Woods Investigator II Bureau of Enforcement Department of Business and Professional Regulation 7944 Front Beach Road Panama City Beach, FL., 32407 RE: DBPR Case E2001-82258 Dear Mrs Woods: I received your letter Saturday concerning the above case number. As I mentioned to you in our prior meeting, I was not aware there had been a complaint issued against one of our agents, Lisa Karen Morris, relating to a dual listing. Had I been made aware, I would have instructed Ms Morris to remove the listing from the Multiple Listing Service immediately and advise the other agent and client she had done so. I was also unaware the listing was not sent to the client within 24 hours. My other complaint refers to failure to control or manage the activities of another as required by Section 475.01. I am the broker of record and realize I should be monitoring the actions of the agents more closely. AU WHO TMA EYE Usnit rit EXHIBIT # PAGE .__. {__ OF a AS raye Se Exhibit__7 > _—. In the past six years, my husband and I have been through the three hurricanes with severe damage to our home. We had to relocate for nine months with Hurricanes Erin and Opal. In the summer and fall of 1996, my husband had a heart attack and was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. He is also severely hearing impaired because of a genetic disorder and the brain tumor. He also has very limited eye sight due to one disorder and the other is unknown. He had full myectomy surgery for his eye condition “blepharospasm” three years ago. After that time, he has developed “spasmodic torticollis which have affected him greatly. I have spent the last five years taking him to medical facilities, such as Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Shands Hospital, USA in Mobile, and UAB in Birmingham, for his different disorders. My husband’s driving is limited to local driving. I drive him to Fort Walton, Pensacola and Milton for business, etc, and also any out of town driving. He can see at a distance but is very restricted in his ability to read beyond one paragraph. We are constantly searching information by joining all the associations and foundations which address his particular disorders as well as searching medical professionals through the Internet. My husband has had other illnesses since his other problems manifested themselves. This has taken so much of my time. I handle the bookkeeping for his development companies as well. I am now aware of my shortcomings and would like to see this matter remedied as soon as possible. Please advise what other information I need to provide to you. Sincerely, ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLAINT a.
