🚨 FLORIDA HOMEOWNERS BEWARE: A Legal Loophole is Clouding Titles & Costing Residents Their Greatest Asset
Imagine waking up to find you can no longer sell, refinance, or control your home—even though you’ve never missed a mortgage payment and haven't been sued.
Unlicensed, predatory out-of-state companies are weaponizing Florida public records by filing a "Memorandum of Interest" against properties to freeze titles and extort thousands of dollars in "release fees"—without even having to prove a contract exists!
Here is a breakdown of how this scheme works and the exact names, cases, and facts behind it:
🛑 The Procedural Nightmare: Clouding Titles Without Proof
The Predator: Good Neighbor Solutions LLC (a company with 35+ BBB complaints in under 3 years).
The Case: Okeechobee County Case No. 47-2024-CA-000071 A.
The Exploit: On March 26, 2025, Good Neighbor Solutions recorded a Memorandum of Interest against a senior citizen’s property—12 days before any lawsuit was filed.
The Court's Failure: The recording office and court allowed this encumbrance without requiring a copy of the underlying contract to be attached.
The Extortion: Demanding ransom fees to drop claims ($15,000 in one past case; over $20,000 demanded from this Okeechobee senior citizen for alleged "Man Hours").
✍️ The (Alleged) Notary Fraud in Exhibit B
When forced to produce a contract in court (Exhibit B, now public record), Good Neighbor Solutions submitted a document riddled with alleged forgery:
The Bait & Switch: The homeowner signed a listing agreement to market her home. Her signature was allegedly copy-pasted onto an "As Is" Sales and Purchasing Contract.
The Corrupt Accomplice: Florida Notary Public Reeshema Jean-Baptiste (a mobile notary) certified the document while breaking sworn duties:
📸 Acted as an agent: Admitted she was only sent to take marketing photos, not witness legal signings.
❌ Verified nothing: Never checked ID, resulting in the homeowner’s legal name being misspelled ("Leticia" instead of Letitia) on the jurat.
👻 Was not present: Certified that the homeowner personally appeared before her, which never happened.
The Fallout: A formal complaint is filed with the Governor’s Office demanding an immediate investigation, suspension of her commission, and a criminal referral.
🤫 Silence from the Legal Community
Attorneys Turning a Blind Eye: Many refuse to tackle complex multi-state scams, preferring short-term payouts over fighting criminal enterprises.
The Victim Abandoned: Attorney Joel Weiner took a large retainer from the 70-year-old indigent victim, then walked away without finishing the case.
Profiting from Predators: Attorney Michael Farrar is actively representing Good Neighbor Solutions LLC and getting paid off these cases (all public record).
📢 Call for Immediate State Action NOW!
🏛️ Florida State Legislature: Pass emergency legislation requiring verified, attached contracts before any Memorandum of Interest can be recorded.
🚔 Attorney General: Launch an immediate statewide criminal probe into Good Neighbor Solutions LLC and the corrupt notaries facilitating these extortion schemes.
