Watch out for barracuda teachers, there is some around that act like Real Estate agents, that use agents, govt offices and solicit listings to sell through these govt offices without a license.
This is in ref to: Helena Newman teacher, Joy Newman teacher, Lisa Bell agent and Edward Cunningham, Manager for Exit Premier office in Largo Md. And GCAAR Realtor Membership of Prince George County Maryland
Being an ethical Real Estate Broker sometimes is a thankless job. It seems the ethic boards are set up for political crooks.
Sometimes you have a barracuda client dressed in lambs clothing and some agents standing around to grab them, and be dam with the professional ethics standards that they are a member, you would think the board is a little maifa crowd. Has the Realtor Board completely lost it muscle to discipline members that refuse to obey the professional ethics of the board? We will see.
Hallie Stone independent broker encountered two barracudas, a mother Helena Newman teacher in the administrator office in Washington DC and a daughter Joy Chantel Newman teacher in Maryland, The mother introduced her daughter to find her a house, while Helena Newman tried to shop this agent over for residential rental property. She wanted listing without any connection to the agent and had not a dime it appeared. Helena Newman tried to use her barracuda lamb daughter for bate. Helena even at one time asked Stone to get her apartment buildings listings to her investors and she would give her a referral fee. She acted as she was an agent and Stone as a broker was nothing. Stone knew it was clearly illegal for Helena Newman to shop real estate without a license and offer referral fees is they sold. She was doing this at her tax payers office in Washington DC.
Stone just completely cut off from emailing her anything as it appeared that all the residential listings that she had supplied her, she never inquired about one. Stone thought that Helena was contacting the listing agent and shopping the properties around the offices to other buyers. As she claimed to Stone she didn't have money to buy but continued to want more properties.
Stone refused to continue to supply to her govt office anymore listing after a while without any discussion or wanting to see any of the listings supplied. Helena was not even friendly after the supply of listings was cut off. There was never one listing she wanted to see.
Joy Newman was very sheepish had no money either for purchasing a house then inherited a small amount of money that went to her head. Her mother had said that she was difficult and could not get along with anyone and was difficult to deal with. Stone never had any problem with dealing with her. She seemed a bit naive but it appeared this was an act. But inheriting the little money completely inflated her head. Stone showed her a few houses and consulted with her to try to keep her from getting into a problem. She found a house on Chelsea Dr.in Upper Marlboro, Md. That was a short sale.
She submitted an offer for the short sale. The lister was Judy Simmons of Keller Realty. Judy Simmons did not disclose that the property was going to foreclosure and the property was sold at foreclosure. Judy Simmons gave Stone all the information about the bank that had foreclosed on the property. Stone spent hours tracing the property down. Followed it through the system, the courts the foreclosure attorney and found the listing agent for the bank as it was now a Reo. She continued to notify Joy that she was on top of finding the property. Joy said she was still interested in the property. It took about 9 months then the agent for Franklin bank called Stone to inform Stone the property was now available.
Stone called Joy met her at the property and supplied a plumber for the property to check the property over at no cost to Joy. It appeared the radiators had frozen and broken. Joy told her after the plumber was there on Thursday night February 19 that she indeed wanted the property. Joy called Stone several times on February 20 saying she wanted to write the offer on this house. Stone told her for the past month that she need a pre approved letter from the bank. Joy told Stone she would get it on Friday. She called Stone Friday night and told me she would go to another bank and get the letter on Saturday Feb. 21 to write the offer at 3:00pm
The next day Stone called Joy several times without any answer and became concerned over her. Stone had worked with her for over a year and could not understand no response from Joy Chantel Newman.
It appeared Joy went to another agent that same day on Saturday Feb. 21,09 and wrote an offer with Lisa Bell, agent with Exit Premier Realty. Stone left messages for Joy Chantel Newman and she failed to return any calls after she had called late that Friday night set an appt and then the next day went to another agent.
These Barracuda teachers should not be in school teaching our children. Not from what happened to me but using the tax payers govt office to shop real estate without a license. Stone called the Real Estate Professional dept of Gcaar and told them the story. They said what you told us you would certainly be the procuring agent and gave me Lisa Bell's broker Edward Cunningham number at Exit Premiere in the Largo Maryland office of Prince Georges County.
Needless to say Edward Cunningham has completely ignored Stone. The professional Dept lady told Stone that Lisa Bell should have asked Joy Chantel Newman if she was working with anyone. If someone else showed her the house. This Lisa Bell in any kind of ethic should have taken these steps before she wrote an offer on the Chelsea property.
Edward Cunningham has completely refused to return Stone telephone call. This completely seems to be an office that does not acknowledge the licenses of another broker with agents that stalk clients of another.
We will now see how good is the GCAAR Realtors' office in Prince Georges County to enforce the Professional Ethics Conduct of this Member of the Ethics Premier Realtors Office. We will be following this outcome closely.
