Dear Tim, Jeffrey Zumbo, the owner/appraiser from Major, just called and said that he couldn't even come up to the 8M
number. Clearly I will not be telling Joe Randleman about this
especially since he had said to cancel the appraisal - The bottom line is that Joe has signed off on everything and is incredibly lucky to buy Los Tiempos.

I asked them to send out the same appraiser and they confirmed that they would. This man had been to your house before so I thougth that we might be ok- I asked him the same question - How can the numbers be so different when they are coming from the same source? He said that the market has softened and the bottom line is that there are no comps- The question then becomes how to comp a trophy property when there is nothing to compare it to. How does a property w/historical significance translate to dollars - The good news is that he is not putting this down on paper and is sending my check back (very nice).
At the end of the day, even if we are/were to get an appraisal for 9M, Joe would accuse us of manipulating the price. I think that we just leave well enough alone. xo Diana

Our bank said that they cannot raise their appraisal without any new camps. Remember you told Courtney that the house up the street from Tim just sold for "over $8 million". Is there any way you can get the documentation on this property so that we can produce this as a comp?

Dear Scott, We just received a phone call from a buyer who had put in an offer on the Rosenthal's house. The Rosenthal's were happy with the price but didn't want to commit because of the time frame. The same Buyers have asked if they can resubmit the offer with an open-ended escrow. They understand that nothing will happen until next year and are happy to wait. Please advise.

Hi there- I spoke w/John about our conversation this morning and that given the Buyer's history you are afraid that once you move etc., they will try to renegociate price - While I am sure that they may come after me (for what I don't know), they were concerned that they not look bad in your eyes so you may be ok. On the other hand, John is staying in touch with them and trying to keep in good standing. "keep your friends close, your enemies closer". What worries me is that Summit has not been put on the market yet- John found out that the appraisal come in at 8M and they readjusted it to 7.2. Again, the appraisal is neither here nor there. Hope that you and Kathleen are enjoying yourselves and not working too hard. xo Diana

Good morning - I will forward your email and see what his response is - He knows the banker is why he told he that an 8M appraisal came in.
On a similiar note, I asked if a client of mine could see her (Courtney's) building on Mansfield. Courtney went balistic and left a nasty message on John's phone
- "she will not work w/me, Betsy, CB Hancock Park etc.
We are all liars" etc. (crazy) After I had
Boatwright do an inspection of your house she was livid on the length of time they spent at your house and the price- "inspections are a scam etc". She then lied to Art and said that we never did a proper inspection on your house- NUTS!
I think that her now husband(they got remarried w/nobody in attendance) is being the ah that he is and is doing a number on her- He loves his mctuscan and doesn't want to move. Further, his ego is locked into that house - Supposedly the house is going on the market this week. I hear from Courtney's best friend that she will do anything to have your home, loves it, and fully intends to close. One reason could well be that her name is on title on Lorraine and is not on title on Summit.
On your end, I know that he has no legal recourse, but will he try something -who knows. When you get back, we can sit down w/John and figure out a game plan. Possibly that you have no knowledge of what has transpired, take the high road with the assumption that all is well and that Joe will behave himself-
Newly married, new home how lucky etc. "Qongratulations, you'll love HP..."
As the real estate world turns - I will get in touch w/John now and we'll get back to you on the appraisal. xo Diana
