Black realtors Russian: чёрные риелторы are real estate fraudsters in Russia and Belarus.

In a common scheme, "an agent colludes with a property owner," after the sale they appeal to a corrupt judge to invalidate the sale due to temporary insanity. And the byer loses the money. The byer may sue, "but usually unsuccessfully." As a defense against this type of fraud, In Moscow the condition for a seller was introduced for the seller to get a certificate of the absence of mental illness.

Another type of fraud involves builders who pre-sale unfinished buildings and "a discount and then declare bancrupcy."

Some black realtors look for old, lonely, or alcoholic sellers, defraud them, and if the victims protest, kill them.
