TWO WIN REAL-VEST SUITS

Two customers have won judgments against a Smith Mountain Lake land sales company that is the subject of several lawsuits alleging fraudulent sales practices.

The future of Real-Vest - which attracted hundreds of customers through direct-mail giveaways - appears grim. The company recently closed its office in Franklin County, several months after media reports of the company's sales practices.

Real-Vest did not contest two lawsuits in Franklin County Circuit Court.
