LISA ANDREWS MATHEWS (HAMPSTEAD) – By Consent, the Commission reprimanded Mathews, effective March 15, 2023. The Commission found that Mathews acted as the listing agent in the sale of residential property. The subject property was being used as a vacation rental and was located in Wrightsville Beach. Mathews was aware that the buyers intended to occupy the subject property immediately after closing. The seller advised Mathews that they intended there would be no rental contracts to be honored after the closing date, and that they would inform their rental agency to stop bookings accordingly, but Mathews failed to confirm this, and the property was in fact rented for periods after the closing date. Some tenants with existing leases were forced to move to other locations resulting in some of them incurring greater expenses, in violation of the NC Vacation Rental Act.
