First South Carolina Partnership Brings Real-Time Fraud Protection to Real Estate Professionals
November 4/2025 - REsides (REsides.io) and Property Shield (PropertyShield.co) are teaming up to give South Carolina real estate agents a serious advantage in the fight against listing fraud. This marks Property Shield's eighth MLS partnership nationwide and their first in the Palmetto State.
Here's the problem: fraudsters are constantly scraping legitimate for-sale listings and reposting them across the internet — often as fake rentals or claiming to be the property owner while advertising drastically lower prices. It's a headache for agents whose reputations are on the line, and it's devastating for consumers who fall victim to these scams.
That's where this partnership comes in. Property Shield monitors listings across every corner of the internet, identifies fraudulent postings, and gets them taken down — fast. And the best part? REsides is providing this protection to all of its subscribers at no additional cost.
"At REsides, our priority is protecting the integrity of our data and the professionals who rely on it every day," said Colette Stevenson, CEO of REsides. "Partnering with Property Shield allows us to give our subscribers a powerful tool that actively fights listing fraud in real time. This isn't just about technology — it's about trust and about giving our agents and brokers the confidence that their listings and reputations are secure."
Alexander Fahsel, CEO of Property Shield, added: "We're proud to be the industry leader in fraud protection, but also in protecting consumers from falling for these scams. We continue to partner with progressive MLSs across the country, and REsides is a perfect example of an organization that puts their subscribers and the public first."
REsides currently serves real estate professionals throughout South Carolina and Coastal Georgia and continues to expand its footprint, With Property Shield now in their corner, agents can focus on what they do best — serving clients and closing deals — while the fraud monitoring happens automatically in the background.
