Woman Indicted For Appraising Homes Without License

Dorie DiMarca, Andover, Massachusetts, was charged with two counts of wire fraud concerning real estate appraisal services DiMarca had performed. DiMarca was arraigned on the charges on Monday, December 8, 2008, and entered pleas of not guilty to the charges. She was released on bail pending the January 21, 2009 trial date.

The indictment returned by the grand jury charges that DiMarca provided appraisal services to two mortgage brokerage companies located in New Hampshire - New England Regional Mortgage and First Call Mortgage. The indictment alleges that DiMarca represented herself as a licensed appraiser when she was not licensed and had no authority to provide real estate appraisals. The indictment list at least 22 properties for which DiMarca provided a purportedly legitimate appraisal. DiMarca e-mailed the appraisals from Massachusetts to the offices in New Hampshire.

The properties referenced in the complaint are:

17 Simpson Road, Pelham, New Hampshire;

320 Laxson Avenue, Manchester, New Hampshire;

14 Hemlock Street, Hillsborough, New Hampshire;

10 Danbury Circle, Amherst, New Hampshire;

13 Kendall Street, Rochester, New Hampshire;

74 Glen Street, Farmington, New Hampshire;

35 Clothespin Bridge Road, Webster, New Hampshire;

4 Mary Jo Lane, Derry, New Hampshire;

47A Nottingham Road, Deerfield, New Hampshire;

19 Nichol Lane, Nashua, New Hampshire;

12 River Road, Antrim, New Hampshire;

7 Strawberry Hill Road, Derry, New Hampshire;

15 Hillindale Drive, Hudson, New Hampshire;

75 Salmon Falls Road, Somersworth, New Hampshire;

48 Temple Road, Greenville, New Hampshire;

27 Ranger Road, Hollis, New Hampshire;

203 Walnut Avenue, Manchester, New Hampshire;

39 Tamar Road, Goffstown, New Hampshire;

875 Foster Road, Ashby, Massachusetts;

34 Orchard Path Road, Weare, New Hampshire; and

191 Trolley Street, Manchester, New Hampshire.

A trial of the case is scheduled for January 21, 2009. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Office of Inspector General for the Department of Housing and Urban Development conducted the investigation.

United States Attorney Colantuono reminds the public that an indictment merely alleges that a crime has been committed and that all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

    Real simple Dorthy. The perp steals and/or forges a license and the lender is to stupid to check it out. License theft and forgery is a common practice.

    All of the investors I have ever worked with require a copy of the appraisers license and the appraisal must have their license number also. How could this have happened without the underwriters knowledge? There is more to this story.

    Unlicensed appraisers working for licensed appraisers do this all the time. Big deal. The entire appraisal profession has been "hijacked" by these types and no one gives a damm. Especially the lenders who were just "bailed out", Congress who has its "head up and locked", state license boards who are understaffed and overwhelmed by the volume of this. Who is the ultimate victim, the public trust and ethical appraisers who are a dying breed.
