A friend of mine called me with the following situation, wanting advise. So I am asking for your advice.
She is the listing agent for a short sale, it is listed at $239,00. Some how an investment company got the seller's phone number. Without calling the listing agent, they negotiated a sales price of $175,000 and have supposedly signed a sales contract that has never been given to the listing agent.
Before she was told about the sales contract between the investor and the seller, she was given an offer for $235,000 for the house. The seller had said he would sign the offer for $235,000, then he quit talking to her and the investment company stated calling saying they had a contract (again, she has not seen it) and to list the house as under contract.
She asked me what she should do next, any suggestions? To me it seems like mortgage fraud.
