RENTAL SCAM --- Fresno Police Arrest Former Realtor.

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Lazarus Realty

Fresno Police recently arrested former Realtor© Sam Haley for allegedly renting out homes he didnt own. 

You can read the full story here.

What stuck with me from the story is that the guy was telling the renters that the homes were in foreclosure and that they might have to move quickly when the house sold, but it was OK because he guaranteed them he could get them into another home, which of course, in this market is easy...lol.  just move them into another vacant pre-foreclosure.

I suppose one could make the argument that Mr. Haley was making the "highest and best use" of the property...lol

Well Kenneth, we can choose our friends, but we cant choose our family. Hope this situation give you an oportunity to reunite with him.  What he did sucks and I'm sure he'll feel the full weight of the law and while it may be damaging to your name it is in no way a reflection of your character (unless you choose to make it so).  I hope all goes well with you
