Who would you report shady deals to?

[mike92104]

[quote=Rustico]You would hope so, EconProf.

Mike, I don’t feel comfortable putting the listing agents name out. It has always been my policy not to risk being a e-gossip about the participants in listings. Your agent should be glad to give you that information.I would give the info via email if you still want it. [/quote]

I wasn’t looking for the name of the agent. I was interested in the phone number for the brokerage she is working for to complain more in general about a shady deal within their company. The company was listed on the SDLookup page, but I couldn’t find a number.

BTW it is already listed as sale pending.

I meant to say broker,Mike. It does sound like a fishy deal. Good luck.

run a google search for todd lackner, he is a san diego appraiser that has been working for/consulting with regulators and law enforcement and he’s gotten a lot done. Here’s an article but there are tons of them, a little digging and you should find some contact info, he should be able to direct you to the right place or might be interested himself.

and one by kelly bennet on vosd, she posts here so e-mailing her should get you in touch with todd if he’s not listed in the phone book.

I was fraternity brothers with todd in college, he’s a good dude, I’d give you his info myself or tell you to tell him i sent you but that would blow my cover as an international man of mystery so you gotta get it on your own.

My last question is why is this a shady deal, seems to be priced right at $203 a foot in mira mesa for a circa 1970’s, but if you say that’s a screaming deal that it must be a scam, i’ll take your word for it and offer my condolences, please wait on those at least another year, that thing has 200k written all over it. I found a neighbor house with a 175k 1999 price, I’d say 250k is overpriced.

Yes indeed it looks very shady. However just to correct something Mike. Yes the purchase was recorded in 2006 and they owe 475k not 380k. They financed the original purchase 100%. Second the interspousal deed was recorded back in 2006 so it is not like they just did the interspousal deed recently to list the property.

The extra low listing price is an eyeopener. I would venture to guess that it was done in order to get a bidding war. The home is not in default but it is a short sale. The listing agent does have both sides. Funny they listed it as pending because I would imagine there is no way they have approval on the short sale yet unless they got a heck of an offer.

So from that standpoint yeah I would be skeptical as well. The listing agent works for a mortgage brokerage.
