Dick Gaylord: Consumer Alert / REMAX

    The process for ethics complaints works where there are complaints within the jurisdiction of the Association.

    As you mentioned to me you have taken your complaint to numerous entities and none will take it on.

    I am sorry I cannot help.  This matter falls under the jurisdiction of the local association and I have no authority to get involved.

    I wish you the best in your future real estate endeavors.  My personal advise:  don't let this consume you;  get on with your business and life.

    I am off to D.C. for NAR's midyear meetings.

         Dick Gaylord

Subject: NAR Ethics Complaint

I have contacted several different members of the Indiana Association

of Realtors (State Board.)  In addition, I have contacted a member of

the Board of Directors with MIBOR.  To date, I have not found anyone

willing to discuss my complaint with me.  As you know, NAR members say

they are dedicated to "protecting and promoting the interest of the

client."

I have not found this to be the case in Indiana.  Unfortunately, it

would appear that Scott Veerkamp continues to use "predatory lending"

tactics with his customers.  As you know from reading my letter, there

is a possibility that Scott has caused financial harm to over 1,000

clients in the last 5 years with the use of YSP.

I find this information to be disturbing...

Sincerely,
