Hello Brio Family,

It is true that Jessica will be leaving Brio. As Jessica mentioned in her email her departure was planned for September 15th but it appears that at this point she will be leaving us sooner.  On a personal level I like Jessica and Jason very much and I am sad to see them go, however I have received great value from our time together and believe that everything happens for a reason.

Along with Tuesday's planned announcement of Jessica's departure we were planning to announce the very exciting and positive news that we have completed our merger with Realty Executives Professionals of Bellevue and effective immediately the new combined entity will become "Realty Executives Brio".

This merger represents a major win-win for both companies and although Jessica's email came as a surprise to me tonight, I am glad that I am able to share this news about our merger with you all today and not have to wait until Tuesday!

Jessica's departure and the merger of Brio with Realty Executives will not affect any of your license statuses.  Although Jessica's early departure was not planned, this merger was planned, and everything is in place to ensure the transition is seamless for all of our agents. We will have a Realty Executives Brio welcome packet ready for you at our Tuesday's meeting.  That packet will contain everything needed for your transition. I would also like to note that all of our agents will have the option to keep their current commission plans or switch to one of Realty Executives new plans.  It will make sense for some of you to stay on your current plan, and for some of you to switch. We will be available to run through the differenent scenarios with you.

I pursued this merger with Realty Executives for a few reasons that I would like to briefly detail below in this email in preparation for a much more detailed question and answer time during Tuesday's meeting.

The benefits to our agents from this merger:

1. Brio will be maintaining the Brio name while at the same time it will be picking up a branding association with one of the largest national real estate brokerages in the world.

2. Although Brio has excelled at many things over the years, especially in the technical arena, we have fallen short in establishing systems and tools.  After spending some time learning about the Realty Executives platform with Ken Bell, my new partner and our new broker, I was blown away to say the least with what Realty Executives has to offer our agents.

3. Combining our two offices will result in one power office with over 100 real estate professionals.  With this size we will become one of the largest and highest producing real estate offices in Seattle. This will add to our marketing power as a listing office as well as benefit our agents with increased market/brand awareness.

4. We are taking a very forward and aggressive stance in this tough real estate market.  This merger will allow the combined entity to operate with the combined revenue of both companies and the overhead of one.  This means that not only will we be in a stronger financial position to weather this down market, but we will have greater cash flow to invest back into our business for growth and towards valuable marketing initiatives.

Before I finish this email I would like to take a paragraph to introduce our new business partner, and our new broker, Ken Bell. Being a licensed real estate agent longer than I have been alive (since 1974), Ken brings a rich experience that Brio has been lacking since being founded four years ago.  In 1977 (still before I was born) Ken participated in the founding of the first 100% office in all of Canada. Later he relocated to the Seattle area and began a 15 year run of being a top salesperson, including: Top 1% in Coldwell Banker, and #5 agent in the northwest region for RE/MAX.  

I know this is a lot of news to digest via email and in such a short time period.  With this in mind, Ken, Sara, and I, will be available all day tomorrow, at the Brio offices, to answer any questions or to talk through what this means with any of you who would like to meet. I will also be available on my cell phone (425.753.3006) all week if you can't make it in or would rather just give me a call. 

Please feel free to "Reply All" to this email if you believe that your question or comment will benefit the other Brio agents, or if you prefer a private conversation please feel free to email me directly at washburn.jonathan@gmail.com.  

I am so fortunate to journey with you all during this exciting time.

Sincerely,
Jonathan Washburn
Brio Realty, Founder

Jon:

You know good and well that I will be leaving you sooner.  We had and agreement and then you tried to go back and alter it as is your usual form.  Our agreement was that I would stay until the 15th and you would pay me up front so that I could get Micheal Creel taken care for his rent and I was to help expalin all the advantages of why this merger would be a good idea for the agents. 

If you liked me and Jason so much than you would honor your agreements as they were put in place and realize that there is more to this world than just you.  My family has been jerked around since moving here. 

 

Things have never lined up the way that you have told me that would be...including having our home ready for us when we arrived after driving 3,400 miles.  You have recieved great value from our being here because you got 2 full time employees for the price of one (thats a lie).  The deal was to allow Jason to go into Liz's job and take her salary to offset our salary loss (Jason, the convicted felon).  That never happended either.

While I do agree that the merger will offer some real advantages to the agents, don't you dare sit there and try to sell them a bowl of sunshine without full disclosure of the reasons for ther merger.  I have not signed my license into the state yet to relinqiush control as managing broker and I will be damend if you put your interest above theirs without fully explainging all the details to them.  They have monies, time and effort invested and they are deserved 100% honesty and up frontness from you.  Nothing less.

I'm not moving on to bigger and better things by the way.  These agents are the biggest and best thing that I've ever had the privledge of being around.  The deserve the very best and I pray that this move will give them everything that they deserve. 

 

EVERYTHING and that is less of both of you and more support, encouragement and follow through.  Yes, I know you have a high power attorney in Seattle but I don't give a damn.  I will make it my mission in life to ensure that these agents are taken care of (Ha, now that's funny knowing what I know now; currently she says most agents are thugs). 

Boy, I went round with RE/MAX and 2 mutli-million dollar developers and I came out on top (not really, in 2007 she was broke and left Georgia). Don't mess with me or my agents.  You lay it all on the line and give them full honesty and disclosure about this merger.  I will not have them make a decision without knowing all the facts when their lives, their families and their clients are on the line.  Until I sign that paperwork...I am still broker.  Don't you ever forget it.

Jessica Horton

Jessica,

I don't believe that debating back and forth in this manner will accomplish what you are hoping to achieve. Your email this afternoon came as a shock to me. I had no idea that you felt I had changed any deal with you. In fact I have tried to accommodate your needs to the best of my ability, even going so far as to agreeing to pay you upfront and increasing your compensation for the two week period. 

It is important to note that after receiving your email tonight I tried to call you to address your concerns but you have not answered or returned my calls. Now with this email you have made some accusation against me that puts me into a difficult situation where addressing your concerns adequately would require me to go into a direction that I do not feel is right in this public forum.

With all of that being said, I would like to suggest that we meet in person or over the phone Monday to go over any outstanding concerns that you have, and then if you would like I would welcome you to come to the scheduled office meeting on Tuesday and we can talk through any remaining issues you have in person as a group. It is obvious to me that you care very much about our agents and as long as your focus is on the well being of our team, you are welcome at the meeting.

At this point, I would respectfully ask that you refrain from issuing any further public comments/statements until you and I have had time to adequately discuss this matter further. Thank you!

No, Jon.  I will not.  I will have it all out in the open.  Out in the open for everybody to see...one way or another.  Your e-mail is not factual to our chats and conversations and I fully plan to call you on it.  I've always operated under the philosphy that when you don't have anything to hide...it's best to get all out in the open.  (yet she get's quite upset when someone puts her business "all out in the open")

You can try playing that little "jittery, dodgy" hidden behind politeness, game all day long with me but it isn't going to fly.  I see right through you and you know that I do.

I suggest you think long and hard about how you handle this and honoring the obligations that you put in place.  I suggest you think long and hard about full disclosure to these agents.  I hope they all do what is best for them...and if that is going with ther merger that is great!  I am all for it.  However, they will know 100% of the facts to make up their minds with. 

Jon, I was packing and didn't hear the phone nor did I know that you had called.  I didn't just miss your call.  I missed Sondra's too.  So, I wasn't just dodging you.  You didn't leave a voicemail and you made your stance perfectly clear when once again you changed the rules as you went a long.  We had a deal and you backed out...again. 

Now, you can honor your obligation to me and my family so that I can honor mine or we can do this the long, hard and costly way.  That choice is up to you.  You should know me well enough to know that I've got my ducks in a row when I call somebody out.  You should know me well enough to know that I've already figured out what you think you know.  Assumptions can be a really bad thing.  I started covering my bases with you 4 months ago. 

I will offer you the hand of friendship one last time and let you do the right thing by the agents and my family.  Otherwise, it won't be me that you will be talking to come Tuesday morning (empty threat). 

Do the right thing, Jon.  Don't play chicken with me.  You've jerked my family around and I'm pissed.  Your wife thinks she has seen me angry.  You haven't ever seen me angry.  Don't mess with my kids and their stability.  Do what you said that you were going to do and give these agents all the information. 

Jessica Horton

Brio Agents,

Please afford me the benefit of the doubt and suspend judgment on this email and the previous emails sent by Jessica until tomorrow afternoon, at which time, hopefully I will have had a chance to speak with her in person and have an opportunity to understand all of her concerns.

My integrity is very important to me and I could not imagine compromising it for the small sum of money being debated in these emails. I do everything within my control to honor my agreements and uphold my word.  Many of you have done business with me for many years and know this to be true, others I have not yet had the pleasure to meet, and it is understandable that this set of emails would bring doubts.

I expect to also learn tomorrow about Jessica's concerns regarding "full disclosure" with our agents. Once I know what she is referencing I will address it with you all as well.

I am so sorry that you have had to be a part of this.

Take care,
~Jonathan

It would be very hard for me to come up with $2,800.00 this month. I have not been paid.  I have not gotten my reimbursements that are just about equal to your rent. 

Jon, isn't going to pay me anything that he owes me just to make me go away.

I have put in a call to my attorney back in Georgia to see where we are on my counter proposal for settlement.  That would be a quick source of funding for me if I can get that wrapped up.

(Jessica's "case" in Georgia was settled according to her, her assets and accounts were unfrozen - no money was ever paid to me from those funds).

Michael:

I apologize for the delay but I've not had access to my computer the last couple of days.

1.  Yes, Amber did buy my dining set (not yours) and her sister came and picked up the table and chairs.  She was supposed to come right back and pick up the rest (china cabinet and 2 servers) but she didn't.  She then later called and said that they would not be able to make it back...they were going on vacation. 

She wanted to know if I would refund a portion of her money and I told her, "no!".  She was to call me when she got back in town and I never heard back from her until I had already moved out. 

 

So, I told her to make arrangements with Ardell or I would either credit her a portion of the money back later on (when I can afford it) if she was not able to get the stuff. Technically...it belongs to you now and that is up to you if you give it to her. 

You would be able to sell it on craigs list for a few hundred dollars.  The same with the couch.  Ardell was supposed to get with you about the staging items in the bedroom next to the master bedroom.  I ran out of room to store stuff and couldn't fit any more.

2.  I am not aware of any such damage to any latice work. (I will post the photos and you will see this is laughable)

3.  Ardell has your keys and has been in the house on at least 1 occassion.  You told me to cooperate with her and I did.  She asked me to please leave the keys where she could get them and I did.

4.  As far as a second set of keys...I NEVER got any keys from you or your wife.  The only keys that I got were from the renter.  Ever. Jason tried to get a set from her on the day we started moving in and she told him that she would have to get back with him on that.  So, when the renter moved out...he got them from him.  Now, there is some sort of keys in a drawer that still has a lot of your stuff in in it...it is in the kitchen.  We never messed with that drawer or your stuff.  We just left it like it was.

I hope this helps answer your questions.  I am working on my end to help get you squared away. (she's never paid me a penny since witing this, and these are the people that are thumping that Bible telling folks how they should live their lives)

My preference would be for you to sell them off and apply it to my debt.  I know that you will be honest about the amounts collected (I had no time to try and sell her junk to paydown her bill on a two week R&R from Iraq). 

 

I would prefer to handle her on a personal level for a reimbursement...which would be secondary to you collecting monies owed.  You have been greatly inconvenienced and she made a choice not to come back that night (as discussed) and to go on vacation.  So, I am not being coldhearted...but it was a matter of priorities for her.

They might be the keys in the drawer.  I don't know.  I am not aware of any such deal being made and left for us.  I am only aware of getting the key to the front door from the renter.  There is a set of keys in the kitchen, in a drawer.  We never used them.

As I've told Ardell in regards to Amber, Washington law prohibits me from handing out a tenants belongings (see below) and as you said, she apparently abandoned the items and has left them stored at my house for months. I'll take a look at them today when I get in the house and see what to do with them. To sell them or even give them to Amber (which I'm not inclined to do at this time) I'll need something in writing from you. The money would go towards your debt.

The latice was likely kicked out by one of the children to gain access under the benches. Looks like a spot that would entice a kid, and kids tend to do such things. Its not a huge expense, I'll send you pictures of it. You can see the latice broken to bit lying under both benches.
________________________________
Washington Law

When a rental has been abandoned, the landlord may enter the unit and remove any abandoned property. It must be stored in a reasonably secure place. A notice must be mailed to the tenant saying where the property is being stored and when it will be sold. If the landlord does not have a new address for the tenant, the notice should be mailed to the rental address, so it can be forwarded by the U.S. Postal Service. How long a landlord must wait before selling abandoned property depends on the value of the goods..

If the total value of property is less than $50, the landlord must mail a notice of the sale to the tenant and then wait seven days. Family pictures, keepsakes, and personal papers cannot be sold until 45 days after the landlord mails the notice of abandonment. If the total value of the property is more than $50, the landlord must mail a notice of the sale to the tenant and then wait 45 days. Personal papers, family pictures and keepsakes can be sold at the same time as other property.

The money raised by the sale of the property goes to cover money owed to the landlord, such as back rent and the cost of storing and selling the goods. If there is any money left over, the landlord must keep it for the tenant for one year. If it is not claimed within that time, it belongs to the landlord. If a landlord takes a tenant's property and a court later determines there had not actually been an abandonment,\the landlord could be ordered to compensate the tenant for loss of the property, as well as paying court and attorney costs.

My keys have the garage door opener on them, the tenents had the garage door type that clips on a visor. So I can tell which set Ardell has today. My wife says she took the keys over there and put them on the kitchen counter, so hopefully they will turn up. I've had a cold ever since returning, so I'm not on top of my game today. My wife has returned from China as well.

Michael:


John and Sara did not make payment on the moving truck and I had no choice but to let it go back to the company.  It really ticks me  off because the little asshole used it personally to move from Bellevue to Seattle and stalled me on the payment.  Then he refused to make a payment.  So, I had no way of hauling it off because AS USUAL, I couldn't get in touch with Don to haul it off.

When I spoke to Ardell last, it was mentioned that I took my kids to see Mount Rushmore because I was in South Dakota.  I was in South Dakota because I have a very good friend there that owns a real estate company and I needed some help and they came through for me by offering me help.  I hardly constittute paying $10.00 for a SEASON PASS for Parking at Mount Rushmore as a damn vacation. (pretty vulgar mouth for a Christian)

See, I had to home school my kids because it was too late to go back to Georgia because school started a full 4 and almost 5 weeks ago and I had no idea where I would be living in Washington at the time. (how can she home-school two children when when she previously said she and Jason were two full time employees for the price of one?)

 

So, not that it is any of your business where I roam (yes, when you bail out on a rental property, it is my business where you bail to)...but I was teaching my kids about the presidents and the policies that they had while in office as to why they were selected for the monument. (went to Mt. Rushmore to home-school her kids on US Presidents,...make's perfect sense)

It's not a vacation...I assure you.  If I was on a vacation I wouldn't be anywhere near the North West.  I would be on the beach in St. Augustine or down in Orlando.  But, I'm not.  I am working on trying to get you squared away (she beats this lie to death, which is why she is a grifter in my books). 

 

You can either believe that or not.  At this point...I'm growing a bit tired of always trying to do the right thing and doing the best that I can with what I have to work with. 

It always seems to not matter and everybody always looks out for themselves any way.  Maybe I should just adopt a "well screw you buddy" attitude like the rest of the world (which is exactly what she did). 

 

But, try as I might...I'm just not like that (oh but you are Jessica, you're exactly like that).  I still believe in trying to do the right thing. You will come up with a figure and we will begin working on compensation.  It isn't perfect.  It isn't fair.  But that is just life.  I assure you what happended to me wasn't fair either but I am doing the best that I can do.

[I think it's fair to say, after reading these emails from seven years ago, Jessica Wynn Horton and her ex-con husband Jason Horton, are habitual liars. They lie so much, and so easily, I think they actually believe their lies. One could conclude that they are sociopaths]

Jessica

After 3 days of working all day, we're within sight of completion. I've patched the damaged walls and will paint them, I cannot repair the water damaged floor behing the fridge; I gave Don a few misc items and 500 cash thus far in exchange for his help, but will need additional assistance.

 

I can't find anyone to buy your furniture (I've tried) and I can't leave it in the home because it could lessen the amount of rent I can get. I've rented a second storage unit and put some of your items in there with mine, the cost of the storage is 140.00 per month. Items such as the various Christmas ornamentation, various wall hangings, and candle holders I will likely discard or give away as you previously suggested.

 

We have completly filled a 15 ft Uhaul with trash I have to take tp the dump tomorrow. Tomorrow I get to clean out your make-up drawer, and do something with your husbands bar-b-q pits.

 

I am curious when you plan to pay me any money.

Two things come to mind. You didn't seem interested in responding to my emails any longer, so I was curious to see just how fast that post would get a response. Pretty quickly. As for airing dirty laundry in public, I'm quite sure Jon would get a laugh that. Seemed appropriate for you to do it didn't it? Why is it different? He owes you money, you told everyone that would listen. You did the same to me, but we should keep this hush hush?

 

Not only have you failed in every promise you ever made to me, you continure to cost me money every day. I'M ACTUALLY MOVING YOUR FURNITURE; while you and Jason lounge somewhere.

I don't believe you have any intention of paying me a dollar. I think this isn't the first time you've walked away from obligations. I've seen how you live, I've seen how you work (when you do), and I see how you run and hide from problems. So I'm tired of being nice and patient, I'm obviously going to have to sue you, and if you have the money, maybe you can counter sue.

 

You may be under the impression that you can walk over all men as you do Jason (husband), but I assure you young lady, you will not walk over me.

I'll iron out a payment plan and send it to you, but I need some idea of the most you can pay, and on what regular intervals. Its a waste of time, and a cause of additional ire to iron anything out if it all boils down to pay what you can when you can.

 

What makes me so angry Jessica, is that there was no justification for not at the very least placing all of your items in the garage. I've had two back surgeries with a total of 4 disc fused together and a titanium plate in my neck. I shouldn't have to carry your sofa, and drage 80lb bags of trash around. I never served you an eviction, and yet that house looked like someone left because the police were on their way.

 

Thats what has irked me the most. Food in the fridge, makeup in the drawers, food in the pantrys, fridge in the garage, etc, etc. Those things weren't left like that becasue you lost your job, or had bad luck, or had no money. Thats simply a lack of caring about what I have to do to restore the home. Thats what I don't understand. Now I'm paying a lot of money to deal with that mess, money I really don't have.

 

If you can send at least half of the 1400 by the tenth, it will at least help me with the mortgage payment due on the 15th. Its a start.

 

Good luck with your business, realizing mistakes is the best prevention to repeating them.. Many focus on being bigtime, and forget its all about making money.

Michael:

I apologize but we we got in very late last night.  I was trying to work some things out.   I agree with you 100%, it is a waste of time to have a payment plan that is totally out of reach.  I want to be fair to you.  I sware that with everything that I hold dearly. 

I have put you in a bad situation.  I don't deny that or try to wiggle my way out of of it.  I stand up to be accountable for it.  However, I've got to be honest with you at the same time that I try to be fair.  I am not trying to screw you over or out of anything. 

I understand your anger.  It is deserved.  Your right I should have placed the stuff in the garage.  I panicked.  I don't know what else to tell you but that.  I totally panicked.  I don't expect for you to understand that or to excuse my actions.  I panicked.  I was due money for a paycheck that I didn't get.  I was due THOUSANDS of dollars in reimbursements that I didn't get.  I had payed money out of my account for Brio related activities and I was sitting on next to nothing.  I panicked.  I didn't know what to do or how to do it.  I was without money.  I was without anywhere to go.  I was scared.  If this has happened to me in Georgia...I would have had plenty of places to go.  I had nowhere to go to up here.

It wasn't that the police were on their way to get me.  It was that I was scared.  Jason didn't like Sara & Jon after the first month of being here.  He wanted to pack up and go home. 

I had a lawsuit that I was dealing with back in Georgia with my former partners and a certain real estate organization.  I had moved my entire family out here and I didn't want to turn back around.  I didn't want to admit defeat.  I wanted to stay and make it work.  Jason told me that it was going to end bad and I should have listened to him.  I should have.  But, I didn't and I learned a valuable lesson.  9 times out of 10, Jason is right about people.  Probably more like 9.9 times out 10. 

The items were left because I honestly thought that they could be sold to help you.  I know that I could have gotten a couple hundred dollars for the couch and love seat if I had stayed longer.  I thought you could sell it and get some money. 

I thought Ardell would be interested in the staging stuff left in the bedroom and at the dining room.  I thought Don would take the food for helping you.  I had no more room in storage and didn't know what to do.  Now, honestly leaving the make up was a mistake.  I never would have done that on purpose.  I didn't mean to do that.  I guess, I just overlooked it.

Michael,  I will do my best to get you at least $700.00 by the 10th.  I can't sware that I will get you the whole $700.00 but I will get you a good chunk of it. But, I will do my best to get you the whole $700.00.  I know that my word doesn't mean crap to you right now and it will take seeing money come in to make you begin to trust that I am doing the right thing.  That I will do the right thing.  I will do it not because I am scared of what you will get online and say about me...but because it is the right thing to do. 

Michael, I understand that you are angry.  If I were in your shoes...I would be pissed!  I know you are and deserve to be.  But, it hurts me when you say some things about me that just aren't true.  I can give you the names of several people that will tell you how I've came through and PERSONALLY made payments for company debts while I've been up here. 

See, because of the lawsuit our accounts were frozen until a verdict or settlement could be reached.  Only commissions and monthly bills (phone, mls, electricity, etc..) could be paid out of the account.  But, I personally paid them.  Was it the entire balance?  NO!  But, I paid it down bit by bit.  I could have just walked away but I've sacrificed and did my best to make ends meet. 

There is one asshole that hasn't been paid but it was because of his behavior that he didn't get paid and will have to wait on the company to pay him.  He called me every day at work and on my cell.  Sent me nasty text messages and harassed me online. Is the money owed to him?  Yes, but he can wait for the company to pay him.  I would have tried to work with him but he got very ugly torwards me and that did it for me. 

It hurts me when you think you really know about me when you don't.  You weren't around me long enough to really know about me.  I may not have been in the Brio office every day but I started work at 6:00 AM most days and worked all weekend with Brio Stuff.  Stuff that I could NEVER get done in the office because of constant interruptions. 

Jon had me doing all kinds of crap that wasn't even related to Brio (as far as I was concerned) and then I had to put out so many blog posts per week (was told to do so).  You have no real idea about my work habits or ethic.  I worked my ass off at that company.  Production completely turned around.  Agents that weren't producing began to produce.  Jason worked his ass for that company and never got paid for it.  He was supposed to have taken over Liz's pay but he never got it because the company couldn't afford it. 

Unethical?  I think not.  Ethics are part of the reason that I was resigning.  Do you honestly think this merger was planned?  No, it was a last minute Hail Mary to save things.  He wanted me to buy the company from him but the more we dug into the "secrets" of Brio the less we wanted to own it.  Things were going on in the past that I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW ABOUT!  I may be a bitch and a lot of other things but I am not unethical. 

I had an ethics charge brought against me by the Georgia real estate commission and I still have their finding to this very day.  I was told by the Sr. Investigator that I was the most organized and had all stuff together agent that they had ever investigated and I was completely in the right for what I had done.  I am not unethical.  I just have the gift of pissing people off.  There is a big difference.  I probably do need to work on my people skills a bit.  I may get around to it one day. (Never did)

My AR persona?  Yes, I was told to right a lot of shit that I didn't care to write about.  I can't believe what a damn fool I was.  I allowed FEAR to make a scared little girl who didn't want to piss off her boss and lose her job.  You're right.  I wan't deny it.  I was not aware of it at the time but looking back...you're right

I am sorry for what I've done and what all has happened to you.  I will make it up to you..(Never did)
I will have money into you by the 10th.  I will continue to do so.  (Never did)

I know you are angry and I understand. But, I don't want to fight with you Michael.  You are right and I am wrong.  I am sorry for what you've had to go through.  But, I am not the kind of person to leave you high and dry (Lie).

I freaked out.  Yes.  I was scared.  Yes.  I felt like I had nowhere to go.  I had to clear my head and get focused.  Let me make this right.  I will have money in by the 10th.

Reputations are earned (as you well know); my comments were based on what I see before me up to this day, not you lifetime achievements. Your right, I don't know you, I just know what my experience with you has been, and it's been less than positive. It's up to you to change that, and I hope you do.

 

People aren't stupid, there's not an agent in Brio that didn't know why Brio was merging with the very man they sub-leased the building from. It's pretty obvious.

 

Your email said "I had nowhere to go to up here" , which certainly would indicate you are here in Bellevue. Is that the case? If that's the case, I wish you would have helped us. Don has been paid about $500 so far, plus the dump fee was $50 and truck was $60 for two days. The stuff that went to the dump was 100% yours, and those bags were outrageously heavy. I'm amazed you produced so much trash in such a short time.. I assume it was all trash, we didn't open them.

 

I would still like to know where my microwave went. It is gone, and it should have stayed with the house. The tree loppers vanished from the outside shed as well, and I do hope these things weren't simply sold at your garage sell because someone saw them and offered to buy them. In lieu of all else, this is certainly a minor issue, but I'd like to know the truth. At the least, you know what became of the microwave.

I'll have more to say later, but I gotta go to work at the house, I leave in a couple of days.

Michael:

I will repair the bridge with you.  I understand where you are coming and your experience has not been positive with me.  I take full accountability for that.  I also will do what it takes to fix it.

You are right about the agents.  I tried to get full disclosure told to them because commission checks were bouncing and I wanted them to know about the economics of the deal and certain other things that I won't even get into.  It doesn't matter any more.

No, it wasn't all trash.  Some of it was items that I just bagged up and decided to throw away instead of storing.  I will pay for that also.

Michael, I have NO idea what happended to your microwave.  None.  I bought a microwave at Costco for $189.00 before I ever set foot into your place and was still living in Kenmore.  I certainly DID NOT sell it or give it away!  NO SIR!  Now, I will take blame for what I've done wrong but I WILL NOT be a thief for anybody. 

Not that you are implying that I am but....I want to make it crystal clear that I did not sell, give away or turn a blind eye to your belongings being taken.  I would highly suggest that you talk to Don about that.  I certainly did NOT take them or sell them or authorize their removal.  Nor, did I do anything to any tree loopers.  I did not touch anything of yours when I left. 

However, I do have a microwave back in Georgia and I can Alicia ship it to you.  It's pretty nice.  Stainless Steel and all that.  I will make ammends for it but I DID NOT do anything to it.  Nor, did Jason.  I don't even know what tree loopers are.

I've got a party interested in the phone system back in Georgia.  I am trying to get with my phone guy and see if he can e-mail a fair price for it.  I want to liquidate my assets to help pay these bills but I also want to ensure that I get a fair price for them.
