JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The office of Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against Florida-based MV Realty for deceptive marketing practices toward Missouri homeowners.

The suit alleges that MV Realty contacted Missourians and offered to pay them a small percentage of the value of their homes in exchange for a promise that the homeowner would use MV Realty as their broker whenever they sold their homes. MV Realty contacted thousands of Missouri homeowners, many of whom had previously registered their phone numbers on the state’s No Call List.

The attorney general’s office claims MV Realty sent notaries to meet Missouri homeowners, but the notaries said they couldn’t answer any questions about the proposed contract.
