Remax Is Pursuing Erick Jimenez & Property Tropics For Fraud

February 8, 2015 by Peace Leave a Comment

Remax sign for Panama1stRealty.com & A Panama phone number
That Is Erick Jimenez’s Phone Number, But He Is NOT a Remax Agent

There are still Remax signs with Erick Jimenez’s number on them around town.

The phone number on this PropertyTropic sign & Remax sign (above) are the same. Erick Jimenez’s Number.

They have removed most of them, but some still remain.

Misleading Clients

Erick Jimenez has no real estate license, but he wants to give foreigners the impression that he is a Remax agent.

He is smart enough not to lie about it though.

If asked point blank, Erick will admit that he has no real estate license and is not affiliated with Remax.

Another example of Erick Jimenez leading people to think he is a Remax agent, when he is not. That is his phone number.

But I guess enough people don’t ask. Using the Remax sign still give him enough credibility with enough people to make them worth it.

However, once Remax International is done with him, Erick might regret misleading those clients.

Remax Investigating PropertyTropics.com & Erick Jimenez

PropertyTropics.com For sale sign on house in Puerto Armuelles Panama
PropertyTropics Behind Bars? No, but Erick Jimenez is facing 2 separate counts of real estate fraud in Panama

Currently, Remax’s Foreign Trademark Team is investigating Property Tropics. The foreign trademark team is located in Denver Colorado.

The reason Remax is pursuing PropertyTropic, and not solely Erick Jimenez, is that Erick is an employee of PropertyTropics.

Property Tropics is owned by long-time Florida real estate developer and agent, James “Jimmy” Wellborn.   It is known that Jimmy personally ordered the Remax signs, with Erick’s phone number, made.

Remax is currently working with the local office in Panama to determine the best way to pursue its case against both Erick Jimenez & Property Tropics.

Both Remax of Panama and Remax of the USA unequivically state that PropertyTropics.com was never given permission to use the Remax logo.  In addition, Remax has confirmed that Erick Jimenez is not a recognized Remax agent in Panama, or in any other location.

Erick Jimenez, PropertyTropics & Remax Sign  –  Same Phone Number

Furthermore, only the main office phone number can be displayed on a Remax Panama signs. Agent phone numbers are not allowed.  However, Erick Jimenez’s phone number is on the Remax sign here in Puerto Armuelles.

Call any of the numbers in the signs in this post.  They are all Erick Jimenez’s personal cell phone number.
