The Company remains confident that the Homeowner Benefit Program fully complies with the law and benefits consumers who receive a cash incentive to select MV Realty as their listing agent,\u201d a MV Realty spokesperson wrote in an email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The firm would not specify how long it plans to pause onboarding for new Homeowner Benefit Agreement clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is not surprising that MV would halt the program given the direct regulatory and legal scrutiny they are receiving.&nbsp;This often occurs in such situations,\u201d Ken Trepeta, the executive director of the <strong>Real Estate Services Providers Council<\/strong>, wrote in an email. \u201cI would suspect the program would remain halted until the regulatory and legal cases play out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under MV Realty\u2019s<a href=\"http:\/\/homeownerbenefit.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&nbsp;Homeowner Benefit Agreement<\/a>, in exchange for a cash payment of $500 to $5,000, depending on the home\u2019s value as determined by MV Realty, the homeowner signs over the right to list their home for the next 40 years to the firm. This means that if a homeowner decides to sell their house sometime in the next 40 years, MV Realty is entitled to list the home for a 3% commission, which is separate from the commission earned by the buy side agent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the homeowner breaks the agreement or decides to terminate the agreement early, the homeowner must pay MV Realty 3% of the property\u2019s value at the time the agreement is signed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The firm is currently facing lawsuits in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtrends.com\/blog\/articles\/two-more-states-sue-mv-realty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Massachusetts, Pennsylvania<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtrends.com\/blog\/articles\/florida-attorney-general-sues-mv-realty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Florida<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtrends.com\/blog\/articles\/mv-realty-is-under-fire-again\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ohio<\/a>. The lawsuits allege that MV Realty misleads and confuses homeowners through its so-called Homeowner Benefit Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMV Realty conceals in its marketing and sales processes material terms including its ability to foreclose on the home, that the company only acts as a \u2018non-agent facilitator,\u2019 and that if the heirs won\u2019t assume the agreement after a homeowner\u2019s death, MV Realty can foreclose,\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mass.gov\/news\/ag-healey-sues-florida-company-for-scamming-financially-struggling-residents-into-mortgaging-their-homes-in-exchange-for-small-cash-payments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to<\/a>&nbsp;the Massachusetts suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA non-agent facilitator is a type of transaction broker that owes no duty of loyalty to the seller, has no obligation to seek the highest price the market will bear, and owes no duty of confidentiality to the seller,\u201d the complaint reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In late January, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fcc.gov\/document\/fcc-warns-providers-about-robocalls-phoneburner-and-mv-realty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FCC called out MV Realty<\/a> for what it called \u201can apparent homeowner-focused robocall scam campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/homeownerbenefit.com\/#faq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MV Realty<\/a> currently operates in 33 states and has more than 500 licensed agents.
