Investigators said the mortgage broker was able to find financing, a second mortgage was registered on the home and the woman received approximately $300,000 through her real estate lawyer.
Shortly after the mortgage was registered, police said the real homeowner received the mortgage documents in the mail and immediately contacted their lawyer and police.
They allege the woman used fake identification to impersonate the real homeowner.
