Fraud Victim

Real Estate Fraud Victim Law

Real estate fraud is any false statement made on a loan application, real estate document, real property presentation or other misleading information intended to defraud another party. Some victims of real estate fraud are eligible for legal protection and possible civil litigation remedies. Those committing real estate fraud can be criminal charged or be the target of lawsuits.

Real Estate Fraud Legal Issues:

Victims of real estate fraud can lose large investments, assume others debt unknowingly, be held liable for other parties fraud or receive higher payment amounts than presented. Real estate fraud can result in lost wealth, property foreclosure, bankruptcy and damaged credit ratings.

Some real estate fraud schemes are:

• "Property flipping" where a buyer pays a low price for a property and then quickly resells it for a higher price
• Two sets of settlement statements where one statement reflects the sale of the property and the second statement fraudulently shows a higher sale price.
• Fraudulent qualifications where real estate agents help buyers fabricate their credit history or employment history.
• Misrepresentation of terms or conditions of sale or lending agreement
• Withholding important information to a sale, such as structural damage, permits or liens.

Victims of real estate fraud can end up losing their homes or come close to bankruptcy since they are unable to pay the high interest rates on their mortgages.
