Manequa Anthony, 30, owner and broker of Jordan Real Estate, Brentwood, California; Jayme Hutchins, 30, agent, Brentwood, California; and Monika Selleaze, 36, notary public, Antioch, California, were arrested in connection with an alleged real estate fraud.
According to media reports, the victim provided Hutchins with a credit report for use in purchasing a home in Oakland. That deal fell through and was never completed. Thereafter, Hutchins allegedly obtained a loan to purchase a home in Brentwood, California using the victim's credit report. Anthony is alleged to have facilitated the title change and Selleaze to have notarized the documents. Hutchins and Anthony also allegedly received commissions totaling approximately $30,000 as a result of the fraudulent purchase.
The victim became aware of the crime when attempting to pre-qualify for another home purchase.
Hutchins, Anthony and Selleaze were charged with forgery, grand theft, identity theft, falsifying estate documents and conspiracy. Selleaze was also charged with notary fraud.
