Short Sale Fraud

According to the California Association of Realtors, Freddi Mac is trying to crack down of short sale fraud from listing agents.  It's about time.  I have witnessed fraud many times with REO Brokers. I can assume fraud also exists amount short sales as well since fraud exists in everything at some time and in some form.  It can be very upsetting when you see your clients offer be supposedly rejected only to watch the property be purchased in house by the listing broker at a lower price.  Short Sale Fraud is the kind of practice that brings negativity to the entire industry.

Just took a Short Sale Buyer Clinic in our Market Center yesterday and they said some agents do not realize that they are in fact are being fraudulent.  

It is tough to see a property close at less than what your clients offered.

Sadly, because of industry is constantly changing; there is always ample opportunity for people to be creative in their fraudulent actions.  Hopefully, they will get their just desserts.
