Concord, N.H. -- (Dec. 11, 2008) United States Attorney for the District of New Hampshire Tom Colantuono, FBI SAC Warren Bamford, and HUD-OIG SAC Peter Emerzian today announced that Dorie DiMarca, of Andover, Massachusetts, was charged with two counts of wire fraud concerning real estate appraisal services DiMarca had performed. DiMarca was arraigned on the charges on Monday, December 8, 2008, and entered pleas of not guilty to the charges. She was released on bail pending the January 21, 2009 trial date.
The indictment returned by the grand jury charges that DiMarca provided appraisal services to two mortgage brokerage companies located in New Hampshire - New England Regional Mortgage and First Call Mortgage. The indictment alleges that DiMarca represented herself as a licensed appraiser when she was not licensed and had no authority to provide real estate appraisals. The indictment list at least 22 properties for which DiMarca provided a purportedly legitimate appraisal. DiMarca e-mailed the appraisals from Massachusetts to the offices in New Hampshire.
A trial of the case is scheduled for January 21, 2009. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Office of Inspector General for the Department of Housing and Urban Development conducted the investigation.
United States Attorney Colantuono reminds the public that an indictment merely alleges that a crime has been committed and that all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
