Real estate fraud exposed

Be a hero in the neighborhood: stop real estate fraud.
Stopping real estate fraud requires awareness, consciousness and guts to expose those you know to be fraudulent transactions.
A neighborhood association in North Minneapolis successfully abated the illegal practices of Jonathan Helgason, a licensed realtor and Thomas Balko, a licensed appraiser and owners of several companies.
The neighborhood association became suspicious of the sales conducted by said perpetrators. Soon enough, a member of the Minneappolis City Council reported the matter to federal, state and county investigators thus leading to the fall of the two real estate bad guys.
Be a hero too. Help stop real estate fraud. Don’t be afraid to report any shady deals to the authorities.
