Many property owners never expect to deal with squatters or deed fraud. However, when these situations occur, they can result in costly legal disputes, damaged property and significant financial losses.  George McCleary, president of McCleary Realty & Development, joins Host Carol Morgan on Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio to discuss how squatters exploit vacant properties, why deed fraud is becoming a growing concern and what property owners can do to protect their investments.   How a Viral Video Sparked a National Conversation  McCleary first gained widespread attention through his viral social media video, “I Stole a House,” which highlighted how people can exploit legal gray areas to occupy vacant properties.  While the video was intended as satire, it resonated with property owners across the country and generated millions of views. It also prompted countless conversations about a problem many people assume could never happen to them.  “It's rare enough. It's sort of like rare, like a heart attack,” said McCleary. “It's probably not going to happen to you today, but if it does, you have to take it very seriously.”  Why Squatters Can Be Difficult to Remove  Many people assume law enforcement can immediately remove someone who unlawfully occupies a property. In reality, squatters often take deliberate steps to make themselves appear to be legitimate tenants. Experienced squatters frequently move belongings into a home, establish residency and present forged lease agreements when confronted. These tactics can create uncertainty for law enforcement officers responding to the scene.  “These professional squatters, they are experts at blurring these lines,” he said.  Once questions arise about tenancy, property owners may be forced into lengthy legal proceedings. The process can involve attorney fees, court costs and months of lost rental income before a property is recovered. Even after regaining possession, owners may face additional expenses to repair damage and replace stolen appliances, fixtures or building materials.  Why Deed Fraud May Be an Even Bigger Threat  Following the success of his viral video, McCleary began hearing from property owners across the country who had experienced another type of real estate crime: deed fraud.  In these cases, criminals forge ownership documents and file them with local governments, creating the appearance that a property has changed hands. Once the fraudulent deed is recorded, scammers may attempt to sell the property or borrow against its equity. What makes deed fraud particularly dangerous is that owners often do not discover the issue until significant financial damage has already occurred.  “You can't prevent somebody from falsifying a deed and filing it with the county,” he said. “The thing that you can prevent is the theft of your equity.”  The faster fraudulent activity is detected, the easier it becomes to stop a sale, prevent unauthorized loans and begin restoring ownership records.  Who Is Most Vulnerable?  While any property owner can become a victim, investors, aging homeowners and owners of vacant properties are among the most common targets.  Investors often own multiple properties and rely on managers to oversee day-to-day operations, making it easier for fraudulent activity to go unnoticed. Older homeowners frequently have substantial equity, which can make them attractive targets for scammers. Builders, agents and sellers should also pay close attention to vacant homes. Unoccupied properties can provide opportunities for squatters to establish residency before anyone realizes a problem exists.  Prevention Starts With Early Detection  While no solution can eliminate risk, property owners can significantly reduce their exposure through proactive monitoring. For vacant properties, McCleary recommends installing alarm systems that provide immediate notifications when someone enters a home unexpectedly. Quick action can often prevent a squatter from establishing residency and turning a trespassing incident into a legal dispute.  Routine property inspections, title monitoring services and regular oversight can also help property owners identify potential problems before they become costly legal battles.  The Financial Stakes Are Higher Than Many Realize  Both squatting and deed fraud can carry substantial financial consequences. Property owners may face lost rental income, legal expenses, property damage and, in some cases, the loss of significant home equity.  “The financial stakes of each of these squatting or title fraud cases eclipses the six-figure mark over $100,000 regularly,” he said.  As awareness of these issues grows, some states have begun strengthening laws related to squatting and property fraud. However, prevention, monitoring and education remain the most effective tools available to property owners.  About McCleary Realty & Development  McCleary Realty & Development is a Portland-based real estate investment, development and brokerage firm led by President George McCleary.

On the evening of June 26, 2009, ten-year-old Lindsey Baum left a friend's house in McCleary, Washington for the short walk home, but she never arrived.McCleary is the kind of town where everyone knows each other - fewer than 2,000 residents, two dozen streets, one major employer. It was exactly the kind of place Melissa Baum thought was perfect for a fresh start with her two kids after relocating post-divorce from Tennessee. It felt safe. It felt quiet. And then it didn't.What followed was a massive, multi-agency investigation - hundreds of law enforcement personnel, dozens of FBI agents, more than forty individuals drawing the attention of investigators, and years of tips that went nowhere. The case has never been solved.In this episode we walk through everything the public record shows: the night Lindsey disappeared, the investigation, the persons of interest, and what investigators are still chasing today.If you have information about Lindsey's case, contact the Grays Harbor County Sheriff's Office at 360-964-1799 or submit a tip to the FBI at tips.fbi.gov.

Vancouver Public Schools faces $20-30 million in budget cuts, threatening beloved music, art, and PE teachers. But CCT Editor Ken Vance argues the real culprit isn't lack of funding—it's teachers' unions that greedily leveraged McCleary money for unprecedented salary increases while knowing other programs would suffer. Washington teachers now rank second nationally in starting salaries, averaging $105,254 plus $31,770 in benefits, while test scores plummet and families flee to private schools and homeschooling. There's only one funding pie, Vance argues, and teachers are consuming a disproportionate slice. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-cct-editor-provides-another-history-lesson-on-funding-public-schools/ #Opinion #Education #VancouverSchools #McCleary #TeachersUnion #PublicSchools #WashingtonEducation #ClarkCounty #SchoolFunding #TaxpayerMoney

Despite the defeat, much of the conversation focuses on the performance of DLR goalkeeper Summer Lawless, who produced a series of sensational saves during the match. The panel also debate whether the young stopper was fortunate to avoid a red card after a late challenge on Ceola Bergin. Lawless herself joins the show to discuss her performance and the team's start to the season (30:17), followed by reaction from DLR Waves manager Laura Heffernan (31:54) and Galway United manager Phil Trill (34:15).

https://youtu.be/Gx9VZCfwoccWelcome back to the Unmasked Podcast after a long hiatus. This shiny new episode is the first of Season 5, in which Joey and Tyler are addressing the theme of "Thinking in the Spheres". Should Christians automatically support school levies? In this episode of Unmasked, Joey and Tyler examine the proposed Battleground, Washington school levy and ask a deeper question: has the public school system proven itself trustworthy?They discuss the McCleary decision, rising education budgets, declining academic outcomes, administrative bloat, lack of transparency, and growing ideological conflicts between schools and families. From a biblical and civic perspective, they argue that throwing more money at a broken culture will not fix it—and that voting “no” may actually be the most loving option for children, families, and the community.This episode is especially relevant for Christians navigating education, politics, and civic responsibility in today's culture.Title: “More Money, Worse Results?

One of the great pains of being a homeowner is dealing with squatters and even worse, title fraud. Today, with the help of George McCleary, we learn how to protect ourselves against would-be squatters and how to be prepared when someone tries to rob you of your equity.
