A real estate agent showed up at my door with five burly guys, claiming my brother had used my house as collateral for a 2-million-dollar loan. I froze. The property deed was supposed to be locked in my safe. I opened it. Empty. "Your brother said you're a good-for-nothing sister, and this house would be his sooner or later." The agent smirked and shoved an eviction notice at me. "You have three days to clear out, or we'll bring the sheriff." I looked at their smug faces and laughed. "Foreclose? On what?" I slowly pulled out a document. "This property was condemned and delisted a year ago for the Eastside redevelopment. There is no deed left to take." The agent's face went chalk-white. Right on cue, my brother called. I answered and asked him one quiet question that broke him.
