The Predators are Coming

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams

It is a sad truth of the market we are living. This is a great country and we are all privileged to be here but it is also a predatory country. It seems to be in the genes that the strong will prey on the weak. This market has shown the need to help a vast amount of families. What has gathered against these families are the slick talkers that will seemingly fix all their ills, for a small upfront fee.

You can't go from one corner to the next without running into a street sign, business card, flyer and even the car wraps announcing the saviors of the foreclosure market. Yes, just give them a few thousand dollars and they can try to help. Never mind that they will charge the client for something they can do themselves, like negotiate a pre-payment plan or a mortgage modification.  To me, that is shameful and I would venture to guess the participants of these schemes are probably some of the same people that put them in that position in the first place.

I think there should be more attention paid to these scam artists as the homeowners need more protection. How can they be put is such a position....again.

Sidney- I am running into it more and more. After paying a large fee, the homeowner is instructed to call a Realtor. I wish I could collect a fee for that. not really, then I would be a predatory, not a problem solver.

Sydney, In Illinois, where my practice is, there is tough legislation (HB4611) that heavily protects sellers from foreclosure rescue scams.  These crimes make our jobs as real estate professionals more difficult.
