Real estate fraud occurs when a party makes false statements or withholds material facts about a property to induce a decision, causing financial loss. It must be proven with evidence of misrepresentation, reliance, and resulting damages.
Case duration varies with complexity, court schedules, and whether the matter settles. Some matters resolve through negotiation or mediation before a trial is needed.
Remedies include monetary damages, rescission of the contract, and injunctive relief when appropriate. In some cases, prevailing parties may recover legal costs allowed by law.
