Reporting persons are not currently required to file real estate reports with FinCEN and are not subject to liability if they fail to do so while the order remains in force. What this means for buyers and sellers: At this time, real estate transactions can proceed without additional FinCEN reporting requirements. While this rule may be reinstated or revised in the future, there is currently no action required from buyers or sellers related to this reporting.
