myftef.org: Scott Veerkamp Con Game

Re: Franklin Township Education Foundation

When I filed my initial complaint with REMAX of Indiana, Jonathan
Nicholas had the following designations: NAR, CRB, CRS, and GRI.
As I mentioned earlier, my initial complaint included documentation of
Loan Steering and Predatory Lending. Likewise, I informed Jonathan
that Scott Veerkamp removed my property from the MLS without my
permission.

Please review this important information:
1. Jonathan Nicholas refused to meet with me and discuss my experience
with the REMAX Central Sting Operation. 2. Scott Veerkamp made
approximately $26,000 on a $120,000 property with a "land contract
scam." 3. Scott refused to conduct an open house on this property.
4. Scott lived "one block down the street" from this property. 5.
Jonathan Nicholas presented Scott Veerkamp with a "Lifetime
Achievement Award" for misrepresenting the value of this property and
stealing my money. 6. Scott used the award to recognize himself with
another advertisement in Christian Phone Book. 7. Apparently, this is
supposed to be an example of how to "protect and promote the interest
of your client." 8. In reality, this felt like a "mafia hit" on
behalf of the REMAX organization. 9. This "mafia hit" included the
following components: A. Loan Steering B. Predatory Lending C.
Inflated property value D. Land contract with a "due on sale" clause.
E. $26,000 "heist" for Scott Veerkamp...
REMAX agent David Bickell was the President of the Metropolitan
Indianapolis Board of Realtors (local association) in 2008. Likewise,
REMAX agent Dick Gaylord was the President of the National Association
of Realtors in 2008. Clearly, there is a "pattern of deception"
emerging with REMAX, NAR, and Loan Steering.

Please take time to review this example of Scott Veerkamp's deception:
"You can trust our Realtors to always keep your interest first and
foremost."

Loan 1: (Property value $150,000) A. $4,799 yield spread premium B.
$500 processing fee C. $250 document preparation fee D. $50 courier
fee E. $35 electronic filing fee F. $425 administration fee (lender
fee)

Loan 2: (Property value $120,000) A. $1,440 yield spread premium B.
$960 application fee C. $1,920 in "discount points" (paid to Scott
Veerkamp) D. $409 administration fee (lender fee) E. $150
underwriting fee (lender fee)

Jonathan Nicholas and The REMAX Central Sting Operation...

When I filed my initial complaint with REMAX of Indiana, Jonathan Nicholas had the following designations:  NAR, CRB, CRS, and GRI.

As I mentioned earlier, my initial complaint included documentation of Loan Steering and Predatory Lending.  Likewise, I informed Jonathan that Scott Veerkamp removed my property from the MLS without my permission.

Please take time to review this important information:

1. Jonathan Nicholas refused to meet with me and discuss my experience with the REMAX Central Sting Operation.  2. Scott Veerkamp made approximately $26,000 on a $120,000 property with a "land contract scam."  3. Scott refused to conduct an open house on this property.  4. Scott lived "one block down the street" from this property.  5. Jonathan Nicholas presented Scott Veerkamp with a "Lifetime Achievement Award" for misrepresenting the value of this property and stealing my money.  6. Scott used the award to recognize himself with another advertisement in Christian Phone Book.  7. Apparently, this is supposed to be an example of how to "protect and promote the interest of your client."  8. In reality, this felt like a "mafia hit" on behalf of the REMAX organization.  9. This "mafia hit" included the following components:  A. Loan Steering  B. Predatory Lending  C. Inflated property value  D. Land contract with a "due on sale" clause.  E. $26,000 "heist" for Scott Veerkamp.

The information above provides additional documentation that REMAX and the National Association of Realtors are participating in a "pattern of deception" with the public.

REMAX Central: Open House ?

Scott Veerkamp had an "open houses" link on a previous website.  Nonetheless, he refused to conduct an open house on the property I listed with him in Wanamaker, IN.  (Property value $120,000)

Scott lived in the same neighborhood where the property was listed. This is the same property he used to collect approximately $26,000 in profit with his "Bait and Switch" strategy.  This deceptive strategy involved a land contract with a "due on sale clause."  As I mentioned earlier, this experience felt like a "mafia hit" on behalf of The REMAX Central Sting Operation.

Apparently, Scott felt $26,000 was not enough money to justify "driving one block down the street" to conduct an open house.  As you might expect, REMAX of Indiana presented Scott Veerkamp with a "Lifetime Achievement Award" for his effort in collecting $26,000 at my expense. 

Please note:  Jonathan Nicholas (NAR) was informed about the shady business tactics of Scott Veerkamp.  I included documentation of Loan Steering and Predatory Lending in the complaints I filed with his office.  Jonathan Nicholas presented Scott Veerkamp with additional "awards" after reviewing evidence that REMAX Central was preying on the unsuspecting public.

REMAX Central: $26,000 In Profit On A $120,000 Property

Again, I want to emphasize Scott Veerkamp made approximately $26,000
in profit on a $120,000 property. Please understand this is a real
number. It is not a "misprint."

Scott accomplished this profit using a "Bait and Switch" strategy with
a REMAX Central listing in Wanamaker, IN. This is why I refer to his
company as the REMAX Central Sting Operation. In my personal
experience, this felt like a "mafia hit" on behalf of the REMAX
organization.

I mailed a hard-copy complaint to 13 different contacts affiliated
with the REMAX organization. This includes REMAX of Indiana and REMAX
International. I was consistently "brushed aside" and ignored by
REMAX corporate and members of the National Association of Realtors.
Obviously, Scott Veerkamp was not focused on "protecting the interest
of his clients." In reality, he used his customers as a profit center
to expand his personal bank account.

Please take a moment to review the following information:
1. REMAX of Indiana presented Scott with a "Lifetime Achievement
Award" after reviewing my complaint. 2. My complaint included
documentation of Loan Steering and Predatory Lending. 3. Jonathan
Nicholas (NAR) presented the award to Scott Veerkamp. 4. In return,
Scott used the award to recognize himself with another advertisement
in Christian Phone Book.

Jonathan Nicholas / REMAX of Indiana

Jonathan Nicholas was with REMAX of Indiana when I alerted him about
Scott Veerkamp's Predatory Lending tactics. To my knowledge, REMAX
did nothing to prevent Scott from "stealing equity from struggling
families."
