MICA HOPE MATHEWS (GREENSBORO) – By Consent, the Commission reprimanded Mathews, effective April 1, 2023. The Commission found that June 2021, Mathews acted as a listing agent for a seller and advertised the renovated property as having a new HVAC. The dates of the HVAC units were actually 2003 and 2015 although a new range hood air makeup system had been installed. The buyer discovered the discrepancy and terminated the transaction, requesting a return of a portion of the $10,000 due diligence fee. Mathews revised her MLS listing following termination of the contract.
HEATHER NICOLE SHELTON (GREENBORO) – By Consent, the Commission suspended the broker license of Shelton for a period of 18 months, effective February 1, 2023. The Commission found that as the broker-in-charge and the qualifying broker of a Firm, Shelton executed a listing agreement to advertise real property for sale. Shelton failed to have all owners of the Subject Property sign the agency agreement. After the Subject Property went under contract, the owners changed the water source from City/County to a well. One of the owners notified Shelton of this change a few days before closing. Shelton failed to inform the buyers or their agent of the water source change. After closing, buyers expended thousands of dollars to run a new water line and meter to the Subject Property as the well could not be used as a water source for the Subject Property. Shelton’s license was on “inactive” status from July 1, 2022 through September 15, 2022, yet Shelton continued to engage in brokerage.
