Denies charge: real estate agent John Talia.
据2008年8月8日《Herald Sun》报道,墨尔本东区大型地产代理公司Ray White Doncaster分公司销售经理John Talia涉嫌在2002年7月以诈欺手段半价买入Burwood East一栋房产,目前被告上法庭。
A REAL estate agent has been accused of deceiving an elderly man into selling his house to him for half its value.
John Michael Talia, 53, bought the Burwood East home in July 2002 for $150,000.
But an independent valuation estimated the Lindisfarne Drive house at $300,000, a County Court jury heard yesterday.
The house's owner, Antonino Carbone, went into a nursing home in 2001.The woman given Mr Carbone's power of attorney, Stella Garretto, spoke to Ray White real estate in Doncaster about selling the house.
Sue Talia, who was in charge of rentals at the Ray White office, suggested her husband might be interested in buying it.
Mr Talia was sales manager at Ray White Doncaster and had about 20 years' experience.
Prosecutor Tim Doherty said Mr Talia asked an agent at another real estate agency for a property appraisal, which valued the property at $135,000 to $155,000.
