FOREWARN, LLC, a red violet company (NASDAQ:RDVT) and the leading provider of real-time information solutions for real estate agents, today announced that Columbus REALTORS® & Columbus and Central Ohio Regional MLS have contracted to make FOREWARN® services available for the 9,000+ REALTOR® members they serve throughout the Columbus area to promote proactive real estate agent safety.
 

Available both online and through a mobile application, FOREWARN analyzes billions of data points and provides users with the ability to mitigate risks by verifying identity, searching for criminal histories, and validating information provided by potential clients -- using just a phone number. FOREWARN allows agents to properly and safely plan for showings with a higher level of confidence.

The FOREWARN services purchased by Columbus REALTORS® are available to the 9,000+ real estate agent and appraiser membership at no additional cost to individual members.

"We are thrilled to be providing this critical new benefit for our members," said Brent Swander, CEO of Columbus REALTORS®. "FOREWARN empowers agents and appraisers to quickly verify the identity of their prospects as well as potential risks. It cannot be overstated, both from a safety and fraud-prevention perspective, how important it is for members to be able to verify that a prospect is indeed who they say that they are. Utilizing FOREWARN in their safety protocol, members will be able to plan for their prospect interactions with greater peace of mind."

Existing COLUMBUS & Central Ohio Regional MLS members will receive specific instructions on how to move forward with activating their FOREWARN subscription.
