Clark County Nevada
An ethics complaint was filed this week with the Great Las Vegas Association of Realtors against Lawra Kassee Bulen, who recently appeared on a local Las Vegas News on Channel 3 NBC representing herself as a Real Estate “Expert” when in fact she never sold a single house in Nevada since obtaining her Real Estate License less than a year ago.
Kassee Bulen is charged in the ethics complaint with violating:
Article 12
“REALTORS® shall be honest and truthful in their real estate communications and shall present a true picture in their advertising, marketing, and other representations.”
Kassee Bulen was also cited for the following ethics violations:
Standard of Practice 12-5
REALTORS® shall not advertise nor permit any person employed by or affiliated with them to advertise real estate services or listed property in any medium (e.g., electronically, print, radio, television, etc.) without disclosing the name of that REALTOR®’s firm in a reasonable and readily apparent manner.
Standard of Practice 12-5
REALTORS® shall not advertise nor permit any person employed by or affiliated with them to advertise real estate services or listed property in any medium (e.g., electronically, print, radio, television, etc.) without disclosing the name of that REALTOR®’s firm in a reasonable and readily apparent manner.
The basis of the Bulen ethics complaint:
“Lawra Kassee Bulen appeared on Las Vegas News on Channel 3 NBC pretending to show a house to a prospective buyer which she neither was the listing agent for nor the buyer’s agent for. Kassee Bulen put herself out as a real estate “expert” on TV. Kassee Bulen’s action was meant to defraud and mislead the public including prospective real estate clients into believing she had actual experience in the residential real estate in Nevada when in fact Bulen never sold any such homes ever. “

Republican Candidate for Clark County Public Administrator Thomas Fougere retained Bulen Strategies owned and operated by Kassee Bulen to manage his campaign. But according to the Nevada Secretary of State’s official website and Clark County business records Kassee Bulen’s company, Bulen Strategies, is not a licensed lawful business in the state of Nevada.
This calls for Fougere decision making into question.
