Are You the Victim of Real Estate Fraud?
When purchasing a home, business or other type property, it’s understandable
that most people must rely almost entirely on their agent or broker to
lead them in the right direction. Unfortunately, that puts most people
in a very vulnerable position. Real estate fraud occurs when a person
knowingly misrepresents the facts in order to take advantage of another
individual.
Real estate fraud can happen at any point during the transaction process.
In order to prevent fraud or uncover fraud, it is strongly advised that

Common Types of Real Estate Fraud
In general, real estate matters can be highly complicated, making it even
easier for creative and dishonest individuals to take advantage of others
and cover their tracks. In fact, many victims do not even realize that
they have been cheated out of thousands or even millions of dollars until
years later.
Some of the more common types of real estate fraud include, but are by
no means limited to, the following:
Title Transfer
Victims of foreclosure fraud may be misled into signing over the title
to their home to a supposed foreclosure consultant who promises to rent
the property back to owner.
Phantom Help Scam
A company promises to help a homeowner avoid foreclosure by negotiating
with the bank, but doesn’t actually do anything.
