Here's a suggested way to find an honest banker.
It was told to a German friend of mine who was thinking of buying a home in the south of Spain, a few years ago, right when it was discovered that most recently-built homes were illegal and had to be bulldozed.
She was looking for a real-estate lawyer she could trust to do an honest transaction with a seller who really owned the home and the land.
Local Spanish friends told her:
"Go and live in the area you're interested in. Visit the local church. Go to mass on Sundays. Chat to the priest. Get to know the congregation for a couple of months. When you've become accepted as a member of the congregation, ask if any lawyers are members. That way you may find an honest one.... maybe - quizás."
Yep, do LOTS of homework. Maybe this approach will get you good advice, from a banker as well as a lawyer....
