These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence
Our research confirms Asrani Group operates as a genuine luxury real estate team in Houston, affiliated with Compass brokerage, with 64 five-star client ratings on HAR.com, active Yelp and Realtor.com listings, and a verified physical address. The team has no scam reports, complaints, or fraud history across multiple search channels. However, six antivirus engines—BitDefender, CyRadar, Fortinet, G-Data, Lionic, and ADMINUSLabs—flag the domain as phishing or malicious, with an overall reputation score of 0. The hosting IP shows no abuse history, SSL is valid, and there are no redirect tricks or domain spoofing indicators. This disconnect suggests either a false-positive detection cascade (common when a legitimate site is newly registered or shares infrastructure with flagged content) or a temporary misconfiguration that triggered security filters. The absence of any phishing complaints or credential-harvest reports in the evidence package supports the false-positive hypothesis, but the volume of engine detections cannot be ignored.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The site represents Asrani Group, a luxury real estate team based in Houston, Texas. The team is led by Vic Asrani and Karishma Asrani and is affiliated with Compass real estate brokerage. The business maintains active listings, market reports, and client testimonials across multiple platforms.

Infrastructure

Hosting IP 107.180.116.153 has a clean abuse score (0/100) with no reported abuse history. SSL certificate is valid (Let's Encrypt R12) with 48 days remaining. No redirects, homoglyphs, or cross-domain tricks detected. The domain does not appear in global traffic indexes, suggesting limited organic search visibility.

Domain History

WHOIS data is unavailable, so domain age cannot be confirmed from registration records. However, the business has an established presence on HAR.com, Realtor.com, Yelp, and Instagram, indicating operational history beyond a few days or weeks.

Web Reputation

Six antivirus engines flag the domain as phishing or malicious (BitDefender, CyRadar, Fortinet, G-Data, Lionic, ADMINUSLabs), while browser blocklists remain clean. Independent trust-rating aggregators returned no data. Our research found zero scam reports, zero complaints, and four positive client reviews across HAR.com and Yelp. Business registration is confirmed active in the United States with a physical address in Houston.

Risk Factors
5
  • Six antivirus engines flag the domain as phishing or malicious, including tier-1 detectors BitDefender and Fortinet.
  • Domain reputation score is 0, indicating poor standing in security databases.
  • WHOIS data unavailable, preventing verification of domain age and registration details.
  • Domain not indexed in global traffic rankings, suggesting minimal legitimate web presence or recent registration.
  • Phishing detection by multiple engines without corresponding phishing complaints in evidence suggests possible false-positive cascade or infrastructure misconfiguration.
Positive Signals
5
  • Business registration confirmed active in the United States with verified physical address in Houston, Texas.
  • Four positive client reviews on HAR.com and Yelp with consistent praise for service quality and expertise.
  • HAR.com shows 64 client surveys with uniform 5/5 ratings across competency, knowledge, communication, and experience.
  • Hosting IP has clean abuse score (0/100) with zero abuse reports.
  • No scam reports, fraud complaints, or negative reviews found across multiple search channels.
AI Recommendation
The antivirus detections warrant caution, but the strong business registration, verified client reviews, and zero fraud complaints suggest this is likely a legitimate real estate business experiencing false-positive security flags. Contact the team directly via their phone number (832.915.0011) or physical address to verify before engaging, and monitor your account if you do transact with them.
