Troubled Las Vegas Realtors Loses Two Presidents … in a Day

Two presidents of Las Vegas Realtors quit — on the same day.

After a troubled year at the top of Nevada’s largest nonprofit trade association, Merri Perry, LVR’s outgoing president, and Joshua Campa, who was to succeed her this year as president, resigned, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.

On Jan. 2, Perry stepped down. Her replacement, Campa, then walked out, citing a “litany of reasons” including the year-long mental toll on himself, his family and his business.

Campa was replaced with 2025 president-elect George Kypreos, who released a video on YouTube saying the days of “neon lights, cheap tricks and endless distractions” at the LVR are over.

“I’m speaking to you now because our entire membership, our entire community, owes 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,” he said. “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.”

The Realtors’ tumultuous year began in March with a ”physical altercation” between two agents at a board meeting, ending with police summoned to the scene.

In August, dozens of agents stormed the Las Vegas Realtors headquarters demanding an independent investigation and transparency into alleged election interference by LVR CEO Wendy DiVecchio.

DiVecchio had just been temporarily booted from her office after she was accused of interfering in the 2025 election of board officers and directors.

Law firm Greenberg Traurig was hired to conduct a third-party investigation into the allegations, but never released the report for public review, a former board member told the Review-Journal.

This fall, members of the association filed formal complaints to the Nevada Attorney General’s Office about the LVR leadership structure and the alleged election meddling, according to the newspaper.

The Las Vegas Realtors has about 15,000 members and controls access to the Multiple Listings Service, where most homes are listed for sale.
