Gordon's experience exemplifies the distressing reality of home-title theft, a growing issue where fraudsters exploit identity to unlawfully claim ownership of properties.
In 2023, 9,521 cases of real-estate scams were reported, leading to losses exceeding $145 million, highlighting a troubling trend affecting property owners nationwide.
Despite his rightful ownership, Gordon faced significant challenges in reclaiming his property, as legal ambiguity and bureaucratic hurdles complicated the resolution process.
"The county said all you have to do is just undo this, but nobody seemed to know how to undo this," Gordon lamented.
