CITYSEARCH RENTAL + PANAMA PAPERS…read more Grant, I've posted images of your weak Cease & Desist; highlighting the important points. Aside from disgusting X-Rated narrative, "The Walrus Theory" reads as a description of the John & Alex Hripko / Lisa Hamielec's real estate business model. There are four facts I'd like to point out: 1. In "The Walrus Theory", Lisa states that "setting up a secret bank account in your mother's maiden name" is "a key strategy"; 2. In May 1997, John Hripko & Robert Croteau had Lisa Hamielec set up a front organization to buy Forgrave Relocation Services; 3. The original Copyright holder of "The Walrus Theory" is, "Walrus Enterprises & Promotions Inc."; 4. On 23rd May 1997, a company by the name of "Walrus Enterprises Ltd." was established in the Bahamas - which is made public in the "Panama Papers". In addition, there are at LEAST three numbered companies they set up for the Forgrave acquisition. That's a lot of companies set up to purchase the assets of a self-proprietor with 4-5 part-time employees. In short, Grant, I consider these facts as being relevant. You say that I "suggest that Royal LePage participates with Citysearch in a cover-up". I said no such thing. As a lawyer, you should be more careful when reading statements. Stop using Lisa's petty tactic of misrepresenting what other people say. I fully stand by the statement that "Citysearch's ultimate goal is to find a tenant interested in buying a house while restricting showings to other legitimate prospective tenants". Citysearch has breached their fiduciary duty to me on several occasions. I suggest you start by looking at the emails that came to Citysearch through Rentfaster, from individuals interested in viewing the property. By my count, there are at least fourteen expressions of interest to see the property and, of those, Janice highlighted the lowest quality prospective tenants (i.e., those who wanted to rent my house for one night to hold a party). Note, Rentfaster is only one of at least five marketing channels that are used. One individual - a co-founder and executive of a multinational energy group - emailed THREE times over the course of THREE FULL MONTHS with no reply from Citysearch. I know this because I reached out to him DIRECTLY and asked him to confirm my suspicions - which he did...and even asked me if the house was still available! Yes, Mr. Strapon, I spent hundreds of thousands to deal with the mess that Citysearch created. Might I suggest that you learn a thing or two about business and economics before calling anything a "gross exaggeration" or at a minimum asking me what my expenses were. Citysearch promises to "conduct an owner handover at the start of the process to ensure the property is ready for a tenancy". Citysearch ALSO promises to "conduct a pre move-in inspection to ensure the property is free of deficiencies". If that is true, how did I end up spending $41K, $49K, and $46K for "maintenance & repairs" (i.e. upgrades) in 2017, 2018, and 2019 respectively? Repairs which I was forced into by Citysearch's mismanagement. Prior to signing a contract, I inquired whether repairs or upgrades were necessary. Lisa and Janice repeatedly stated, "No, it's just a rental". Add on top of that four months of lost rent- $21K. I could have paid off debt with the $1.3M originally invested... that ALONE is worth over $100K. Lisa sold me on the concept that "Effective Property Management Pays, it does not Cost". However, the only person that it "pays" is clearly Lisa Hamielec & her "Family Business". By Lisa's own logic, if "effective property management pays, it does not cost", then clearly Citysearch is NOT an effective property management company.
