I emailed Don Pelletier and David Weintraub the following this morning:
David, in case you feel like “discussing” this further, can you answer the following questions?
1) Can you provide independently verifiable proof that my offer for 456K was submitted to BofA in Nov. 2012?
2) Why was Jim Sullivan, your short sale negotiator who was supposedly working on my offer also working with an “investor” on the house all this time?
3) If both offers were submitted and reviewed, why would BofA choose an offer for 371K over one for 456K?
4) What is Jim’s Ca. DRE license #, or any kind proof that he is authorized to work on any real estate transaction in Ca?
5) Why would Blue Anchor, an outside party with no ownership stake want 45K paid directly to them to settle all the secondary liens? Why would I trust them to do so?
6) What are the secondary liens that should add up to almost 45K? List each entity and the amount owed. When I asked Jim this on multiple occasions he never gave me an answer. That’s curious. The only one I’ve found has been a little over 3K owed in property back taxes.
I asked that all replies be in email. Don called me up this afternoon and said he was too busy to write an email (curious) but would talk to me over the phone. I ask about question 1. He dances around and starts talking about negotiating a better deal and bank reps changing. When pressed, he replies that no the offer was never sent to BofA. Then we go on to the other questions and he starts to claim ignorance, even though he has been working with Jim for 2.5 years and on over 10 deals. I tell him I’ll give him the weekend to contact Jim and provide me with satisfactory answers to the questions. Keep in mind Don has been in the business for over 26 years. I’m curious to see what he has to say.
