"House Jacking".......A REAL Problem!

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Realty Experts

House Jacking are 2 words that have become quite "notorious" in Southeast Missouri in the past few weeks.  It's a scheme that I am sure happens nationwide, however, in my area of the country, this scheme is being reveled!  There has been extensive news coverage on our local television channel and, with due cause, many consumers have become very wary of lenders & appraisers.  You fill find some very interesting news video clips at:  www.kfvs12.com scroll down on the left hand side under "video News Clips" to find the House Jacking Part 1, 2 & 3 stories.  As real estate professionals, we need to be informed of such practices so we can not only protect our customers, but also protect the ethical side of our profession!

Debbie,

Sadly, this problem has been around for a few years.

People who undermine othes belong in Hell!

A scary thing - when people are drowning they will grab at any thing to keep them afloat - and all reason seems to be thrown aside.

Great post - this needs to be heavily promoted for its danger.
