Pam Aguirre is a member of the Metropolitan Indianapolis Board of
Realtors. I mailed a complaint to Pam regarding Scott Veerkamp's
Predatory Lending tactics. The complaint included documentation of
Loan Steering with YSP and Junk Fees. (She refused the delivery of my
complaint.)
This response provides additional evidence that REMAX and the National
Association of Realtors are participating in a "pattern of deception"
with the public. As I mentioned earlier, MIBOR states the following:
1. "REALTORS shall be careful at all times to present a true picture
in their advertising and their representations to the public." 2.
"The Code of Ethics is a promise to the public that when dealing with
a real estate agent who is a REALTOR, they can expect honest and
ethical treatment in all transaction- related matters." 3. "Only
REALTORS pledge to abide by the Code of Ethics, and only REALTORS are
held accountable for their ethical behavior."
Pam Aguirre had the following statement on her website dated May 1, 2008: "Pam is a member of the Metropolitan Indianapolis Board of Realtors (MIBOR) where she helps protect the interest of homeowners and increase professionalism in the industry by serving on the board of directors."
As a member of MIBOR, Pam did absolutely nothing to protect my interest. She refused to review my complaint against Scott Veerkamp (NAR.)
Here is an example of Scott Veerkamp's deception with Predatory Lending tactics: "You can trust our Realtors to always keep your interest first and foremost."
