Reply to comment by Buck-Nasty in Real Estate Agents Caught on Camera Facilitating Mortgage Fraud for a Fee by Puzzleheaded-Bug7189

I've worked at a brokerage for years and I can not think of a single instance of this. I'm by no means saying that there aren't shady or disreputable practices out there, but I would hardly catagorize the "majority" of Realtors as perpetrators of Mortgage fraud.

It's fraud. You're not supposed to notice it. Just because no one has been caught doesn't mean it's not happening.

If it's not being noticed then how does someone notice it enough to know the majority of realtors do it?

They do investigative journalism and randomly find that 6/10 realtors are doing the thing.

Did you even read the article?

Did...did you even follow the conversation going on here? We aren't talking about the article. We're talking about a redditor. Keep up.

They (the redditor) could be involved from the realtor side, so they would notice, but the brokerage side redditor wouldn’t.

I've seen it once in 5 years, but that's what third party VOE's are for. This is all extremely easy to detect.

The investigation revealed 6/10 were doing fraud.

You may be one of the good ones but I would open my eyes way wider after seeing this report. Like, c'mon.
