Diamond Washington, 38, and Rosalyn Johnson, 39, along with their business Love Has Homes, LLC, were indicted today by a Montgomery County grand jury for engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, forgery, tampering with government records, grand theft, and telecommunication fraud.
They’re accused of filing quit claim deeds with forged signatures to give ownership of properties to Love Has Homes, LLC. They then sell the properties at below-market value prices, like one Centerville property that was valued at $312,000 and offered for sale at $200,000.
“If somebody says, ‘We want to sell you a property with a quit claim deed,’ that automatically raises a red flag,” Montgomery County Prosecutor Mat Heck said on Thursday.
