Real Estate Fraud

San Diego, California Real Estate Fraud

A real estate transaction is a complex legal matter that requires attention to detail and knowledge of real estate law. When brokers, lenders, and developers misrepresent themselves and commit real estate fraud, you need the type of representation our lawyers provide at Emge & Associates in San Diego, California.

Many real estate fraud cases we handle involve hidden fees or real estate professionals making claims that are simply not true. ($35,000,000 settlement in Shrestha v. Coldwell Banker).  Hidden fees not disclosed by a real estate broker, mortgage broker or escrow agent can make an affordable real estate purchase beyond what your budget can handle. Why should others illegally profit off of your transaction?

Our cases have also included class action claims against condominium developers who advertise certain aspects of a development to help pre-sell the project even though those claims are false. ($1,900,000 settlement in Cherepon v. Intergulf).  Amenities are sometimes exaggerated or even made up to lure prospective buyers to the project. From rooftop terraces to parking spots to the size and quality of the property, those real estate professionals involved in the marketing and sale of properties need to be held accountable for their actions when they make false claims.

Real estate is probably the most expensive purchase you will make in your lifetime. Careful thought and even more careful examination of the documents is needed, preferably by a seasoned real estate attorney who can spot fraud. If you have been a victim of real estate fraud, we will represent you and any others who have been victims of contract fraud or mortgage fraud.
