True Crime in Real Estate™

education, true crime · EN

Real estate looks good from the curb. Open house signs, fresh flowers on the kitchen island, an agent in a blazer telling you the schools are great. Now here's the part they don't put in your pre-license class. Agents get killed at showings, vacant houses turn into crime scenes, brokers run ponzi schemes with everyone's earnest money and disappear, traffickers use listings to move people in plain sight, and wire fraud empties a family's savings between the title check and the signing pen. That's just the personal side. Whole neighborhoods have been written off too, from Cabrini-Green and Pruitt-Igoe to Skid Row, plus redlining, slumlord dynasties sitting on entire ZIP codes, and cartels washing money through luxury condos. True Crime in Real Estate™ covers the cases, the history, and the parts of this business every agent should know before unlocking another door. Made for agents. Anyone with the stomach for it is welcome to stay.
