Feds probe real estate agents - Apr. 22, 2005 Web CNN/Money Buying & Selling Investment Property Home Improvement Million $ Life Financing Best Places SAVE | EMAIL | PRINT | SUBSCRIBE TO MONEY | Feds probe real estate agents Money magazine investigation shows Justice Dept. looking into anticompetitive practices. April 22, 2005: 5:27 PM EDT By Jon Birger, Money Magazine NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Did you pay your real estate broker too much? The U.S. Department of Justice may be set to turn Tulsa, Okla. into a test-case for ending the stranglehold 6 percent commissions have over the real estate brokerage business. MONEY has learned that Justice's Antitrust Division is gathering information on the bully tactics that full-commission brokers in Tulsa allegedly use against their discount rivals to discourage commission-cutting. The probe follows other recent efforts to spur competition in the real estate industry. According to a copy of a Justice Department subpoena obtained by MONEY, federal investigators are seeking information on "possible anticompetitive conduct in the provision of real estate services in the Tulsa area" as well as "documents related to refusal to cooperate on real estate transactions." An Antitrust Division spokeswoman confirmed the existence of the investigation but declined to provide additional details. Al Unser, executive director of the Greater Tulsa Association of Realtors said: "We received a CID [civil investigative demand] from the Justice Dept. and we have responded." Economists who study real estate, such as the University of Cincinnati's Norm Miller, believe anti-competitive behavior is the primary explanation for the persistence of the 6 percent commission. J.D. Smith and Bob Meyer are two Tulsa discount real estate agents who say they were interviewed by federal investigators. They say the investigators wanted information on full-commission agents' alleged refusal to show home-buying clients properties listed by discount brokers -- a tactic known as boycotting. Boycotting exploits the one major weakness of the multiple listing service. The MLS's upside is that it centralizes all homes for sale in a single electronic marketplace that can be accessed by all agents -- and these days by Web-savvy consumers as well. The downside is that brokers must depend on one another to help sell their homes, and that discourages them from undercutting each other's commissions. While boycotting the listings of discounters is generally considered an antitrust violation -- if undisclosed, it's also a breach of fiduciary duty to clients -- industry insiders are well aware that boycotting goes on, even if they claim not to condone it. For Smith, the Feds' investigation comes a year or so too late. His realty business on the brink of ruin, Smith recently abandoned discount brokerage and went back to charging 6 percent. "In one week," Smith said, "I've had more showings and more offers from other realtors than I had in the previous two months." The Tulsa investigation is part of an ongoing Antitrust Division foray into the sharp-elbowed realty world. In March, the Antitrust Division sued the Kentucky Real Estate Commission over a state law that prohibits real estate brokers from offering commission rebates to consumers. More recently, Assistant Attorney General R. Hewitt Pate sent letters to lawmakers and regulators in Oklahoma and Texas, urging them to reject proposals that would effectively prohibit brokers from engaging in limited-service or fee-for-service realty -- such as listing a home for sale on the multiple listing service for a flat fee of $500. Bruce Hahn, chairman of the American Homeowners Grassroots Alliance, argues that state prohibitions on rebates and fee-for-service discourage competition and inflate commissions paid by consumers. "We've talked to Justice, and we think what they're doing is tremendous," he said. E-mail Jon Birger at jbirger@moneymail.com. The Hot List Most profitable renovations How risky is your 401(k)?

How to Make Money Buying Pre Foreclosure Properties Before They Hit the County Courthouse Steps: The Complete Guide to Finding and Buying Pre-Foreclosure Properties (Paperback) by Thomas J. Lucier (9 customer reviews) Availability: Available from these sellers . 7 used & new available from $76.95 Other Editions: List Price: Our Price: Other Offers: Paperback Order it used! Editorial Reviews Book Description Before Thomas J. Lucier wrote the first edition of How To Make Money Buying Pre-Foreclosure Properties Before They Hit The County Courthouse Steps in 1989, he was making time consuming and costly mistakes. The mistakes were inevitable; no one had written a book on how to buy pre-foreclosure properties, so Tom had to learn the hard way from his own mistakes and first hand experiences. All of the advice that he received said: "buy property on the county courthouse steps after it has been foreclosed on." But Tom eventually learned to avoid those costly courthouse-bidding wars by buying directly from property owners whose mortgage loans are in default and facing foreclosure. And the book that didn’t exist back in 1985, when Tom bought his first pre-foreclosure property, is now in its fourth revised edition. The newly revised fourth edition of How To Make Money Buying Pre-Foreclosure Properties Before They Hit The County Courthouse Steps was released on October 1, 2003, and is comprised of fourteen meaty chapters that are packed chock-full of step-by-step instructions, ready-to-use information and practical, no-nonsense advice. You’ll learn: 1. The difference between judicial and non-judicial foreclosure. 2. How the short payoff sale acquisition technique works. 3. How to get subordinate or "junior" lienholders to discount their liens by fifty percent or more. 4. How to use foreclosure notices to find all of the property owners in your county whose loans are in default and facing foreclosure. 5. How to use direct mail to contact property owners whose loans are in default. 6. How to perform due diligence on pre-foreclosure properties. 7. How to quickly verify loan information with foreclosing lenders. 8. How to accurately estimate the current market value of a pre-foreclosure property. 9. How to negotiate with property owners whose loans are in default and facing foreclosure. 10. How to properly prepare your purchase agreements and protect your interests when buying pre-foreclosure properties. 11. How to package, market and resell pre-foreclosure properties for maximum profit. 12. How to do a thorough pre-buy property inspection. 13. What you need to know about your state’s foreclosure statute when buying pre-foreclosure properties. How To Make Money Buying Pre-Foreclosure Properties Before They Hit The County Courthouse Steps has a fourteen-page chapter on the much-ballyhooed short payoff sale acquisition technique. The problem with ninety-nine percent of the short sales hype that’s currently being foisted onto an unsuspecting public, by unscrupulous real estate hucksters peddling overpriced courses and boot camp seminars, is that it’s based on misinformation, half-truths, distortions and outright lies. And unfortunately, all of this hype has fueled unrealistic expectations on the part of would-be short sale investors, who’ve been led to believe, that every lender in America will approve a short payoff sale, at the drop of a hat. Tom Lucier gives you the unvarnished truth about short payoff sales, along with detailed, step-by-step instructions on exactly how the short payoff of a mortgage or deed of trust actually works. How To Make Money Buying Pre-Foreclosure Properties Before They Hit The County Courthouse Steps comes complete with the following ready-to-use worksheets, letters, checklists, notices, forms and agreements: 1. Short payoff sale checklist. 2. Sample notice of lis pendens. 3. Sample notice of default. 4. Loan breach letter. 5. Borrower’s letter of authorization to release loan information. 6. Foreclosure lawsuit worksheet. 7. Notice of default worksheet. 8. Due diligence checklist. 9. Property tracking worksheet. 10. Short payoff sale proposal letter. 11. Six sample letters to owners in foreclosure. 12. Loan worksheet. 13. Sample HUD 1 Settlement Statement. 14. Sample Fannie Mae broker’s price opinion. 15. Request for mortgage or deed of trust estoppel letter. 16. Subordinate lienholder worksheet. 17. Current market value worksheet. 18. Letter to private mortgage or deed of trust lender. 19. Letter to subordinate lienholders. 20. Thirteen property inspection checklists. 21. Owner interview worksheet. 22. Purchase agreement. 23. Walk-around property inspection checklist. 24. Buyer's closing checklist. 25. Daily repair cost worksheet. 26. Outgoing telephone message. 27. Participating broker agreement. 28. Assignment of purchase agreement. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need a degree from Harvard Law School in order to make money buying properties directly from owners whose mortgage or deeds of trust loans are in default, and about to be sold on the county courthouse steps at a public foreclosure auction sale. Granted, finding, researching, inspecting, negotiating, buying and reselling pre-foreclosure properties is a lot of hard work. But it can be a very lucrative line of work if you really know what you’re doing, are well organized, and have the persistence that’s necessary to be a profitable investor. And, unlike the roving weekend real estate carnies, late-night, cable-TV hucksters, Internet real estate whiz kids, and a certain Harvard Business School graduate posing as a "real estate savant," Tom Lucier doesn’t claim to know-it-all, and you’ll never hear him promise to make you a pre-foreclosure property millionaire within the next thirty days. The simple fact remains that no real estate investment strategy will work unless you do!
