Steve Hochman - First Call Friendly Note Buyers
Real Estate Note Purchase Rip Off Scheme

Fraud Warning: Beware Steve Hochman - First Call Friendly Note Buyers Inc. They claimed to be on the level and offered to buy my note. They paid a portion (perhaps one third) of the value of the note at closing with a promise to pay an additional 202k within one year. They also agreed, in a notarized contract, not to transfer the deed of trust until this payment was made. They assured me that the Request for Notice and associated sale agreement would be recorded along with the Assignment of the Deed of Trust.

This never happened. The Assignment was recorded without the Request for Notice and was then quickly sold over to Genesis Financial in Spokane Washington.

Interestingly the escow agent working with them, Adrianne Greeley, is also based in Spokane Washington. I have called Mr. Steve Hochman at First Call Friendly Note Buyers repeatedly and calls are never returned. I believe from reading the previous report placed here that this is a criminal pattern on the part of Mr. Hochman and he must be stopped.
