Wells Fargo FAIL | Cape Coral Family Pays Wells Fargo for Home Bank didn’t Own
Go ahead, buy that foreclosed home, I dare ya…
Brian and Holly Barnhart thought they were home free when they bought their Cape Coral dream house from Wells Fargo Bank – but the bank didn’t even own the house.
Now the Barnharts, who emptied their life savings to buy the house for $153,000 cash and renovate it for another $80,000, are stuck in limbo along with their two small children and a baby due in July.
If they needed to sell the house, they couldn’t because they never actually owned it, said their Fort Myers-based lawyer, Jack Pankow.
“It’s nerve-wracking to say the least,” said Brian Barnhart, a real estate agent with Gulf Gateway Realty. “And it’s killing us.”
So far, nobody’s stepping up to make things right.
At the heart of the problem is a mortgage foreclosure lawsuit filed by Wells Fargo in 2007 against Richard Riccobono for a mortgage he had on the house. The bank won the suit and then took back possession of the house, but moved July 30, 2009, to set aside its ownership.
That caused ownership of the house to revert to Riccobono.
But on Nov. 3, 2010, Wells Fargo sold the house to the Barnharts – who discovered two months later they didn’t really own it when they applied for a mortgage.

Just curious who paid for the Title Services in this transaction? Was it the seller which is customary in Florida? I have been in Real Estate for many years. Ever since this foreclosure/Fraudclosure came to light, I advise all of my buyers that if they want title insurance worth the paper it is written on, pay for it yourself.
A buyer I had who wanted to buy a home from Fannie Mae, was told to use Marshall Watson’s Title services. I was FLOORED! You mean the same company that the M-I-A David J Sterns was part of? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? So we put it in writing that not only would the buyer be obtaining and paying for Title, it was a deal breaker if he was not allowed to. That deal fell through due to the non-disclosed Chinese Drywall, but that is an entirely different ugly story.
So this same customer and I found him yet another home. Being sold by a certain bank. Which was kinda of bitchy about his obtaining his own Title Company demand. Why would they be, it’s not like LPS was their servicer! So, after trying to close his home for 3 weeks, and going through 3 different sets of closing documents he finally closed. WHY SO LONG for a Cash buyer to close? Well, the seller was one bank, but during the title work all of a sudden there are 3 banks laying claim to the home. One of the Deeds that was sent over, actually had the Buyer who was paying cash, CO-OWNING the property with one of the other banks!! I KID YOU NOT.
It pays to have an extra set of eyes on the buyers side. A very well trained, skilled and professional set of eyes.
