"Thanks to our Volusia Sheriff's Office fraud unit, Valiant is now in custody for his elaborate scam on this couple who originally hired him to sell their property," the sheriff wrote Friday.

"When both victims got sick and became hospitalized with deteriorating health, their Scumbag Realtor created fraudulent documents making himself their health care surrogate and power of attorney," he continued.

After signing the do-not-resuscitate order, that victim was taken off life support the next day.

Valiant drained their bank accounts, willed their home and two other properties to himself, and took their Dodge Ram pickup for his own use, according to the sheriff.

The three properties Valiant acquired after the victim’s death totaled $1.6 million, according to property appraiser valuations. Two of the properties were oceanfront Flagler Beach parcels that Valiant and another Realtor, Constance Kellner, spoke of developing into a large condo complex or hotel.

Instead of working to sell the properties, it appears Valiant provided his victims fake lowball offers – including one from his own company.

Kellner, also known as ‘Coastal’ Connie Kellner, is charged with two counts of being an accessory after the fact. The investigation showed that she had full knowledge of Valiant’s scheme and helped him with the fraudulent power of attorney and life estate deed documents, according to Chitwood.

Valiant is charged with an organized scheme to defraud, exploitation of an elderly or disabled adult, grand theft over $100,000, grand theft of a vehicle, criminal use of personal ID information, and illegal use of credit cards. He was picked up by the Flagler County Sheriff's Office Thursday night.

Bond was set at $375,000.
