Sandra Barkley, who owns a three-story home in Bedford-Stuyvesant, is suing United Homes, a one-stop shop through which she purchased her home. WNYC talks to Barkley, who alleges the company knowingly sold her a house that was in poor condition and overcharged her by more than $100,000. Barkley’s lawyer, Ned Vazire, said that United Homes purchased what would later become Barkley’s home at a foreclosure auction for $153,000 and sold it to her for $200,000 more than that a few months later. Barkley hasn’t made her mortgage payments since 2004, but foreclosure of her home is on hold because of her lawsuit. The Real Deal explored all-in-one real estate companies in the June 2008 issue, and The Real Deal‘s Alex Ulam spoke to WNYC about one-stop shops yesterday.
