Pennsylvania Mortgage Fraud Defense Lawyers
Governments tax properties and banks issue mortgages for residential and commercial properties based on real estate values. Obtaining an accurate value for taxation or mortgaging purposes is a fundamental part of any real estate transaction. When a buyer, a seller, an appraiser or a Realtor acts in a way that under- or overvalues a property or misstates use of a property, charges of real estate fraud may follow, including:
- False appraisals
- False statements of income in mortgage application documents (mortgage fraud)
- Falsified or inaccurate permit applications
- Bribery of zoning officials
Charges of real estate fraud are often brought against sellers or buyers, appraisers and Realtors when documentation is alleged to be intentionally inaccurate or falsified in some way.
A criminal conviction could be the death knell to a real estate business and can mean the loss of your real estate or appraiser's license. Take action now to protect your reputation and your freedom. Contact the Philadelphia real estate fraud defense lawyers at Boyle, Autry & Murphy.
