*Unincorporated Cities include, but are not limited to: Alamo, Bay Point, Blackhawk, Crockett, Clyde, El Sobrante,
Kensington, Pacheco, Port Costa, Rodeo, and portions of San Pablo, Richmond, and Walnut Creek.
Wild Fire Risk & Reduction
Creating and maintaining defensible space is essential for increasing your home’s chance of surviving a wildfire. It’s the buffer that homeowners are required to create on their property between a structure and the plants, brush and trees or other items surrounding the structure that could catch fire. This space is needed to slow the spread of wildfire and improves the safety of firefighters defending your home.
Wire Fraud Scam
Beware: hackers are successfully obtaining access to information about pending sales and attempting to use email and other means to transfer funds to their own accounts.
Do not respond to or take instructions from emails, texts, or other electronic transmissions concerning the wiring or transferring of funds without confirming by telephone or other direct communications the precise instructions with someone you can positively identify.
Never wire funds prior to calling the escrow officer and/or broker at the number previously provided to you and confirming wire instructions before responding to any email or other electronic communication.
Be sure you know where funds are going because if you do not verify the legitimacy of the instructions and where the funds and there may not be insurance or other means of restitution Verify, check, and make sure you are transferring funds to legitimate escrow accounts.
