British buyers still interested in Florida, London broker says
Falling home prices have frightened the bejeebers out of American buyers, but Brits don’t scare so easily. That’s good news for sellers in Florida, which remains a popular destination for Brits looking for a second home.
Unlike Americans, who hadn’t experienced a drop in home prices for more than 60 years, Brits have seen prices rise and fall several times in recent decades.
“We’ve been on a roller coaster of boom and bust since the war, and so I think Brits have gotten used to cycles,” said Nick Churton of Mayfair International Realty in London.
Unfortunaly this is not a boom and bust cycle here in the U.S.
It is the unraveling of a PONZI scheme that is going to get much worse.
Maybe you all should warn Mr. Churton or Mayfair International Realty in London.

Hate to see his clients buy properties that are still grossly overvalued, or even worse, with TOXIC TITLES.

@I vent
You are right. The Judges don’t want prose defendants because proses simply tell the facts and the law of the case and most Judges have not wanted that, they want confusion.
I had to be prose from the very beginning when the original bank Fidelity NY FSB hid four of my mortqage payments.
I thought I could show the Judge the checks that the bank said they never received that had markings of being posted to the bank ledger. and I thought a reasonable Judge would realize I didn’t open up the Bank at 2:00 AM in the morning to put these markings on their ledger.
When I went back to NYSC in 2008 and Astoria Federal S & L realizing that their previous corrupt attorneys auctioned off my two NYC condos when the bank never owned them and Astoria’s new attorneys said Its Indemnify Indemnify Indemnify we are stepping aside and the Title attorneys are stepping in.
In steps Frank P Malone of Fidelity National Title (probably the leading corrupt company in the mortgage field) and his partner in crime David K Fiveson of Coronet Title who bribed Judge Alice Schlesinger in order for her not to follow the US Supreme Court case Elliot vs Piersol on jurisdiction and the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution.
I am looking how the Chief Judge of the NY Court of Appeals Jonathan Lippman is trying to get more money for legal help for those of us that have to be prose. To me it looks like the purpose of help for the poor litigents is that the Courts retain control ofthe case so it is won by the Banks and Title companies.
The Courts are covering up their past fraud with more farces.
That is right Marilyn…they have all of us in debtors court fighting for our property rights when the criminals who did this should have been shut down and jailed a long time ago…like Neil Gardner said…instead we have 20 trillion dollar land grab going on in debtors court………..
with the criminals who robbed us all because they have no standing to fraudclose in Federal Court…AND THESE ARE ALL UNSECURED DEBTS THAT SHOULD BE EXTINGUISHABLE IN A BANKRUPTCY…BUT THEY ARE NOT, THERE IS FRAUD BEING COMMITTED THERE TOO…WITH COPIES OF NOTES……. and the US. GOVERNMENT allowed ALL of this to happen and are still allowing this robbery to happpen….THIS WAS AN INSIDE JOB BY TRAITOR POLITICIANS FROM WITHIN AND IT IS STILL GOING ON TO THIS DAY….!!
@I vent
I often wonder why Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman allows those Judges that refuse to follow the Law get away with it.
It makes me think “what can they have on him?”
They probably do have something on him Marilyn…..there is real evil hiding from behind all of this……this website I found last week states that there is definitive proof that Satanists control the major Federal Government agencies….they own and control the media as well as Washington and Wall Street…..There is real evil that has hijacked this country…check out this link and go to the home page….

I went back to look at the NY Times archives about Chief Judge Lippman wanting to give all foreclosure victims a pro bono attorney andd I find the information about the amount of foreclosures comes from LPS.
New York Courts Vow Legal Aid in HousingBy DAVID STREITFELD

DiggRedditTumblrPermalink. New York court officials outlined procedures Tuesday aimed at assuring that all homeowners facing foreclosure were represented by a lawyer, a shift that could give tens of thousands of families a better chance at saving their homes.

Yana Paskova for The New York Times
Jonathan Lippman, New York’s chief judge, wants all homeowners facing foreclosure in the state to have legal representation.
Criminal defendants are guaranteed a lawyer, but New York will be the first state to try to extend that pledge to foreclosures, which are civil matters. There are about 80,000 active foreclosure cases in New York courts. In more than half of them, only the banks have lawyers.
“It’s such an uneven playing field,” said the state’s chief judge, Jonathan Lippman. “Banks wind up with the property and the homeowner winds up over the cliff, on the street. It doesn’t serve anyone’s interest, including the banks.”
A lawyer for every defendant will also serve the courts’ interests, the judge said, by making proceedings more efficient.
Under the procedures, which will be put in place in Queens and Orange Counties in the next few weeks and across the state by the end of the year, any homeowner in foreclosure who does not have a lawyer will be supplied one by legal aid groups or other pro bono groups.
Legal aid groups are expected to have foreclosure offices in the courts to handle the influx.
After revelations last fall that several major banks had used improper methods to speed foreclosures, the courts are increasingly becoming a central battleground for people seeking to modify their loan and salvage their house. Simply responding to a foreclosure notice in court, homeowners have learned, can sharply delay the proceedings.
That is a change from when the foreclosure crisis began. A few years ago, most foreclosed owners in New York and everywhere else did not show up at court proceedings and simply abandoned their homes. It was a “paper process,” the New York court system concluded in a recent report, with lenders inevitably the winners. New York now mandates settlement meetings overseen by a judge and attended by the lender, a sort of court inside the court. Homeowners are participating in large numbers but most of those without lawyers have little idea how to defend themselves. The cases are also overwhelming the courts. In several counties, half of the civil cases in higher courts are foreclosures.
Legal aid groups will find the task of representing all foreclosure defendants easier if the State Legislature agrees to Judge Lippman’s request for a $100 million increase in legal services programs spread over the next four years. Current financing for legal services in New York is about $200 million a year drawn from a variety of public and private sources.
New York, which is one of the 23 states where foreclosures must be overseen by a judge, has been more aggressive than most in trying to reshape the flood of housing cases. Lawyers pursuing foreclosure in New York are personally liable for the accuracy of the documents they represent. It is a requirement that some lawyers find onerous, but has been credited with significantly slowing the pace of foreclosures in the state.
Legal aid organizations in the 23 states, which include Illinois, Florida and New Jersey, say that they do not have enough money or lawyers to help everyone who needs assistance. New Mexico and Connecticut have started classes to help train people to represent themselves. Legal aid groups in other states are forced to choose among families, helping some but not others.
New York’s action “will shift the debate,” said Donald Saunders, director of the civil division of the National Legal Aid and Defender Association. “Everything Judge Lippman is saying will be looked at closely elsewhere.”
Mr. Saunders added, however, that fiscal realities could trump other considerations.
Nationwide, 2.2 million households are in foreclosure, with another 2.1 million at least 90 days past due, according to LPS Applied Analytics.
Is this the same LPS docx connection with their phony producing documents.?
LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING FISHY?
Frank P Malone attorney for Fidelity National Title, the mother company of LPS Docx is one of the
attorneys, the other being David K Fiveson of Coronet Title that paid a bribe to Judge Alice Schlesinger
of NYSC. and Judge Lippman oversees Judge Schlesinger
The more you peel the onion the more you see.
100 million dollars seems like a waste of taxpayers money to get every foreclosure defendant legal representation when the same thing could be accomplished for a few cents on the dollar if every pro se defendant were given an honest judge that followed the law.
I know in my case in the New York courts that so many hours were wasted by the Judges changing and trying to minipulate the facts that they could illegally give my property to their friends at the title companies. , when if they followed the law and upheld their oath to the Constitution I would have immediately been restored to possession of my properties.
Now that we all know the connection between Bondi of Flo we have seen that change so rida and the connection bewtween LPS and the NY Courts it is easier for all of us to see the evil that lurks.
But with the GetMoney Out and the Occupy protests it shows how many citizens are waking up to what has been going on. It is a start to take back our rights under the Constitution.
Remember when we all had respect for Bankers and Judges, that seems like ages ago

correction’ my last post should read Bondi of Florida (I don.t know why those couple of words showed up in the middle of the word florida. sorry.
@Marilyn A
It sure appears that Mark Stopa is one of the best.
With his knowledge he might see more with the origination fraud
and the corruptness of the Title companies from day one.
We are all at so many different stages of these foreclosure frauds
we have to check out every bit of information .
The obligation of the Title Companies if to discover and devulge the
value of the Title but since Fidelity and its connections are knowing so
corrupt they are not protecting us against title fraud but perpertrating title fraud
.
And if the Land Records are not accurate for everyone ,
they intermingle with each other and
the problems are going to show up down the line.
We need a thousand Mark Stopas.
Marilyn L….We are dealing with a WAMU mortgage from March 2003…. and they did so much fraud as the committee found…it is an ARM’s and I read every ar’s pros. and PSA and none had any mortgages listed….I worked many hours to trace it all…and after months I gave up…her mortgage was like in the air….she was not behind in payments…and she could not get shit out of the servicer…so she stopped paying them in 2009….course than it was Chase as the servicer…and only the servicer…I figured WAMU ‘ cashed ‘ the note in….the recorded mortgage did not go back to WAMU…according to papers the title co. got the recorded mortgage back..NOT THE BANK…..so the first attorney that stuck us $1,250.00 and expected another 1,250.00 within a few weeks..did a turn coat on us…and said there were no frauds in any of the mortgages…she started to talk bank talk..so we went to Tampa and hired Stopa….I felt at first we needed Stopa…but a paralegal I know said this female lawyer she worked with was great in knowledge….what a joke….and at a cost to us….the paralegal quit at this law firm when I told her…..so now we feel more comfort…..we just didn’t need to try and do it ourselves as I had read early on…pro se was a hard way to go…..I lost my money to the first wench…but what can one do today with courts being so crooked themselves…..Stopa was my answer……..
Unfortunately there are no Stopa’s in Chicago..these attorneys here are ALL WORKING FOR THE NWO…the attorneys who say they are working for the people lie…they are told to tell us that to rope us in….and if they can’t rope us in the Judges will tell you that you are fighting prose at your peril…….and you better go hire a corrupt attorney…..These foreclosures are illegal…and the judges know it….if you get it and the judges know you get it, you could get lucky…the judges don’t really want us in their courtroom speaking out about all of the fraud…….mainly because not too many get it…at all….the people for the most part are going along with it like sheep being led to the slaughter…..
Like I have always said, we will be paying rent to foreign landlords and we would have lost our sovereignty..
If we let them get away with it that will be the outcome..,..Complete COMMUNISM, than TOTALITARIANISM…too many are not fighting their fraudclosures….the truth is being hidden from the masses…I was just listening to Obamas speech at the dedication to the MLK monument…Obama said that we are now a more free and just nation because of what MLK did..That is a bold faced lie….Obama is a traitor…He said it took decades for Civil Rights in America…We The People already had everything…… we had all of the protectections in place to protect WE THE PEOPLE from this treason by our political leaders..It allstarted with the FED….and Presidents and Politicians who were members of the NWO, working for the communist enemy to overthrow democracy and freedom…. they allowed America to be hijacked by the commie enemy…These traitors weakened or destroyed everything by massive deception… Treasonist traitors….Nazi Collaberators…Fight the Good Fight….!!.
Mario…..In the 90’s I went to England and Ireland……and the people told us that they were buying condo’s here in Florida to retire to…their money was worth alot more than ours at that time….they would live here 6 months and 6 months in England….and that was why so many foreigners came here to vacation….their trips were costing them little …..and we had to pay top dollar to visit there…..We talked to a guy from Scotland Yard and he said he paid cash back than for a condo right by my house in Venice. FL…..so I can see what this article relates to.
@Marilyn A
Back to to another subject of why the Land Recorders are so blind?
A “Marco” hit the jackpot went he asked Michael a question “Is Fidlar Technologies related to Fidelity ?
It made me poke around and what I found is Fidlar Technologies is very involved in many of the national associations of County Records and Clerks. Look at thre posting on the Indiana country clerk where he found Linda Greens name on his documents.
It shows the connection etween Fidelity Fidlar, Freddie Mac Fannie Mae etc.
Until we end the Federal Reserve we will not see any gain….that needs to be first on the demands….right now it is the FR that is the thorn AND Obama is so full of bullshit….This is not a free nation…his mind is a mass of fizzz from the mind control that was done to him…..he knows he is a traitor to this country and guilty of treason……this will not be forgotten and we will not forgive…..and the rest of them all living we have them too on the list. ..
Marilyn L….My daughter has nothing up to this point with any affidavits or robo signers…nothing. So being she has an attorney…Mark Stopa…we have left that to him…but we did find fraud at the closing…with the title co. in on it….when it was checked Mers claimed that never had anything on record and Freddie and Fannie said the same….so we are leaving this up to Stopa…..
They are all one ongoing criminal enterprise..BOFA owns all of them….they are all proxies for the WORLD BANK…..I found that out in the fall of last year when I went to my recorders office and I realized immediately that they were all acting as one enterprise when there were no proper or legal conveyances recorded though they dumped the fraudulently induced loan multiple times..-
