Salt Lake City, UT
/ October 27, 2006 / Press Release / -- As the political
campaigning hits full stride, there are those that are looking beyond
the election in 2006. With only a few months left in the year,
Utah House of Representative Paul Ray works diligently in preparation of
introducing Utah's Mortgage Fraud Bill to the 2007 Legislative Session.
Although in the past
many groups have vehemently opposed such legislative language, critics
and proponents now agree that Utah's ranking of number two in the nation
for mortgage fraud is a call to action that can no longer be ignored.
On October 24, 2006,
Representative Ray met with industry professionals and law enforcement
officials in the West building of the Capitol Complex to amass a work
group for discussion and input on a bill certain to make history for the
State of Utah.
"To be apart of
such an esteemed group of professionals and peers certainly is a
humbling experience but is also shows that those within the real estate
industry respect the work and insight that Perfect Home Living has
brought to the table," said Sheri Fitzpatrick, Utah Real Estate Broker
and CEO of Perfect Home Living INC., a Non-Profit Organization committed
to the education of consumers, financial institutions and law
enforcement agencies on loopholes used by mortgage and real estate fraud
criminals.
From the meeting's
onset leaders of Utah's Real Estate community discussed the pros and cons
of Representative Ray's bill. Chris Kyler, CEO of the Utah
Association of Realtors, at many times during the meeting displayed his
legal prowess of the law and deeply cemented passion at seeing this
legislation to fruition.
Likewise other
meeting attendees like Cory Martin, Executive Director for the Utah
Association of Mortgage Brokers repeatedly expressed his Association's
willingness to come to the table and desire to work with Perfect Home
Living on public service announcements and other forms of education for
Utah's consumers.
"Without question
the meeting was a success and for the first time we had law enforcement
in attendance," added Fitzpatrick.
West Valley City's
Chief of Police, Thayle "Buzz" Nielsen took a proactive role in round
tabling and discussing the need for law enforcement to gain training and
education in an effort to better understand the red flags of the
mortgage and real estate industry.
Chief Nielsen's
dialogue opened the door for Perfect Home Living to provide educational
training on mortgage and real estate fraud to law enforcement officers
of West Valley City.
"We see this as a
tremendous opportunity not only for Perfect Home Living but also for
West Valley City Law Enforcement and for the diverse make up of citizens
that call West Valley City home. In addition we hope that Mayors
and Chiefs of Police throughout this great state of Utah, follow in
Chief Nielsen's footsteps of remaining proactive to examples of mortgage
and real estate fraud," added Fitzpatrick.
Additionally in
attendance were Senior Fraud Investigators from Freddie Mac, Pierre
Alley, Chairman of the Utah Mortgage Commission and Derek Miller, Director of
Utah's Division of Real Estate.
