T
he Las Vegas Realtors association is facing a crisis after a tumultuous year marked by allegations of election tampering, an altercation at an event, and the sudden resignation of its new president-elect. George Kypreos, who was originally set to lead in 2026, has taken over as president after Joshua Campa stepped down just two days into his term, citing a toxic environment that affected his mental and physical health.
In a video apology posted on YouTube, Kypreos acknowledged the association's failures and promised to restore its credibility. He apologized for allegations of election tampering, breaches of confidentiality, suspensions, and resignations, stating that the institution had fallen short of its promise to serve the community.
Kypreos' predecessor, Joshua Campa, resigned after three years on the board, citing a toxic environment and concerns about blackmail. In his resignation letter, he expressed frustration with the association's culture, which he said prioritized personal gain over ethics and transparency.
The controversy began in August 2024 when member Britney Gaitan accused the association of election tampering during a vice presidential campaign. The incident led to a third-party investigation and a 30-day suspension for LVR CEO Wendy DiVecchio.
Kypreos has vowed to change the culture within the association, promising to institute reforms that will prevent small factions from controlling leadership decisions. He called on members to support qualified leaders who are committed to the values of transparency and ethics.
Campa expressed hope that Kypreos would succeed in restoring the association's credibility, saying he had been a solid neutral leader and urging members to give him their support.
