07/01/2006 | Hearing No. 3021

In Formal Hearing # 3021 the Commission ordered that “…Respondent Jenny Veltens take 18 hours of continuing education to be approved by the Executive Director of the Commission; that these hours will not count for any required continuing education.  The Commission also ordered Respondent Veltens to pay a $500.00 fine to the Arkansas Real Estate Commission. The Commission also ordered that “... Arkansas Real Estate Commission staff perform an investigation of Respondent Veltens’ real estate office to make sure that there are no additional MLS listings improperly represented with different photographs.”

• The Commission found Respondent Jenny Veltens guilty of violating Arkansas Code Annotated § 17-42-311(a) (13).
• Respondent Veltens listed the property in the MLS marketing system which she knew would be viewed by other licensees, and placed a photograph of property in the MLS system other than that of the property listed; she failed to disclose in the MLS that she had been unable to determine the exact location of the lot, that the photograph was not a depiction of the lot listed, and did not reasonably disclose that the buyer must determine the location of the lot at his own risk.  Respondent’s conduct constitutes improper dealing.
