According to FinCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network), mortgage scams are at an all time high with suspicious activity reports up 31% from the first quarter of 2010. This high number is partly due to large number of recent reports of fraudulent activity happening as long as 3-4 years ago that are just now being realized. But the latest scam current homeowners should be aware of is quickly making it to the top of the headlines, highjacked mortgage payments. Here's how the scam works- The homeowner receives a letter from Bank B stating they have bought the mortgage from Bank A. It instructs the homeowner to begin sending their monthly payment to 'new' Bank B, who is now the mortgage holder. The homeowner may not think this is suspicious, as banks buy and sell mortgages to each other... 07/14/2011

Planning on Building a New Home? Having worked as an Ann Arbor Realtor for more than 20 years, I've been asked this question countless times, 'Should I use a Realtor when building a new home?'. My answer is always YES and here are just a few of the reasons why: Representation. You should always have someone on your side to represent your best interest. The onsite agent represents the builder, not you, and their goal is to make a profit for their company. You wouldn't walk into a court room without your own lawyer! Knowledge. A Realtor knows the different builders and companies in the area. They know who has a good reputation and what incentives each builder offers. Negotiations. A real estate agent can assist you in negotiating the contact. They know what the standard customs of the ar... 06/20/2011
