebuyers, sellers, agents and title teams. The platform integrates identity verification, document signing, payment and wire instruction delivery into a single authenticated session. The mobile-first platform eliminates email-based communication of sensitive information and incorporates fraud education at critical moments. Every interaction feeds CertifID's Fraud Engine, which currently safeguards over $300 billion in real estate transactions annually. Founded after co-founders Tom Cronkright and Lawrence Duthler lost $180,000 to wire fraud in 2015, CertifID is expanding beyond fraud prevention to secure the entire closing process. CEO Tyler Adams said companies using CertifID now provide clients with both protection and the industry's best closing experience.

CertifID, a wire fraud protection platform for real estate, has appointed Josh Linn as Chief Product Officer and Liz Conn as Chief Marketing Officer following its $47.5 million Series C round led by Centana Growth Partners. The company has blocked over $285 million in confirmed fraudulent transactions in 2025, verified over 1.5 million mortgage payoffs, and returned more than $126 million to fraud victims to date. Linn brings over 20 years of experience in banking, payments and identity verification, most recently from Socure. He will lead product, design and data strategy. Conn joins from Sayari, where she served as SVP of Marketing, and will drive brand awareness around wire fraud threats. The appointments support CertifID's expansion as wire fraud sophistication increases in the AI era.
