Faces of Snipe: 612-787-7653 612-787-SOLD Jesse Olson AGAIN – MyHomeBuyers.com

Guess who’s still littering the City of Minneapolis with illegal snipe advertising? Jesse Olson! You may remember real estate agent Jesse Olson from a May 2010 Faces of Snipe. In fact, Jesse Olson was the very first illegal advertiser highlighted in Faces of Snipe. Apparently, Jesse didn’t get the message. I talked to Jesse tonight, [...]

Ashley Prasil Added to White Collar Crime Map

You know that mortgage fraud thing I posted about yesterday involving Sheri Delich? Ashley Prasil was involved in it too. As I understand it, it sounds like Ms. Prasil was involved in setting up straw buyers for units in the Cloud 9 Skyflats. So I added her to my white collar crime map. That’s my [...]

Sheri Delich Added to White Collar Crime Map

I’ve been slacking on updating the White Collar Crime Map I launched last August. Today, I added Sheri Delich after she pled guilty to wire fraud and money laundering tied to the Cloud 9 Skyflats travesty in Minnetonka. That’s the third addition for Apple Valley, which was also home to Trevor Cook ($190 million in [...]

How Can I Transfer a Mortgage Away from Wells Fargo?

After refinancing my home, the bank that handled the transaction sold my mortgage to Wells Fargo. No big deal. Loans are sold all the time. However, I’m now discovering that Wells Fargo isn’t the kind of company I’d like to see profiting from my debt. The five separate investigations were conducted by the Department of [...]

Jordan Hawkman Deletes Rambling Paul Koenig Denial Post

Back on March 8th, I wrote a post stating that I believe I had seen notorious Minneapolis slumlord, Paul Koenig of PAMIKO Properties, at the Johnny Northside Trial. Julie commented here that she also saw him there. Apparently, he kind of creeped her out, which left an impression. OMG, that guy was giving me the [...]

A Former Minneapolis Home Owner Visits His Foreclosed Property

This is quite the buzzkill. A former North Minneapolis homeowner drives by his foreclosed home to see what’s happened to it since he was evicted, only to find . . . an empty lot: That looks like approximately like the Jordan Neighborhood on Irving or James Ave N to me. Based on the look of [...]

Longfellow Community Has Lowest Days on Market in Metro

The 2010 Twin Cities Area Housing Market Annual Report from the Minneapolis Area Association of REALTORS is out, with a ton of excellent data about what the heck is happening in real estate these days. Among the stats they publish, (download the full report as a PDF here [via Aaron Dickinson on Twitter]) is a [...]

Cooper: The Hottest Neighborhood in Minneapolis

Well, that’s one interpretation of real estate assessments. In general, homes in the Longfellow community and nearby Standish-Ericsson held their values better than most other parts of the city. Longfellow’s Cooper section, for example, was the only residential area in the city where the median home value didn’t fall between 2009 and 2010, in the [...]

Banks Should Modify Loans to Keep People In Their Homes

I had a chance to meet Scott Brown in Santa Monica earlier this week. Scotty is a real estate agent working on the higher end of the market with properties in Malibu. One might think that that part of the market would be immune to the foreclosure issues facing lower price points, but that’s not [...]

A Trickle-Up Effect of Mortgage Fraud

Way back in 2007, Alex Steback wrote a blog post about foreclosures in North Minneapolis that set Johnny Northside into motion. As I understand the tale, this is what motivated John Hoff to go to Blogger.com and start a blog of his own. Hoff went on a bit of a real estate fraud rampage in [...]
