Real Estate Fraud
As a litigation law firm, we understand that real estate fraud can be a serious problem for individuals and businesses. We know that it typically involves deceptive practices in real estate transactions, such as mortgage fraud, misrepresentation of property values, and other types of fraudulent behavior. We also know that real estate fraud can be perpetrated by individuals, real estate agents, brokers, or other parties involved in the transaction.
Common types of Real Estate Fraud
Mortgage Fraud
Mortgage fraud occurs when an individual or group provides false information on a mortgage application in order to obtain a loan for which they do not qualify. This can include falsifying income or asset information, providing false employment verification, or misrepresenting the purpose of the loan. Mortgage fraud can result in significant financial losses for lenders, investors, and homeowners.
Foreclosure Fraud
Foreclosure fraud involves the use of deceptive or illegal practices by lenders or foreclosure rescue companies to take advantage of homeowners who are facing foreclosure. This can include charging exorbitant fees, promising to modify loans but failing to do so, or inducing homeowners to sign over their deeds to the property under false pretenses.
Title Fraud
Title fraud occurs when a fraudster poses as the owner of a property and sells it to an unsuspecting buyer. The fraudster may forge documents to transfer the property or use stolen identity information to obtain a loan secured by the property. This can leave the rightful owner without title to their property and facing significant financial losses.
