Keller Williams Realty

Lauren Jerden paid back earnest money from her personal account to her buyers because she misjudged the smell of a home. Mrs Jerden bought a home site unseen for a customer and initially did not recognize the smell of cigarette smoke. When the sellers agent disputed the smell, Lauren Jerden advised her buyers to back out of the contract. The sellers kept the earnest money as a result. Lauren Jerden then paid $1000 from her own personal account to the father of the buyers, who then transferred the money to the buyers which is a violation of the realtor code of ethics. Derek Wagner and Tonya Towles were both advised of Lauren Jerdens ethics violation.
