Two Colorado women, Amber Zamora and Charity Krantz, are facing multiple felony charges for allegedly forging a quit claim deed to steal and resell a Denver home for nearly $400,000. Investigators say the women falsified both the homeowner’s and a notary’s signatures on the deed, which they filed with the city clerk in 2019. They then sold the property to CLM Holdings, LLC for $387,878.62. Neighbors reported suspicious activity, recalling how the women claimed to be making repairs while the home had long been neglected. The property, originally sold under the fraudulent deed for just $10, has since been demolished and replaced by a $2.7 million residence.
The case, filed in June 2021, remains active in Denver District Court. Zamora is scheduled for trial in January, while Krantz has yet to secure legal representation. Legal experts say the women could face prison time if convicted, given the seriousness of the alleged theft. The case underscores the growing risk of deed fraud, where forged documents can change property ownership on paper, leading to costly legal battles and losses for unsuspecting buyers and homeowners across Colorado.
