False Claim of Equitable Interest Leads to an Injunction Against LandCorp of Illinois, Inc.

During 2021, the Alabama Real Estate Commission received several complaints about an unlicensed, out-of-state company, The LandCorp of Illinois, Inc., listing land for sale in Alabama on a website. The Commission spoke with the owner of the company who admitted that the listings belonged to his company and that his company did not have a license. He stated that his company had an “equitable interest” in the listed properties, but he provided no documentation to establish that. The Commission identified and contacted some of the property owners. The owners the Commission spoke with did not know that their property was listed.

An owner of one of the listed properties in Camp Hill, Alabama was extremely cooperative with the Commission and provided documentation that established the unlicensed company had no equitable interest in the property. The Commission filed a complaint for injunctive relief against the unlicensed company with the Circuit Court of Tallapoosa County on August 9, 2021. On January 27, 2022, The Honorable Judge Ray Martin, entered judgment against The LandCorp of Illinois, Inc. enjoining it from marketing real estate located in the state of Alabama that belongs to others or otherwise engaging in activity that requires a license issued by the Commission.

The Commission is prepared to have this injunction enforced if the unlawful activity from this company continues and believes the injunctive process is a good tool to use against other unlicensed companies or individuals that are conducting activity that requires a license.
