Realtor becomes Squatter - Realtor has Squatters Rights in Florida Apparently and NAR they Don't Care.

A story of Squatter Rights in Florida.

Squatters rights sound sick indeed, I guess every state is different. In Montana I had this happen and the local judge said to post a 24 hour notice, and then you could go in after that with a cop to take possession.

I know there are laws about living on a property Adversely where you can somehow file title after 5 years. Sick but true.

However, today we have a story from Florida where a Realtor has changed the locks of a Eldery man's home, and she is living in the home. She claims squatters rights, has moved in others and has big dogs.

This is a Perfect example of NAR standards, now how does a Non-Realtor file an Ethics Complaint against a Realtor, well they don't really. Who helps Real Estate Consumers in situations such as this? Well I am use to NAR, and the local Realtor Associations doing Nothing. We are about to find out if Florida Senior Advocates, Elder Abuse Advocates, Florida Real Estate Regulators, NAR, Florida Association of Realtors or anyone Really will help these folks to GET this Realtor out of this home.

Squatters Rights, Really? Does NAR Condone Such Behavior. Apparently they Do.

Does the National Association of Realtors even really care what their members are doing all day everyday that are directly opposite of their so Called Higher Standards and Play Pretend Pinky Swear Ethics?

Below is the Story Sent to Me today, we will be adding more to this story as we EXPOSE all involved, Stay Tuned our our Realtor Whistleblower Network.

HERE is the STORY as Sent to ME

I found out today that I have a dear friend in trouble (Marge)- the woman volunteers for The Society of St. Vincent DePaul (our mission is to provide all kinds of help to those in real need), she is retired and a good friend of my family.My mother and she are neighbors in a gated community in Naples, Florida. Long story short - they are neighbors of a man who was diagnosed with stage 4 bone cancer.

He is British and wanted to return to England to live out what time he has left. He hired a realtor from Downing Frye to sell his home.

The realtor allegedly asked the owner if she could Live in the house while she showed it???? He supposedly said yes. She has no lease- she pays no rent.

She apparently neglected to tell him that she was bringing along at least two other people and three large dogs. Marge and other neighbors called the owner - who asked the realtor to leave.

She promptly told them that she has squatter's rights and needs notice. When the squatters rights for Florida scenarios was checked out - they found out that she was right and could be in the house anywhere from 3 mos. to a year and has to be served official papers and given ample time to be evicted.

Apparently this past weekend - Marge and another neighbor found out that this realtor had changed all of the locks on the premises and rearranged all of the furniture and the house. They informed the owner.

He asked Marge and Nancy to please change the locks (he is still in England with bone cancer)They saw that a back window was open - (they both had original keys to the house since they had cared for it before) .

They called the locksmith and had the locks changed.

The squatter/realtor comes home. Calls the police - tells police that someone broke into the house and stole valuable items including all of her jewelry. One cop sided with Marge and Nancy - the other with said realtor.

She is pressing charges for breaking and entering and theft. Nancy and Marge are each meeting with attorneys tomorrow.

Marge is 74, a wonderful person, and very upset.

Are there not rules against realtors becoming squatters? Is that not a conflict of interest? What would give her any incentive to sell the house at all? Paying no rent, very nice home, gated community with a beautiful clubhouse and other amenities? Is that not ground to lose a license?

I know there are squatters and the situation is getting worse because of all of the vacant houses - but this woman misrepresented herself - she said she was a realtor (and is)but took advantage of a client and under false pretenses - who is suffering through the last of his life with a very painful disease.
