You start at the same place where your attorney left you four years ago. You will need to sue both your brother AND the mortgage firm, since it appears that both were complicit in this forgery/fraud scheme.
Yes, your brother may well end up serving jail time. I have no idea why you have waited four years to bring this forward. Whether or not your brother threatened you, the time to take legal action was four years ago.
Now get an attorney and get going on pursuing this situation. If you elect to not pursue it, then you will simply lose the $76,000 you are complaining about.

Are you stupid? You didn’t call the police four years ago? Throw the bustard in jail!!

Yes you probably will end up suing them both (though proving what the mortgage broker did may be tough, since your brother apparently signed all this stuff – by the way, how do you know the mortgage broker lied, maybe your brother lied to the mortgage broker).
This is a very rare question, where the asker has already consulted with a lawyer, but when you did this the lawyer said your brother would go to jail (duh – he is clearly guilty of forgery and fraud, among other things). Well, your brother may well go to jail but why did that stop you before. He did some very illegal things and its cost you alot of money, and now you are going to have to pursue him for these things to get you money back. Of course that may send him to jail, but thats the risk he took when he did these illegal things. So, go back to that former lawyer (or find a new one if you didn’t like that one) and pursue him over this stuff.
If you can prove what he has done you should be able to reverse the sale. You may never get your money back (if he has no money how is he going to pay you back) but at least you can get your house back and try selling it again.
By the way, if you do nothing for a few more years the statue of limitations on this will lapse and you will lost the right to sue them, so you’d better act now. If fact, possibly the statute has already lapsed for some of this stuff, but 4 years probably isn’t long enough.

Why would you sell someone your home when they couldn’t even pay their rent to you?

Sue every one involved, if it is not your signature the contract is voided. The title company would be where I would start first, they are regulated by the Federal government check out . then I would contact the local sheriff.
If your brother could not pay rent he surely can not pay the mortgage payments

I just find the story to be too incredulous. No one can be this dumb.
