A Costly Nightmare!

Brad referred my husband and I to a lender/friend of his at Great Southwest Mortgage, now defunct, I believe. He told us he and the lender-friend had a social relationship, golfed, boated, etc. We had bad credit. But we put down almost $24,000 on a $238,000 home. Brad told us to do whatever the lender said, that he was a great guy. We've been in lawsuit with Brad's friend since 2005. He lied about putting us on the title, told us to put in landscaping (we put in $6000 worth), that it was our home, then tried to evict us even though all of our payments were made in full and on time. We were awarded some of our money back by the court, and now the guy is evading paying, hiding from the process server, etc. It's been a nightmare! The guy put us into a lease option, Brad switched from being our realtor to being his friend's realtor and never bothered to tell us. So he still got his commission. They both made quite a bit of money off of us.
