⚠️
Pre-License Transactions (2013, 2016): Two real estate transactions are recorded prior to DRE salesperson license issuance on January 8, 2018. Unlicensed real estate activity is a violation of B&P Code §10130. Referred to DRE Investigator Tom Nguyen.
-
⚠️
Dual Agency — OC25234412: Anna Ly represented both buyer and seller in a $1,662,500 Huntington Beach transaction. Dual agency disclosure obligations and potential fiduciary conflict under Cal. Civil Code §2079.16 et seq. flagged for DRE review.
-
⚠️
Post-Complaint Broker Transfer: Transferred from Pickford Real Estate Inc to Real Estate of the Pacific Inc effective December 7, 2025 — concurrent with active DRE complaint No. 1-24-0513-010. Timing is consistent with effort to distance from supervising broker liability.
-
🔴
Family Conflict / Undisclosed Principal: Anna Ly is the daughter of Phat L.K. Tran D.M.D., the property owner and defendant. Acting as listing agent for family member's property creates undisclosed principal relationship — DRE disclosure violation potential under Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §10176(d).
-
🔴
AP Silk Arts Inc — Corporate Entanglement: Anna Ly serves as CEO; Phat Tran (defendant) is Registered Agent. No separate business address from residential address. Commingling of personal residence, unlicensed clinic, and corporate entity at 1532 Orchard Dr warrants SOS and CDI review.
-
🟠
Smile Vietnam Dental Clinic — No SOS Entity: Dental clinic operating at Anna Ly's current residence 1532 Orchard Dr, Newport Beach. No California Secretary of State entity found for "Smile Vietnam." May implicate Dental Board of California (BPC §1670) through Phat Tran D.M.D. connection.
-
🟠
FOR RENT Signs — Open Garage (Street View Confirmed): Google Street View confirms FOR RENT signs displayed in open garage at 1532 Orchard Dr. Combined with Vui Nguyen listing Unit B at same address and Airbnb operation at 19235 Brynn Ct, suggests coordinated short-term rental network.
-
🟡
Vui Nguyen Network Link: Vui Nguyen listed Unit B at Anna Ly's current address 1532 Orchard Dr. Also operated Airbnb at 19235 Brynn Ct. Vui Nguyen removed Gasio bunk bed frame in June 2024 while lease was still active — contemporaneous with Tran's Airbnb conversion of the subject property.
-
🔵
AKA Complexity: Subject uses multiple name variants: Oyama, Anna Ly (legal/marriage name) and Lan T. Tran (birth/family name). Cross-referencing required across all DRE, court, corporate, and property records.
