Indiana To Give Permanent Status To Homeowners Protection Unit

Indiana Attorney General Steve Carter is applauding Indiana lawmakers for passing a measure that would give permanent status to the Homeowner Protection Unit (HPU) created nearly two years ago as a test program administered by the attorney general’s office. The Unit investigates complaints and files disciplinary actions against licensed appraisers and licensed real estate agents & salespersons for alleged misconduct relating to real estate and mortgage fraud. Carter states:

• “By raising awareness of the Unit, we hope that more people will recognize that there is a place to turn to for help if they believe they have been the victim of, or suspect, questionable business practices by individuals or companies in these professions.”
