The embattled Las Vegas Realtors (LVR) kicked off 2025 by having two of its presidents resigning on the same day.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports the LVR’s outgoing president, Merri Perry, resigned on Jan. 2 while Joshua Campa, her successor, also resigned on the same day. Campa stated in a social media post that his resignation was due to “a certain group of people have become fixated on wanting me to get removed since I embarked on this journey.”
Campa was replaced by 2025 President-elect George Kypreos, who uploaded a video on the LVR YouTube page that addressed the tumult that recently impacted the group, stating the days of “neon lights, cheap tricks and endless distractions” were behind the LVR.
“I’m speaking to you now because our entire membership, our entire community is owed an apology,” he said in the video. “This past year our association was rocked by allegations of election tampering, breaches of confidentiality, suspensions, resignations, we witnessed controversies played out in the glaring light of mainstream social media. Our failure is not about mistakes made by individuals, it’s about an institution falling short of the promise it makes to the people it serves.”
Last August, LVR CEO Wendy DiVecchio was suspended from her position for 30 days following allegations that she interfered with the 2025 election of the association’s board officers and directors. Several members of the LVR later filed formal complaints against the organization’s leaders with the Nevada attorney general’s office, claiming election tampering in the 15,000-member group.
I’m glad I live in the other Las Vegas, the original established in 1835 in New Mexico. Keep politics out of it and work for a better community.
