maybe a doctor screogy over. Of
course, what we get a lot of

10
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:53.039
times are car issues, buying a
car, repairing a car. We also

11
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:58.039
would get contractor issues like crazy.
And this time of year we're gonna start

12
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:00.359
getting those asphalt calls. You I
know, these guys that show up and

13
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:04.159
they happen to be in the neighborhood
and want to repave your driveway. We've

14
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.879
got a good concrete company out there
that listens all the time. Hopefully they're

15
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.920
going to be on the referral list
soon. But there's a lot of ripoffs

16
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:15.200
out there, and that's what this
show is about. Let me tell you

17
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:18.799
about this first hour though it's brought
to you by Paul the water Man,

18
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:22.640
the best for less. You know
what I love about water Pros, Well,

19
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:26.319
I'm gonna be very honest with you. What I love about water Pros

20
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:32.560
is Suzanne absolutely loves the system that
they put in. They put in a

21
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:36.640
water softener and if I got to
hear how it makes her hair feel so

22
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:41.280
great and her great hair days,
it's crazy. Stephanie Thomas is in studio

23
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:46.319
with us. Frank durand Stephanie.
Really quick, I'll introduce you guys properly

24
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.760
in a minute. But you're a
woman, you've got long hair. I

25
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:53.760
mean, is this a real thing? We were at a hotel. We

26
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:59.840
were at a hotel in I want
to say Slydell or New Orleans last year,

27
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:04.519
and she got out of the shower
and goes, this is the best

28
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:07.319
water we have ever had. And
then she went and figured out to have

29
00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:10.599
this big water softener. And then
I end up going to Paul the water

30
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:14.840
Man and getting a water softener and
she loves it. Frank, have you

31
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.639
ever heard of stuff like this?
Did you ever? Did you ever imagine

32
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:22.159
in a million years the reason you
would love a water softener is because of

33
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.800
your hair. I feel no difference, but my wife cannot stop talking about

34
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:29.319
it. Well, a good hair
day is very important market, you know.

35
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:31.520
Yeah, yeah, really good hair
day is very important. Yeah,

36
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:37.120
especially for me with my curly hair
that goes every which way. But Stephanie,

37
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:38.919
it's a real thing. That's a
big difference. It absolutely does on

38
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:43.319
how product sits in your hair,
how it styles, how it feels,

39
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:46.120
how it tangles through the day.
It makes a big shit absolutely loves it.

40
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:51.759
So Paul rock solid And what I
liked. Here's the part that I

41
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:54.919
liked. It was half the price
through water Pros. Then if we got

42
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:58.800
it through one of these other companies, I mean half the price, and

43
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.479
I think the equipments better, I
know the warranties better, and they're great

44
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:06.879
people. Paul's a plumber himself.
It's the real deal. Check him out.

45
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.960
Waterpros dot net. They've got anything
you can imagine, free water test.

46
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:14.400
They're not these high pressure twist your
arm. It's the real deal.

47
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:19.039
Waterpros dot net Now three O three
seven one three eight two five five that's

48
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:22.199
our number. You've been ripped off, taking advantage of you just need help.

49
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.240
You call that number three O three
seven to one three eight two five

O three Martino day or night during the

51
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:37.039
show. It'll come right here now
to properly, properly introduce my guess,

52
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:42.560
Frank Duran, the real estate man, and uh, Frank sold our house

53
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.159
in Castle Rock. I don't know. Can you believe it? Frank?

54
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:51.759
It's been like seven years and he
helped us negotiate our house in Franktown,

55
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.599
my kind of town mark Franktown.
Yeah, it's named after you. That's

56
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:59.520
kind of funny. So Frank's got
the secret sauce out there, and I'm

57
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:01.879
not kidding. If you're trying to
sell your house, we'll get into the

58
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:05.439
secret. Stephanie does the same stuff. If you're in the Pike's Peak region

59
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:10.520
up in Colorado Springs, you call
Stephanie. Down here Denver Metro, you

60
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:15.520
call Frank. Great realtors. I've
known Stephanie actually longer than I've known you,

61
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:19.000
Frank. We've known each other coming
up on fifteen years. I have

62
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:24.160
known Stephanie. What Stephanie twenty five
years going on twenty five. Yeah,

63
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:27.600
I knew you before he had kids. Yep. And now now you have

64
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.600
a kid in college. I've got
a senior and a kid in college.

65
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:36.560
That's crazy. I knew now you
knew us before when you were little,

66
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:42.199
little, very little. Our kids
were like three and five. I'm not

67
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:44.959
even sure they were that old.
They were even less than that. Yeah.

68
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:50.120
So her husband for Folks Listening worked
for me at Mountain Pete Computers years

69
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:55.759
ago. He was my store manager
and ultimately kind of bought the company in

70
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:59.639
a lot of ways. So great
guy, Mike, and he still works

71
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:01.560
with us. In fact, we're
all going on a trip together next week.

72
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:03.839
Yeah, next week we're going to
go to Vegas. I love how

73
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:09.439
good you are doing in real estate, thank you. It's really impressive.

74
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:15.160
How many years has it been now? About fourteen four on fourteen years?

75
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:17.040
Yeah, oh okay, I'm thinking
of how long you've lived up in the

76
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:21.240
Springs area. Yeah, so we've
lived in the Springs area about nine years.

77
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.839
Now. You have decided that's what
you're going to do. You're not

78
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:28.160
going to really branch out anywhere else. It's going to be that Pike's Peak

79
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:30.920
region. Yes, and you're killing
it up there, thank you. And

80
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:34.519
we get so many compliments on you. Anybody that uses you. It's crazy

81
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:40.560
and Frank you know the same.
I just had someone talk about how great

82
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:43.680
you were just the other day man. In fact, I think you did

83
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:46.319
a free analysis for him. They
took time to actually do a review on

84
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:51.000
referral list dot com. Because you
did such a great job on an analysis.

85
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:54.319
What do you do real quick on
that? Then? I promise,

86
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:57.680
guys, I'll get to the phone. So the free analysis we talk about,

87
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:00.279
you did one for me. So
I kind of have an eye idea,

88
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:02.800
but you pulled all the comps and
you gave me what you really thought

89
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:05.480
you could sell the home for.
Yeah. Yeah, we we look at

90
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:09.480
all the intangibles, Mark, we
look at the competition, We study your

91
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:12.879
home and really look for any advantage
we can give you on the open market.

92
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:14.600
And if you don't sell, we
can at least give you a pretty

93
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:16.480
good idea what your home itself are
on the open market. Yeah. That's

94
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:19.519
pretty cool, man. And for
tax reasons, it helps a lot too.

95
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:25.319
You helped me last year fight my
tax bill. Everybody had a way

96
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:29.199
higher tax bill. I got it
to the second level, and in that

97
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:32.040
second level I won because of the
report you did for me, and I

98
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:36.839
basically proved that they were exaggerating the
price of my house, and I think

99
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:43.480
they knocked off the taxable value.
I think they knocked off almost one hundred

100
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:46.800
hundred and fifty thousand, which is
nothing but savings in your pocket. I

101
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:50.160
mean, it's really crazy, Gene. What's going on with you? Jean?

102
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:53.439
By the way, we have lines
open three oh three seven, one,

103
00:06:53.480 --> 00:07:00.920
three eight, two, five to
five. I am so frustrated.

104
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:09.800
Why are you frustrated, Jane,
Well, because the contractors the hoacent out,

105
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:14.519
Yeah, to fix some kind of
facial Yeah, on the patio.

106
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:17.680
Hey, Gene, what were they
fixing it for. Let's kind of rewind

107
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:21.839
here. What happened to where they
were fixing it. Was it a storm

108
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:27.639
or what? Now. I've been
here for thirty years, and over twenty

109
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:31.319
years I've been getting water just pouring
down onto my patio. Okay, okay,

110
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:36.079
it was so bad twenty years ago
the whole patio collapsed on top of

111
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:40.759
my car downstairs under the car poard. So you're on the second floor.

112
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:47.519
I am on the second floor,
but I don't have anyone above me below

113
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:50.680
me. My car is below me. I'm the only one up here.

114
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:55.920
I'm on the end Okay, so
you had so much rain and I don't

115
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:58.959
know why we're going back twenty years, but I want to understand. All

116
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:03.560
the rain pulls up on your patio
and it got so heavy and it rotted

117
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.519
the wood I assume or did something
and all of a sudden or maybe created

118
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:11.079
a sink hole under the patio.
But the patio collapsed onto your car port.

119
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:15.639
Yeah. Now this is like twenty
some years. Okay, So where

120
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.319
are we at now? There's nothing
I'm going to do about that. Okay,

121
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.800
So where we are now? That's
just to say that they have never

122
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:28.439
fixed the water issue. Now I'm
thinking that the water issue is the problem.

123
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.840
Well what is the water issue?
I'm not understanding. So it rains

124
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:37.759
everywhere? Just the wait stop?
Does the place have gutters? Are the

125
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:43.000
gutters not working? The gutters has
not been working, and they've been they

126
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:48.440
have probably ten times tried to patch
it. Okay, so they patched it

127
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.440
with the last manager for the last
time. That lasted for maybe two years.

128
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:54.399
Hey, Jean, listen, I
promise I'm going to let you talk.

129
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.440
But what I'm really trying to figure
out when you say patched it,

130
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.399
we're not talking about the roof they
come out and patch the gutters. What

131
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.799
happens when it rains? Though,
if I'm staring at your house and it's

132
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:11.360
raining, I don't mean like tornado
downpour. I mean like it's a normal,

133
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:15.120
good rain. Does it run right
over the gutters? Does it go

134
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:18.519
into the gutters but the downspouts don't
go out far enough? What is,

135
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:24.840
to your best educated guess, what's
the problem. Well, the best educated

136
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:31.519
guess that I would say is the
gutters is the issue that they never position

137
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:37.679
it right Because I have a huge
pot flower pot that catches the water when

138
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.159
it rains and it poursytals to my
patio. I think I sent you a

139
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:46.120
pitcher to show you how that water
is running down on my patio. That's

140
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:50.240
the problem, the issue that they
were actually okay, so then you said

141
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:54.840
something when we started off, they
came out to repair the face. Yet

142
00:09:54.879 --> 00:10:00.480
what was that about? Well,
I guess that's part of the So the

143
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:05.320
water got behind the siding, I
think, so okay, So what happened?

144
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.799
It got behind this hold on,
It got behind the siding, and

145
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:15.559
they sent someone out to repair it. So what's going on? Okay?

146
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:20.480
They fixed that and it ended,
but that the contractor talked to me because

147
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:24.240
I had an onon. I had
an onon over that place, that area,

148
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:28.320
and he said, but he finished
it, I would be able to

149
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:33.120
put the onon back. Okay,
So now they're telling me after they fixed

150
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:37.799
it Monday, it rained a little
bit yesterday. I didn't see any water

151
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:39.720
because it wasn't that much. So
when they repaired it, they had to

152
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:43.600
take the awning off and then they
repaired the siding. Is it siding or

153
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:48.639
is it brick? What is it? Yeah? Okay, so they repaired

154
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:52.919
the siding. Then they went to
put the awning back, and then what

155
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:56.360
well they did it. They won't
put the onton back up. That's the

156
00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:00.000
problem. Okay, hold on,
hold on, I gotta take this break.

157
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:03.000
I'll bring you back up right after
this. So we got to the

158
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:05.039
problem. It only took ten minutes. Hold tight, Gene, we're gonna

159
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.559
get it figured out. I get
it. They took it down, they

160
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.600
repaired it. As the yawning broke, I'm not sure we're gonna find out.

161
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:15.919
Three oh three, Martino, Hold
tight, Brad, you'll be up

170
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:01.360
the real estate man during the break. He had an interesting morning. We'll

171
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:05.200
get into that in a little bit. We're going to ask these two about

172
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:09.159
home sales, what they think is
going to be happening as far as prices

173
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:13.279
in the Pike's Peaker region of course
down here at Denver Metro, and some

174
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:18.519
other stuff. But right now I'm
going to go back to Jeane. So

175
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.080
here's where we're at in this conversation. Jane had a lot of water damage

176
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:26.679
apparently to the signing, Hey Gene, is it a condo or is it

177
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:33.639
a town home? Okay, so
adder condo, and they had to send

178
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.120
someone out the HOA send someone out
to repair it. Did they repair more

179
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:43.080
than just the siding by your house
or were they repairing siding everywhere? No,

180
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:46.840
it was just my house, okay. And they had to take the

181
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:50.039
awning down and then they repaired it. They go to put the awning back

182
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:54.240
up, and you said they can't. Why, Well, they're telling me

183
00:12:54.360 --> 00:13:00.399
because it's too heavy, because it's
a motorized on in okay, and it's

184
00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:05.360
too large. It's too large for
the area to hold it, and I

185
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.840
have to get it modified. Well, what do you mean modified? How

186
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:15.559
would you modify a mechanical awning?
I don't understand. Well, it's not

187
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:18.120
the honing that needs to be modified. That the place where they positioned it

188
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:24.120
up the honon whether but that holds
the onon on top. Oh okay,

189
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:28.279
So they have to strengthen where they're
going to mount the awning to your yes,

190
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:35.120
okay. So what's the problem.
Well, this guy that took contractor,

191
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.639
because he's standing in front of the
manager, he's saying he can do

192
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:45.279
it, but he don't want to
be allowed before it in case it falls,

193
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:48.480
because they didn't build this place that
way. Yeah, So what's wrong?

194
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:52.200
With that, I'd probably do the
same thing. So what's the issue.

195
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:56.159
Well, the issue is they're telling
me that I got to write another

196
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:03.840
letter asking them to give permission to
get somebody to come out and modify and

197
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.759
they don't want to approve it.
Well, hold on, Jane, you

198
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:11.080
totally lost me there. You said
the contractor was right there in front of

199
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:16.799
whomever, the head of the HOA, and they were ready to do it.

200
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:18.679
Do I have that right now?
No, they wasn't ready to do

201
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:22.720
it. They weren't. He told
me he would do it before the manager

202
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.559
came. He told me before he
started to work. Yeah, I would

203
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:30.919
be able to he would be able
to monitor to fix it where it was

204
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:35.039
secure enough to hold the honings.
Now they have punked to him, okay,

205
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:37.840
to tell him not to do it. I guess. Okay, Now

206
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:41.639
he's saying it's a lot. So
what does the HOA? Okay, So

207
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:45.320
what does the HOA want you to
do? I mean if they determined that

208
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:48.559
that awning was too heavy or there
was some kind of issue, I mean,

209
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.720
what else what would you expect?
Well, I just want to be

210
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:58.200
able to fix it, the tob
secure the place. So what are they

211
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:01.679
telling you? Now, Jean,
are they saying you absolutely can't do it?

212
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:07.559
Or did they give you instructions to
try to get it done? Well,

213
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:11.679
she's trying to tell me if I
send a letter through, they gonna

214
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:18.159
probably not approve it because I'm the
only one that's asking for this structure,

215
00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:22.919
this modification to be done. If
you paid for it, would they allow

216
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:26.440
you to do it? Well?
You know, I hope, I don't

217
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:31.879
know. I'm asking you. You
simply don't. Who are you shop shot?

218
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:35.279
Is there somebody over there I can
call? Is there someone over there

219
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:39.759
I can call Gene and talk to
and get it better understanding of what the

220
00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:46.600
hell's going on? Well, I
can give you the manager's number. Okay?

221
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:50.840
Do they usually answer? She's too
She she's only been here for two

222
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:56.879
years since she doesn't know very much
about what's happening. Actually, no one,

223
00:15:56.240 --> 00:16:00.919
Gene, Jen, It doesn't matter
what happened to years ago. Look,

224
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:03.519
the only part that they went out
and replaced, And I asked you

225
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:10.120
this for the reason on the siding
is was yours and that heavy awnings right

226
00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:14.320
there. Maybe that's the whole reason
they had to repair yours is because that's

227
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:18.320
where the awning was. Well,
it is. I called him and told

228
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:22.720
them that there was a like an
open end on the end, which I

229
00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:26.639
assume, Geene, I want you
to do this. Listen. I'm going

230
00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:29.759
to put you on hold, Kelly. I'm going to make this very simple.

231
00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:32.799
Let's give it to one of our
deputies to call over. Let's do

232
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:36.440
it with a three way call.
I'm not trying to solve the damn problem

233
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:40.039
right now. That's going to be
the second part. I'm trying to understand

234
00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:44.120
what the HOA is willing to do
orre they telling her to pound sand it's

235
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:47.759
too heavy. I need to know
what is going on because I can't get

236
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:49.919
it out of her. If she
pays for it, will they allow her

237
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:53.039
to do it? Will they allow
the contractor to do it? If she

238
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:56.639
signed something saying that, you know, no one's going to be liable for

239
00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.840
it. I don't know what's going
on. Let's try to figure that out

240
00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:03.039
for Gene. Gene, we're going
to try to help you. But I

241
00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:07.519
got to understand what the hell's going
on. Three zho three Martino three zero

242
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:10.680
three seven one three A two five
five. Hey, Brad, I got

243
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:15.240
to take a break. But what
question do you have? I'm Mark.

244
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:18.559
So I bought some vacant land and
the deal was it was owner carry.

245
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:23.160
Fully paid the guy off in twenty
twenty. He lives in Georgia. And

246
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:30.799
how long ago did you buy it, Brad? Twenty seventeen. Okayil was

247
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:33.799
done, twenty twenty. It was
an owner carry. I got you and

248
00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:37.559
after the deal, I have all
the emails. Hey, it's paid.

249
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:42.319
Are you going to contact Park County
Treasurer to release the specialty warranty deed?

250
00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:48.839
He said, yep, I got
it. Went through a little bit of

251
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.400
back and forth emailing. He said
they didn't send the right one and then

252
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.119
basically the last contact in twenty twenty, he said, I sent, I

253
00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:57.559
just sent it. It's all said. It should be good to go.

254
00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:02.559
I just called him today because I
want to sell it, and he never

255
00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:06.960
did it. So what do you
do? And when a leanholder just blows

256
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:10.720
you off and won't finish the paperwork, I would guess a quiet title action.

257
00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:12.119
But hold on, let me get
you on. Hold, let me

258
00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:17.440
take this break. Meantime, Kelly, let's try to give Brad O'Brien on.

259
00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:22.920
It's apparent these guys didn't use a
title company that probably would have saved

260
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:26.400
this, but we'll dive into that
in a lot more. Right after this,

269
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:14.359
give you an idea how this show
works. We had a guy call up

270
00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:17.519
and we're going to go right back
to him, and it's Brad. And

271
00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:19.640
Brad says, hey, you know, I bought this property, and I

272
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:23.279
got Brad O'Brien, one of our
experts at referra list dot com listening.

273
00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:26.880
So Brad, here's the story that
I'll go to you, Brad, and

274
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:33.359
Brad so so Brad buys it.
In twenty seventeen, and he pays it

275
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:37.960
off. It was an ony owner
carry financing. He pays it off in

276
00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:41.000
two thousand and Brad, I assume
you've got at least some form of bill

277
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:45.440
of sale. You did not go
through title a title company? Right?

278
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:48.400
No, we did not, Okay, I have Yeah, what do you

279
00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:52.880
have? Tell me what you have
to prove this even took place? Oh

280
00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:56.720
if Yeah, you go to like
the Park County website, type in the

281
00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:00.640
address it lists me as the owner. Got it assessor first and they said,

282
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:03.759
yeah, you own it. But
then she said you better check with

283
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:08.799
the treasurer to make sure that he
did do that sign the release of it.

284
00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:12.799
It's called a special warranty deed.
Okay, And he just hasn't done

285
00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:17.319
it. I'm sorry he has not. The last email, he's like,

286
00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:21.160
yep, I got it. It's
notarized and I'm gonna send it off.

287
00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:25.079
Wow. Do you think you guys
try just out of curiosity? I mean,

288
00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:27.720
you think he's just lazy, he
doesn't have time to do it.

289
00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:32.200
What do you think is going on? You think he's tried it seems like

290
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:36.160
it just seems odd. I mean, why do you think just in your

291
00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:40.000
brain he's not doing it? You
know, Mark, I have no idea.

292
00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:44.319
Initially, it took a few emails
back and forth to say hey,

293
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:47.880
I need you to do this to
finalize this, and even made like a

294
00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:49.359
I have the email a weird comment. It's not in front of me,

295
00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:52.440
but like, well, you know, because I only bought the property for

296
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:56.559
thirty five hundred dollars, And he
goes, well, it wouldn't be worth

297
00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:00.839
you even suing me for this paperwork. And then I said, hey,

298
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:03.640
okay, well let's figure out you
know what you do. Let's figure out

299
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:08.599
from Brad O'Brien what he would do
in this circumstance. Brad, first of

300
00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:12.440
all, thanks for coming on the
show. You kind of heard the story.

301
00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:18.240
What do you do when someone will
not sign that special warranty deed and

302
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:21.480
get it filed or send it to
you? What do you do in a

303
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:26.160
situation like this? To me clarify, he didn't the Brad did not get

304
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:32.799
a deed in twenty seventeen when he
purchased Brad did not. No, okay,

305
00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:34.839
so you're supposed to make payments for
however long, and then whenever you

306
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:37.359
finish the payments at that point,
you were supposed to get the deed.

307
00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:42.680
Well, when I finished the payments, I just said to him, look,

308
00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:47.720
it's done. I called Park County
and they need you to I think

309
00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:51.039
I'm using the right verbiage that you
need to sign, you know, do

310
00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:56.319
the release of a specialty warranty deed. And basically the treasurer said that they

311
00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:59.759
would send it to him, he
would sign it, have it notarized,

312
00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:03.200
and send it back. And Okay, that last email, he said,

313
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:07.279
I got it. I did it, and I just called him today.

314
00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:10.680
I never followed up. I feared
it was a done deal. I called

315
00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:14.319
him today. They're like, he
never did it. Okay, it sounds

316
00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:18.720
like you did get a special warrantd
back in twenty seventeen, so the property

317
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:21.720
was put in your name right at
that point? Correct? Yeah, because

318
00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:25.000
on the assessors off as Brad,
it shows, Yeah, so what you

319
00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:27.799
got to do everything? Well,
I think what you're talking about it needs

320
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:30.319
to be released, is a deed
of trust, which is a mortgage,

321
00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:36.160
and so there's a release. There's
a form to release the deed of trust

322
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:37.920
or mortgage, and that's what he
has not returned. Right. Well,

323
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:42.279
hold on, Brad, that's probably
exactly right. But what do you do

324
00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:47.079
and let's take it a little let's
take it one step further. He's saying

325
00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:51.279
he paid it off in twenty twenty. If he doesn't give him that release,

326
00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:53.519
just like when you pay a mortgage
off, you know, it's not

327
00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:57.400
like Wells Fargo's going to die.
But if you do do an owner carry

328
00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:02.400
and this guy disappears off to base
of the earth, or it simply doesn't

329
00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:06.440
want to do it, what do
you do. Well, there's a statute

330
00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:11.039
in Colorado that provides that when a
DIDA trust has been satisfied and paid off,

331
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:19.119
then upon request, the lender needs
to timely provide the release of that

332
00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:25.799
data trust. And if they don't, well, then then then you can

333
00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:30.000
sue in court. See this is
but this is exactly what the guy told

334
00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:33.759
Brad. This guy sounds like an
ass if he asked me, but that's

335
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:34.880
what the guy told him. Well, go ahead and sue me. It's

336
00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:38.400
only thirty five hundred bucks. It's
going to cost them more to sue the

337
00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:42.960
guy to get the lean release and
he paid for the entire property of thirty

338
00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:47.559
five hundred bucks. Yeah, well, I may be able to recover attorney

339
00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:49.720
fees on the back end if he
prevails in court. What proof do you

340
00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:56.519
have it's paid off? Brad?
Well, just emails that said, you

341
00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:00.440
know, it looks we're done.
The payments are over and he said yep.

342
00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:03.519
And I said where do we You
know? I need you to?

343
00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:07.200
Park County says that you need to
fill out this paper cake and he said,

344
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:11.680
this is but it took like three
emails to do that. This is

345
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:14.960
this is nuts. Let me ask
you about the guy in general. Is

346
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:18.759
the guy like super old? Is
he a jerk? What? Just tell

347
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:22.680
me your thoughts on the guy.
The only thing I know about him,

348
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:26.200
I think back then he was buying
parcels and selling them, okay because he

349
00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:30.079
had a few others. But now
I looked him up and I think he's

350
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:36.200
a drywall contractor. He does live
in Georgia. So and I'm trying to

351
00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:38.119
say who so so, Brad.
A couple of things. One, do

352
00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:41.359
you really think he could get attorney? Well, he's in Georgia. Where

353
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:45.480
the hell do you assume him,
Brad? If if the property is here

354
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:49.240
or in Georgia, here in Park
County, Colorado? So, Brad,

355
00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:53.480
where would you sue this guy?
O'Brien? Uh, you could ssume here

356
00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:59.079
okay, or I assume that there's
a promissory note that was in connection with

357
00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:03.559
this he did trust right, Yeah, like you get my promise right now?

358
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:10.079
You know that note might be well
you basical would sue him in Park

359
00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:14.000
County. Here's the deal though,
I just smell this is going wrong from

360
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:17.799
the beginning. The guy is now
a drywall contractor, and no offense to

361
00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:22.000
anybody out there, but trying to
chase this guy down if he's self employed,

362
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:26.240
you know, not a W two
kind of guy. We don't know

363
00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:29.599
if he's got any money. He
was splitting parcels and selling them for thirty

364
00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:32.599
five hundred bucks. Now he's doing
drywall. I mean, you could go

365
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:36.119
through this and even get court costs
and there's not a nickel to go after.

366
00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:38.240
I mean, really what I think? And Brad, I want your

367
00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:44.200
opinion on this, O'Brien. I
think I have someone very nice, not

368
00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:48.839
myself, someone one of our deputies
and not Doc. By the way,

369
00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:52.640
Doc can get a little aggressive.
Maybe have Scott or Chopper call this guy

370
00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:56.799
and just try to get him to
sign it. Maybe we offer him fifty

371
00:25:56.920 --> 00:26:00.359
bucks, buy him breakfast to day
and he's get him a grand Slam a

372
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:03.359
cup of coffee. There must be
a way to get this done, Brad.

373
00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:07.000
Don't you think that's the best way
to handle this with such a small

374
00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:11.359
amount of money. Yeah, that's
a practical way, And I do normally

375
00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:14.960
try to avoid court and do something
like this before starting a court action.

376
00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:18.880
Yeah, that is crazy, But
there's no way you could do a quiet

377
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:22.759
title action this guy could do.
Huh, well, no, you'd see

378
00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:26.079
on the statute. The statute requires
the lendard to release the deda trust god

379
00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:29.480
request and if they haven't, you
see, unto the statute, you can

380
00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:32.640
get attorney fees and costs pursuing the
statute if you win. Yeah, if

381
00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:34.519
the guy, well, of course
you could get the judgment for it.

382
00:26:34.599 --> 00:26:37.839
But that doesn't mean you're going to
get any of the money. We all

383
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:41.240
know that. Well, I'm not
worried about the money. I just want

384
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:42.960
to be able to resell it.
I just want to know, Brad.

385
00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:48.240
What I'm talking about is, if
you hired someone like Brad O'Brien and he

386
00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:51.559
did it, you're going to have
attorney's fees tied up into that. Then

387
00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:56.440
if you get the judgment for the
attorney's fees, you're simply you might not

388
00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:59.279
be able to collect it. But
here's the other thing. If you really

389
00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:02.079
want to get the done, you
call it, Brad O'Brien. I mean,

390
00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:04.519
he'll get it done. But I'm
telling you, if we're talking about

391
00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:08.519
property that's only worth thirty five hundred
bucks in twenty twenty, I mean,

392
00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:11.880
my god, I have no idea, Brad, how much would that What

393
00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:17.599
is the worst scenario if this guy
fought it all the way? I mean,

394
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:21.839
how much he could have twenty grand
into this suit? Right? Yeah,

395
00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:25.599
but if you find a complaint and
get a default judgment because he doesn't

396
00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:27.519
answer, it might be less than
five. Here's what I think we should

397
00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:30.960
do. Oh that's a good point, Brad. That's a good point.

398
00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:33.359
But then, Brad, would you
be willing to pay let's just go off

399
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:37.000
there five grand to get this done? Yeah? I think so, because

400
00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:41.160
now that it was tax assessed in
twenty three at twenty one. Okay,

401
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:45.319
let's do this here. I want
a true game plan on this. I

402
00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:48.880
do want Scott. I want Scott
to call up and try to talk to

403
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:52.920
this guy first, Kelly. Hopefully
Scott's listening and has the gist. If

404
00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:57.119
not, if he isn't listening.
Have him call me when you text him

405
00:27:57.200 --> 00:28:00.079
after the show, and I'll fill
him in on this. I want to

406
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:03.960
try that first. Maybe we buy
the guy dinner. Let's take it the

407
00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:08.960
nicest, kindest way possible. You
know, the old me would have given

408
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:11.599
out his phone number by now and
blew him up. But I think this

409
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:15.480
guy doesn't care, so therefore that
might just piss him off. I just

410
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:21.079
have an email. It was all
done via the internet. Yeah, hold

411
00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:23.079
on, hold on. Oh you
don't even got Oh my god, wait

412
00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:26.799
a second, Brad, you don't
even got the guys. Okay, that's

413
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:30.160
fine. We're gonna have to email
email. Yeah, I have his email,

414
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:33.640
all right, give that information there. Just hold on and then listen.

415
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:37.480
If it doesn't work at that point, Brad, I want you to

416
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:40.000
call Brad O'Brien. I'm gonna give
his number out here, but you can

417
00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:42.920
find him on referral list dot com. But brado'brien, for everybody out there

418
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:48.039
listening, this is what he does. He deals with property. Doesn't matter

419
00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:51.519
if it's a dispute, it doesn't
matter. If you're buying a house,

420
00:28:51.799 --> 00:28:55.039
doesn't matter, if you're signing a
commercial lease, doesn't matter, if you're

421
00:28:55.079 --> 00:28:57.319
a landlord. If it has anything
to do with property, you call it.

422

00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:11.799
people this. If you are a
landlord in Denver, or for that matter,

425
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:17.160
most of Colorado, there has been
so many changes with that have to

426
00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:19.839
do with leases. Make sure your
lease is up to date, so if

427
00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:23.799
you do have a problem, you
can actually evict your tenant. I'm telling

428
00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:29.480
you it sounds crazy. It's very
hard to evict people in some places in

429
00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:33.400
Colorado, even if they're not paying. Call up, Brad, make sure

430

time of year. They come out, oh, that's ten fifteen years old.

447
00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:52.200
What do they try to do?
They even don't even sometimes give you

448
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:55.240
an option to get it fixed.
What they do is say, oh,

449
00:30:55.319 --> 00:30:57.640
you need a new unity. It's
ten thousand dollars or twenty whatever it is.

450
00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:02.079
Here's what ada E to E does. They're always going to give you

451
00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:04.440
a price to fix it. It
doesn't matter the condition. They're gonna tell

452
00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:07.160
you, hey, it's gonna cost
three grand to fix it, but it'll

453
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:11.400
probably last you another five years or
whatever. They're gonna give you all the

454
00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:15.119
options, or they're so honest.
It could be something simple and it only

455
00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:18.680
costs one hundred and fifty bucks to
fix. But my point is they always

456
00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:22.200
give you the option to fix it. Honest people, I love it.

457
00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:26.599
Eight eight eight heating dot com.
That's your website? Eight eight eight heating

458
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:30.400
dot com. Now I got Frank
and Stephanie in with me. I'm gonna

459
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:33.559
ask you real quick. Then we're
gonna jump to the phones. We've got

460
00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:38.240
a social Security scam. And then
George has an issue with a builder boy.

461
00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:41.559
You know that's gonna get my blood
boiling. And we do have two

462
00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:45.880
lines open. I always let people
know three oh three Martino three zero three

463
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:49.640
seven one three eight two five five, give me something to sink my teeth

464
00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:55.160
into my blood pressure. My watch
is buzzing. I'm getting up there.

465
00:31:55.359 --> 00:31:59.119
I'm starting to get up there.
I'd like going after bad guys. You

466
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:04.119
know that, don't you, right? I mean forever, it's really crazy.

467
00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:08.759
So let's talk Denver Metro real quick
inventory on Holmes up down from let's

468
00:32:08.759 --> 00:32:13.799
say, let's say last quarter,
last year so inventory has been a little

469
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:15.440
bit upmark, but I'll tell you
what. Inflation reports came in higher than

470
00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:17.839
expected, so it's caused ingiest rates
to go up just a bit. But

471
00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:22.160
overall the market's been strong. The
sweet spots between five hundred to seven and

472
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:25.960
fifty condos, townhomes around three hundred
to five hundred. So we still have

473
00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:30.119
it a little bit of an inventory
problem. So overall that favorite sellers,

474
00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:32.880
what is selling? What's the hardest
to sell? And this goes for you

475
00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:37.160
to Stephanie. When you get a
listing, and I know you both,

476
00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:39.359
I'm gonna use words you guys don't
like, but you get one that you

477
00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:44.119
dread. Is it a condo,
is it a town home? Single family

478
00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:47.559
house? What are the hard what
are the more difficult properties to sell?

479
00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:54.160
Honestly, I would say properties that
don't have as big a buyer pool.

480
00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:58.640
So for instance, if you have
a special property, a specialty property,

481
00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:02.119
oh, some type of a multi
family Not everybody's looking for multifamily. So

482
00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:07.680
when you have like a duplex,
a duplex, or you know, even

483
00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:13.000
maybe something that's in a mixed used
area potentially commercial or residential anything. Anytime

484
00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:16.359
you have something that really limits your
buyer pool. It does tend to elevate

485
00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:20.400
those days on market. I thought
you were going to say condos. But

486
00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:22.039
before I say anything, Frank,
what are you saying? Well, you

487
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:25.440
know, Mark, the interesting you
say that the condo market's been tough anything

488
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:29.559
below five hundred thousand. I believe
we have a inventory of around one thousand

489
00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:32.720
town home slash condos on the market. So because of increased HOA, it's

490
00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:36.559
tougher now to get insurance. Yeah, so it's been tougher. There's a

491
00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:39.240
lot more invatory in that price.
Mark. We get calls every week about

492
00:33:39.319 --> 00:33:45.279
condos and insurance. It's it's it's
crazy. The amount of coverage they have

493
00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:49.559
and the cost of that coverage is
nuts. Now, Yeah, and it's

494
00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:52.599
absolutely crazy. And you get a
pending lawsuit or a trip and fall lawsuit

495
00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:55.640
or a special assessment coming up.
That really makes it difficult. Man,

496
00:33:55.720 --> 00:33:59.680
that is nuts. All right,
We've got a lot to talk about,

497
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:01.680

to turn. We're gonna try to

515
00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:39.199
help this one guy out. Did
we get that, Kelly, Did we

516
00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:43.840
get that over to Deputy Scott,
the guy that can't get the guy to

517
00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:46.280
sign the lean release on that property. Yes, we did. I hope

518
00:35:46.360 --> 00:35:50.519
we can get that figured out in
a nice manner. And Deputy Scott,

519
00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:53.480
if you're listening, let's offer to
buy this guy something. Yeah, let's

520
00:35:53.559 --> 00:35:57.480
keep it around one hundred and two
hundred bucks, but let's actually do it

521
00:35:58.039 --> 00:36:00.719
if he comes through and gets it
signed. But I think that's going to

522
00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:05.280
be the right approach on that one. You can always, by the way,

533
00:36:45.239 --> 00:36:47.280
five. See, I'm trying to
be slick right now. I'm trying to

534
00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:51.079
do what we call in house inventory. I got to do a real quick

535
00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:52.599
commercial. And I look down to
do it and guess who it is.

536
00:36:53.239 --> 00:36:57.199
It's Frank Durant. And I'm like, well, he's in studio. What

537
00:36:57.320 --> 00:36:59.920
am I going to do a commercial? Even though you sit in here?

538
00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:02.000
But I'm going to do it.
Frank Durand the real estate man. You

539
00:37:02.119 --> 00:37:06.400
need the best realtor in the Denver
metro area, you call it Frank.

540
00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:12.039
I've used him numerous times, Martinos
used him numerous times. You want the

541
00:37:12.119 --> 00:37:15.280
most money for your house, you
call Frank. You want to negotiate the

542
00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:19.760
best price on a house you love, you call Frank. If you're in

543
00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:23.159
Colorado Springs, so do you call? You call Stephanie Thomas. I've been

544
00:37:23.239 --> 00:37:29.360
representing her out there for years and
years, in years, the entire Pike's

545
00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:32.400
Peak region. Now let's hop right
to the phones. Frank, do you

546
00:37:32.519 --> 00:37:37.000
have the call screener up? Do
you see it? I do? Who

547
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:39.800
would you like to go to?
Which one sounds interesting to you? Let's

548
00:37:39.840 --> 00:37:44.400
go with George on the builder contract. Hey, George, what the hell's

549
00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:49.079
going on with this contractor? Man? Hey, this is George. How

550
00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:52.320
are you good? George? Which
is UPMN? So I think we have

551
00:37:52.400 --> 00:38:00.360
a common con artist. His name
is Abby Schwab and Sean Schwab. They

552
00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:05.000
go after they go. The names
of their company is Schwab Builders. Why

553
00:38:05.079 --> 00:38:08.199
do you think they're con artists?
What did they do to you? Well,

554
00:38:08.360 --> 00:38:13.960
the interesting thing is I'm pulling from
Fort Lrda Delle, Florida, and

555
00:38:14.719 --> 00:38:21.719
they expanded their their their their territory
now down here South Florida. So long

556
00:38:21.800 --> 00:38:29.559
story shorts. We purchased a property
that was listed by Avi Schwab down here

557
00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:32.360
in for Lorda Delle, Florida.
He has several properties down here. So

558
00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:38.320
we entered to a contract with Aby
Schwab and basically, you know he you

559
00:38:38.360 --> 00:38:40.960
know, in addition to that,
we gave him two hundred and fifty thousand

560
00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:45.039
dollars that he took from us,
in addition to the money that we put

561
00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:49.000
in escrow. Wait a minute,
why did you give him the additional two

562
00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:54.840
hundred and fifty thousand that was outside
of escrow? Because for remodeling and also

563
00:38:55.000 --> 00:39:04.320
to begin the remodeling of the house. It's it's always astonishing to me how

564
00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:07.239
people hand over massive amounts of cash. Now, look, man, I'm

565
00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:09.880
not trying to beat you up,
and I'll be honest. I had a

566
00:39:09.960 --> 00:39:14.280
guy get me for a quarter million, literally got me. He's a jerk,

567
00:39:14.320 --> 00:39:16.360
and he nailed me years ago.
So I get it. I've been

568
00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:21.800
to where you are, but I
still find it astonishing when someone hands a

569
00:39:21.880 --> 00:39:25.400
contractor that kind of money up front. I'm looking at these clowns and the

570
00:39:25.480 --> 00:39:30.199
first thing that came up was a
BBB on them. And they've got an

571
00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:32.360
F rating. You know how hard
it is to get an F rating on

572
00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:37.199
the BBB. We had a guy
named Don Eiley who was an accountant that

573
00:39:37.320 --> 00:39:40.559
ripped people off in his in federal
prison. He still had an A plus

574
00:39:40.719 --> 00:39:45.920
rating with the BBB not long ago. This guy has got more complaints than

575
00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:52.440
I think I've ever seen on a
contractor on the BBB site F rating twenty

576
00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:58.000
one complaints in the last three years. These guys sound horrible. Where what's

577
00:39:58.079 --> 00:40:02.599
your situation right now? So the
situation is that we are supposed to so

578
00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:07.599
we have you know, we had
tens of thousands of dollars invested into the

579
00:40:07.639 --> 00:40:14.000
remodeling of the home, which he
allowed us complete access during the three months

580
00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:19.280
that we were under contract to remodel
a home. So we have to so

581
00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:24.599
we are supposed to close today.
Mind you, when we went for closing,

582
00:40:25.960 --> 00:40:31.119
mister Abb Schwab basically told the title
agent that when not closing, we

583
00:40:31.280 --> 00:40:37.920
find out that he is underwater.
He hasn't paid the mortgage for several months.

584
00:40:38.280 --> 00:40:42.760
So you upgraded. Hold on a
second, you upgraded his house,

585
00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:46.719
is what you're telling me with your
two hundred and fifty grand Yes, yes,

586
00:40:46.920 --> 00:40:50.800
and he doesn't want to close.
So when we found this out,

587
00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:53.039
my wife and I were sitting next
to me. We you know, she

588
00:40:53.119 --> 00:40:58.239
started doing some investigation with the Napicholas, you know down here. He just

589
00:40:59.559 --> 00:41:02.000
he just how do you know they're
doing business in Colorado? I mean,

590
00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:06.400
I see him on the Denver BBB. But how did you how did you

591
00:41:06.519 --> 00:41:09.679
relate them back? Is that from
your wife? Yes, my wife started

592
00:41:09.719 --> 00:41:15.320
doing Regoogle research and so forth,
and she seems all these reports on on

593
00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:19.960
Hobby and his son. I'm gonna
let me really talk all these people.

594
00:41:20.119 --> 00:41:22.440
Let me rephrase that question. Hold
on, let me rephrase that question,

595
00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:30.039
how do you know he's still doing
business in Colorado because he has an office

596
00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:36.519
in Colorado. I'll give you his
address, his assist and his name is

597
00:41:36.679 --> 00:41:39.480
Nancy. We're talking to her.
Wait wait wait, wait, stop stop,

598
00:41:39.639 --> 00:41:45.639
so we can actually go to a
place that this guy is associated with.

599
00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:50.960
Is it like two separate is it
two separate businesses or the same business?

600
00:41:51.199 --> 00:41:54.440
As far as you know, he
owns the building. He owns several

601
00:41:55.000 --> 00:41:59.440
apartments in that building. So where
is he leaving you at right now?

602
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:01.800
In other words, he doesn't want
to close. What's he telling you if

603
00:42:01.800 --> 00:42:07.480
there? Or is he totally ghosted
you? What's going on? Well,

604
00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:12.840
we had a heated conversation yesterday over
the phone, basically saying that you know,

605
00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:16.199
we have to close. Closing date
was today and at top of that,

606
00:42:16.679 --> 00:42:20.880
we you know, becomes April thirtious, we have to move out,

607
00:42:20.960 --> 00:42:23.239
so we're basically homeless. And then
how much how much of the lean said

608
00:42:23.280 --> 00:42:30.400
he's acquired leans He owns over one
hundred thousand dollars, Oh my god,

609
00:42:30.719 --> 00:42:34.519
and he upgraded dad hash. Yeah, at the top of that, he

610
00:42:34.599 --> 00:42:37.519
owns he owes twentyevs. You know
what he's gonna do? You know what

611
00:42:37.599 --> 00:42:40.840
he's gonna do. He's gonna sell
it to somebody else. Well, we

612
00:42:40.920 --> 00:42:45.039
have an attorney that we just spoke
to, and what they said he basically

613
00:42:45.159 --> 00:42:47.719
going to do is if he doesn't
close by closing date to day, which

614
00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:52.480
he actually hasn't appeared, that we're
gonna file suits and we're gonna basically put

615
00:42:52.519 --> 00:42:55.199
a I don't know what they call
it, a freeze or hold on so

616
00:42:55.360 --> 00:42:59.039
that, you know, so the
property can't be sold. I wonder if

617
00:42:59.079 --> 00:43:04.639
you could lean Oh, man,
it's so complicated. I'd ask Brad O'Brien,

618
00:43:04.679 --> 00:43:07.920
but he doesn't. He doesn't practice
law in Florida. I'll tell you

619
00:43:07.039 --> 00:43:10.800
one thing I do know. Florida
is pretty tough man. Florida does not

620
00:43:12.119 --> 00:43:16.920
like bad contractors. Florida will go
after him big time if you can.

621
00:43:17.199 --> 00:43:21.760
I don't know if they have like
a contractor's trust actor something down there.

622
00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:25.079
But this thing's so convoluted. I
would like to do this. I do

623
00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:30.679
something, Yeah, go ahead,
something. The real focus of our phone

624
00:43:30.719 --> 00:43:35.159
call today was because he's a con
artist. Yeah, and his son Sean

625
00:43:35.440 --> 00:43:38.360
and Avi and uh, you know, we've been to his house down here

626
00:43:38.440 --> 00:43:44.639
in Florida and his son you know, basically has a four hundred and fifty

627
00:43:44.719 --> 00:43:47.719
thousand dollars Lamborghini, a Ducati.
I mean he has all these toys.

628
00:43:49.119 --> 00:43:52.079
He has a yacht in the back
of his house, and he claims that

629
00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:54.599
you know, you know, they
made all this money for investments. But

630
00:43:54.760 --> 00:43:59.760
long story short, when we found
out that he's conned so many people in

631
00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:04.079
Colorado, Yeah, so you know
he's now you know he's doing getting now

632
00:44:04.119 --> 00:44:07.360
he had down here Florida. I
don't know how this got. Who's out

633
00:44:07.440 --> 00:44:10.239
who would be out here we would
talk to on your situation that would be

634
00:44:10.440 --> 00:44:15.840
familiar with what's happening. What would
a name be, Well, show me

635
00:44:15.960 --> 00:44:22.159
that Nancy Dominguez. Yeah, but
you said she's she answers the phone.

636
00:44:22.239 --> 00:44:25.400
She's the secretary or whatever. No, that's his right hand person. I

637
00:44:25.440 --> 00:44:28.719
can give you this address. Yeah, hold on, let's do this.

638
00:44:28.840 --> 00:44:30.000
I want to try this. I
got to take a break, Hey,

639
00:44:30.119 --> 00:44:34.920
Kelly, let's try to get her, this Nancy to come on the air

640
00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:37.840
and see what she knows about it. Get the number. I don't want

641
00:44:37.880 --> 00:44:40.039
to give it out over the air
yet. But this poor guy man talk

642
00:44:40.079 --> 00:44:45.599
about getting shank. This is nuts. I always wondered how people like this

643
00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:50.480
still walk around. You figure you're
one You're one kind away from the wrong

644
00:44:50.599 --> 00:44:53.239
person. Wouldn't you be afraid to
sleep? Or wouldn't you sleep with one

645
00:44:53.320 --> 00:44:59.440
eye open? Ripping someone off for
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, then

646
00:44:59.480 --> 00:45:01.800
you're gonna get evicted from what you
thought was your own house you put into

647
00:45:01.880 --> 00:45:06.400
it. I mean, this guy
better sleep with two eyes open. I

648
00:45:06.480 --> 00:45:09.760
don't know how these guys do it. I simply don't know how they're walking

649
00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:15.440
around ripping people off. Let's try
to get Nancy on the phone. Hank

you've been ripped off or taking advantage
of Kelly? Did we reach out

659
00:46:02.719 --> 00:46:08.559
to the person over at Schwab?
We did? Oo? Who'd you talk

660
00:46:08.639 --> 00:46:12.840
to? I talked to Nancy?
And what did Nancy? What did you

661
00:46:13.079 --> 00:46:15.880
say? And let me catch everybody
up if you just tuned in. We've

662
00:46:15.960 --> 00:46:20.000
got a guy that called He lives
in Florida. He was buying a house,

663
00:46:20.119 --> 00:46:23.000
apparently according to him, from Schwab
and let me let me spell this

664
00:46:23.079 --> 00:46:32.760
so everybody knows it's not Schwab like
the brokerage place Schwab Scchwalb Builders. So

665
00:46:32.920 --> 00:46:37.239
he calls up from Florida. They're
in Florida and they're in Colorado, and

666
00:46:37.440 --> 00:46:42.880
he says that he was buying a
house from these guys. While they were

667
00:46:43.039 --> 00:46:46.840
living there and buying it, they
put two hundred and fifty thousand in additional

668
00:46:46.960 --> 00:46:52.880
money into the house and upgraded it
before they purchased it. They were supposed

669
00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:57.519
to close on the house today and
they find out there's one hundred thousand dollars

670
00:46:57.599 --> 00:47:00.800
in leans on the house, so
they have earn his money tied up.

671
00:47:01.239 --> 00:47:07.039
The guys don't want to close with
Schwalb Builders, and this guy has already

672
00:47:07.079 --> 00:47:10.639
dumped an additional two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars according to him, and upgrades

673
00:47:10.719 --> 00:47:15.000
on the house, which, by
the way, that was not very smart.

674
00:47:15.159 --> 00:47:17.920
It just wasn't. But we are
where we are. So you called

675
00:47:19.039 --> 00:47:22.159
up and talked to Nancy, who
was in their location here in Colorado,

676
00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:25.800
and I'll tell you what, we
might go visit that location. But what

677
00:47:25.960 --> 00:47:32.239
did you find out from Nancy?
Well, Nancy said that she doesn't work

678
00:47:32.559 --> 00:47:38.639
for that part of the business for
auv Schwab. That's all the info we

679
00:47:38.760 --> 00:47:42.440
got. Did she tell us who? I tried to get her to come

680
00:47:42.519 --> 00:47:45.000
on the air and just give general
information about what she does for Schwab,

681
00:47:45.039 --> 00:47:49.880
and she basically said, I'm not
going to do that, and so I

682
00:47:50.079 --> 00:47:52.039
tried to go to her a little
bit more and she simply said, I'm

683
00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:59.039
going to hang up now and you
need to speak with AUVIY directly. George,

684
00:47:59.079 --> 00:48:01.159
do you have this Odd's phone number? Who's Avy? I've got it.

685
00:48:01.239 --> 00:48:05.000
I'm trying to call it right now. Let's get Aviy is I do

686
00:48:05.119 --> 00:48:08.079
you know who AVI is? George? Yeah, Abby is a person who

687
00:48:08.400 --> 00:48:15.000
owns the company. Abby is is
Sean Schwab's father who lives out here.

688
00:48:15.400 --> 00:48:19.400
Do you know do either of them
live out here? Yeah, Ibby lives

689
00:48:19.440 --> 00:48:22.920
in hold. Let's try it.
Let's okay, hold on, hold on,

690
00:48:22.039 --> 00:48:24.199
we're going to try to get av
on you. Just hank tight,

691
00:48:24.280 --> 00:48:27.639
George. We'll get back to you. I want to find that out.

692
00:48:27.719 --> 00:48:30.880
I think it's crazy, man,
absolutely crazy. These guys did it for

693
00:48:31.039 --> 00:48:35.480
you or did this to you?
It's nuts, Eric, You've been holding

694
00:48:35.519 --> 00:48:39.960
forever? What's up, Eric?
Yeah, I'm trying to get scammed.

695
00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:45.199
The Social Security Administration appears you're trying
to get scammed. You mean someone's trying

696
00:48:45.239 --> 00:48:52.519
to scam you. Oh yeah,
I got a PDF file from a Did

697
00:48:52.599 --> 00:48:55.679
you email that to us? Is
that what I saw? I did?

698
00:48:55.960 --> 00:48:59.239
Hold on, let me pull this
up. I didn't get to read it,

699
00:48:59.320 --> 00:49:01.599
but I said, okay, this
one's stupid. This is actually a

700
00:49:01.679 --> 00:49:07.599
horrible scam. It's so dumb,
it's crazy. First of all, here's

701
00:49:07.639 --> 00:49:09.199
what it says. It's from.
Oh my god, I can't believe how

702
00:49:09.280 --> 00:49:13.639
bad this scammer is. This might
be the worst scammer we ever met.

703
00:49:14.719 --> 00:49:22.719
It's from Mohammed Baisley ztpt at gmail
dot com. Okay, that's who.

704
00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:25.800
That's who the emails from. That's
insane, And it says, we regret

705
00:49:25.880 --> 00:49:32.800
to inform you that your Social Security
number has been temporarily suspended due to the

706
00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:40.159
detection of suspicious and unlawful activities uncovered
in our investigation. Now, first of

707
00:49:40.199 --> 00:49:44.239
all, what the hell? Yes, yes, yes, Shannon, what's

708
00:49:44.320 --> 00:49:49.639
up? Oh god, we're gonna
get Avi on. Listen. If I

709
00:49:49.719 --> 00:49:52.320
got to put you on hold,
it's because I got I got someone I

710
00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:55.119
got. Well, he can't hear
me right now because Kelly's talking to him.

711
00:49:55.159 --> 00:49:59.719
I got a possible real scammer that
knows how to scam people, of

712
00:49:59.800 --> 00:50:02.519
course, to the caller. But
anyhow, this is so stupid. The

713
00:50:02.599 --> 00:50:06.840
first thing you got to think of, man, is why own by the

714
00:50:06.880 --> 00:50:12.280
way, kind regards Social Security Administration, United States of America, that's how

715
00:50:12.320 --> 00:50:15.159
it signs off. Think about this. So what would that mean to have

716
00:50:15.360 --> 00:50:20.960
your Social Security numbers suspended? I
don't even I mean, that's the dumbest

717
00:50:20.960 --> 00:50:22.960
thing I ever heard. And Minos
will say, Hey, if you don't

718
00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:27.400
send us fifty dollars, we're going
to suspend your birthday for the next year.

719
00:50:27.639 --> 00:50:30.239
I mean, it just doesn't make
any sense. Did you respond to

720
00:50:30.320 --> 00:50:35.480
this guy, Eric, No,
I just Shannon, do we got him?

721
00:50:35.480 --> 00:50:38.400
Hold on? I got to put
you Kelly. What happened? Did

722
00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:44.360
you talk to ali Auvi? And
he hung up on me. He's at

723
00:50:44.400 --> 00:50:46.599
the airport. He said that he
only had five minutes. I tried to

724
00:50:46.639 --> 00:50:50.639
get him to come on for that
five minutes, and all he kept saying

725
00:50:50.800 --> 00:50:53.840
is George needs to speak with my
lawyer. George needs to speak with his

726
00:50:54.039 --> 00:50:58.480
lawyer. My god, he's got
a lawyer. George is the one that

727
00:50:58.519 --> 00:51:01.559
should have the lawyer. Is he
absconding? Where's he going? Is he

728
00:51:01.679 --> 00:51:05.400
on the lamb? He's ready to
catch your plane? Is he going to

729
00:51:05.480 --> 00:51:07.159
the Caribbean? What the hell's going
on? He would not tell me where

730
00:51:07.199 --> 00:51:12.320
he's going, and he was very
vague. He just kept saying that he

731
00:51:12.360 --> 00:51:15.079
would need to talk to his lawyer, talk to his lawyer. Do you

732
00:51:15.199 --> 00:51:17.480
does the guy even give you a
lawyer's information? Oh? No, of

733
00:51:17.559 --> 00:51:21.440
course not. No, I'm asking
George, do you have any information?

734
00:51:22.880 --> 00:51:25.559
No, he does have a lawyer. He has a title agent, and

735
00:51:27.159 --> 00:51:32.880
the title agent's name is Paul Feldman
and basically Ozvy. Yesterday was on a

736
00:51:32.960 --> 00:51:38.079
call with Paul Feldman, the title
agent who is basically doing the closing for

737
00:51:39.559 --> 00:51:45.039
both parties, Oby and ourselves,
and he basically went on as Ti Rane

738
00:51:45.880 --> 00:51:50.760
call basically Chursy Mount say, how
Dad you schedule closing? I didn't authorize

739
00:51:50.800 --> 00:51:54.800
it. I don't have the minyor
clothes. And this is Avi. This

740
00:51:55.000 --> 00:52:00.440
is Aviy, this is Avi and
a top of that Abby watching George.

741
00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:02.920
I know you lost a quartermill,
bro, but you can't be dropping the

742
00:52:04.039 --> 00:52:09.199
bombs. I'm sorry, sorry,
he needs to be stopped. His main

743
00:52:09.320 --> 00:52:13.800
business is in Colorado. Someone need
to get the district attorney. You know

744
00:52:13.880 --> 00:52:16.960
what I'd like to do. I
really would like to talk to this guy

745
00:52:17.159 --> 00:52:22.519
personally. I'm trying to think of
how I want to handle this. Hey,

746
00:52:22.960 --> 00:52:27.679
George, keep make sure we have
all your information, man, don't

747
00:52:28.719 --> 00:52:31.400
I don't see that we have anything. Kelly, please get everything. I

748
00:52:31.519 --> 00:52:37.159
want a phone number for George his
last name. I really want some information.

749
00:52:37.639 --> 00:52:40.440
And what phone number, Kelly did
you call? Avi? Who is

750
00:52:40.559 --> 00:52:45.280
apparently at Dea right now, ready
to board a plane. And this is

751
00:52:45.440 --> 00:52:51.039
the guy that was supposed to close
on a house with George today, And

752
00:52:51.239 --> 00:52:53.760
all of a sudden they find out
there's one hundred thousand dollars in lians.

753
00:52:53.800 --> 00:52:59.159
This is all according to George.
George also gave him two hundred and fifty

754
00:52:59.239 --> 00:53:02.440
thousand to do improvements on the house
so when they closed, the house would

755
00:53:02.440 --> 00:53:07.199
be exactly how they want it.
So now that you know, at minimum,

756
00:53:07.320 --> 00:53:10.880
George is out two hundred and fifty
thousand. But what number did you

757
00:53:12.039 --> 00:53:15.639
call? Aviy at? And maybe
one of our nice listeners out there,

758
00:53:15.679 --> 00:53:19.920
and I'm being serious, can call
up and see if this guy is actually

759
00:53:20.039 --> 00:53:23.880
going to make it right? What
is his intentions? Just ask Aviy what

760
00:53:24.159 --> 00:53:29.880
his intentions are at this number.
Go ahead, Kelly, seven to zero

761
00:53:30.400 --> 00:53:37.119
two one eight zero three five four. That's his cell phone, And I

762
00:53:37.199 --> 00:53:40.159
want you to be nice. I
honestly, we've got to try to help

763
00:53:40.239 --> 00:53:45.760
George out. He's in Florida.
This show reaches a long, long way,

764
00:53:45.199 --> 00:53:49.159
and I would love to help him
out. You realize we got fifty

765
00:53:49.320 --> 00:53:54.760
thousand plus people all over the country
that listen to our podcast every single month,

766
00:53:54.920 --> 00:53:59.199
over fifty thousand a month. It's
a crazy number. So we have

767
00:53:59.360 --> 00:54:02.800
listeners everywhere. But here's the deal. Av You know, if you're listening

768
00:54:02.960 --> 00:54:07.239
right now, just tell us what's
going on. I'm not going to jump

769
00:54:07.320 --> 00:54:13.239
to conclusions and say that you are
a BS artist and you are ripping this

770
00:54:13.480 --> 00:54:17.559
guy off, and you did take
and it seems like stole his two hundred

771
00:54:17.559 --> 00:54:22.440
and fifty thousand dollars. I'm not
going to make that leap right now.

772
00:54:22.800 --> 00:54:27.079
What I would like to know from
you a V is are you going to

773
00:54:27.199 --> 00:54:31.480
get this thing closed and get the
one hundred thousand dollars of leans that George

774
00:54:31.559 --> 00:54:37.920
says is on the property removed so
so he can actually close on the property

775
00:54:38.239 --> 00:54:43.400
he has put two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars in. I wish, I

776
00:54:43.519 --> 00:54:47.360
wish this was going down in Colorado
and not in Florida. But thank goodness,

777
00:54:47.480 --> 00:54:57.440
this business apparently is out here.

perfect example of that. We do not

782
00:55:17.880 --> 00:55:22.039
like when people get ripped off to
this tune. Actually, we don't like

783
00:55:22.079 --> 00:55:25.920
when people get ripped off at all. But this is a quarter million dollars

784
00:55:27.199 --> 00:55:32.320

talk. Maybe someone out there can get

Listen to this or opening up a

794
00:56:24.719 --> 00:56:30.440
place in Houston, which is amazing
two hundred and fifty bucks. I'm not

795
00:56:30.519 --> 00:56:35.840
even doing a spot. I'm actually
emailing doctor Joel because I'm helping them out

796
00:56:35.880 --> 00:56:38.920
with Houston. But they're opening a
clinic there. When I say other places

797
00:56:39.000 --> 00:56:43.639
do it for fifteen hundred a month
or two thousand, I'm not kidding these

798
00:56:43.639 --> 00:56:46.280
guys. Two hundred and fifty bucks
semi glue tide. I think the other

799
00:56:46.440 --> 00:56:51.239
drug, the try whatever, is
a little more expensive, but compared to

800
00:56:51.320 --> 00:56:57.960
the other clinics, it's not.
I hope he doesn't call Houston's location Denver

801
00:56:58.119 --> 00:57:00.440
region. That could be very odd. I assume it's going to be Houston

802
00:57:00.519 --> 00:57:06.719
region, but I figured i'd share
that with people. It really is a

803
00:57:06.800 --> 00:57:09.239
true deal. Now, if anybody
gets in touch with av, we do

804

00:57:21.119 --> 00:57:23.480
email from a scammer. Eric.
It's like the worst scam I've ever seen.

808
00:57:23.679 --> 00:57:28.400
We're gonna pause or put your social
Security number on hold. It's just

809
00:57:28.599 --> 00:57:30.719
ridiculous. In fact, it's so
bad, I bet no one has ever

810
00:57:30.880 --> 00:57:37.320
fallen for it. What do you
think? Tell me you ran out and

811
00:57:37.400 --> 00:57:43.199
got him a gift card to Amazon? Oh no, actually Apple gift cards.

812
00:57:43.599 --> 00:57:47.320
You did not. If you did, I would give you the Dumbest

been holding the longest. Lisa has an

819
00:58:16.760 --> 00:58:21.360
issue with roaches in her apartment.
Lisa, you'll be next. Hey Mike,

820
00:58:21.440 --> 00:58:24.400
what's going on? Man? Good
morning? Mark. I purchased a

821
00:58:24.480 --> 00:58:31.719
vehicle from a dealership back east.
It's a twenty twenty two Cadillac XT six.

822
00:58:32.440 --> 00:58:37.960
Bottom line is it's been in a
wreck, but it's not didn't show

823
00:58:37.000 --> 00:58:42.079
up on Carfax. It's been repaired. But I mean I I Hey,

824
00:58:42.440 --> 00:58:45.400
Mike, Mike, I'm sorry,
man, it's a twenty twenty two what

825
00:58:45.920 --> 00:58:52.960
Cadillac? Cadillac? What xt six? Is that like a suv? It's

826
00:58:53.000 --> 00:58:55.960
like the Mini of the Escalade.
It's the smaller version of the Esclade.

827
00:58:55.960 --> 00:58:59.519
I got you. So you bought
this and when you bought it, did

828
00:58:59.599 --> 00:59:02.079
you look at it it all?
Or you just bought its sight unseen from

829
00:59:02.360 --> 00:59:07.039
wherever you said? Not unseen?
Because I was told that it wasn't in

830
00:59:07.119 --> 00:59:10.079
a wreck and everything was fine,
and you pulled tell that there have been

831
00:59:10.719 --> 00:59:15.360
Well, hold on a second,
you pulled a car fax? You did?

832
00:59:15.559 --> 00:59:17.440
Or did they pull it and tell
you what was clean? Or did

833
00:59:17.519 --> 00:59:22.280
you actually look at a car FAXX
and it was clean? They they I

834
00:59:22.360 --> 00:59:24.559
looked at their car facts that they
pulled and that it's clean. And if

835
00:59:24.599 --> 00:59:30.760
you pull one now out of curiosity, is it still clean? I haven't

836
00:59:30.800 --> 00:59:34.559
done that. Now, that'd be
interesting. I would like you to do

837
00:59:34.679 --> 00:59:37.000
that. But go ahead. So
the car showed up and you talk about

838
00:59:37.000 --> 00:59:42.039
an accident, How do you know
there was an accident? You can tell

839
00:59:42.119 --> 00:59:46.679
by the paint, like under the
hood or somewhere no back to the rear

840
00:59:46.800 --> 00:59:51.119
end, okay, And I don't
know what extensive damage, but I mean

841
00:59:51.159 --> 00:59:53.440
you can just tell that is it
painted on on the on the rear quarter

842
00:59:53.559 --> 00:59:59.760
panels on both sides, you know, and it's obvious. I mean,

843
01:00:00.039 --> 01:00:02.679
anybody can see that it's been painted
on. It's not hard to tell.

844
01:00:02.960 --> 01:00:07.400
Well what else, Let let's forget
about that. So it's a bad paint

845
01:00:07.519 --> 01:00:09.679
job, and you know, it
seems like it probably got rear ended or

846
01:00:09.719 --> 01:00:14.960
backed into something whatever, happened.
So when you call them up, what

847
01:00:15.039 --> 01:00:17.920
do they say? Right now?
I have not done that. I wanted

848
01:00:17.960 --> 01:00:22.079
to ask you, what would you
do do I Well, you're all done,

849
01:00:22.280 --> 01:00:28.280
I've there's a couple things here.
I appreciate you asking me. Where

850
01:00:28.400 --> 01:00:36.119
my brain went immediately was who cares? And here's why if it was painted

851
01:00:36.199 --> 01:00:38.360
properly. And I don't know how
much that dollar amount is, but it

852
01:00:38.480 --> 01:00:43.039
is a dollar amount, and depending
on how big the area, long as

853
01:00:43.119 --> 01:00:46.760
everything's lined up right the bump or
the trunk, everything's good. If let's

854
01:00:46.760 --> 01:00:52.519
say a thousand bucks in paint would
fix this situation, I wouldn't look at

855
01:00:52.559 --> 01:00:55.800
this as that bad of a deal. If the carfax is clean. That's

856
01:00:55.800 --> 01:01:00.159
why I asked you if you pulled
it, because if you pulled it and

857
01:01:00.199 --> 01:01:02.519
the car fax is clean, when
you go to sell it, the car

858
01:01:02.679 --> 01:01:06.000
fax is still going to be clean, unless, of course, you get

859
01:01:06.039 --> 01:01:08.400
into a wreck or someone hits you
or something. So I don't know if

860
01:01:08.440 --> 01:01:14.599
it's that big of a deal,
nor did they imply any warranty? Did

861
01:01:14.639 --> 01:01:17.320
they actually tell you? And more
importantly, is it in writing or email

862
01:01:17.719 --> 01:01:23.400
something to the tune that it's never
been in an accident. No, No,

863
01:01:24.199 --> 01:01:29.880
because all funny because it's obvious to
me, like you know, to

864
01:01:30.039 --> 01:01:32.639
discovery. You know that the dealership
should have disclosed it. You know,

865
01:01:32.719 --> 01:01:37.719
we did a video walk around on
the whole vehicle. It's just there,

866
01:01:37.800 --> 01:01:39.679
you can see it. Okay.
Besides that, though, I want that

867
01:01:39.840 --> 01:01:45.199
part out of your brain. Besides
that, do you even care if it

868
01:01:45.440 --> 01:01:47.960
looked right? Or is it just
bothering you that it did get repaired.

869
01:01:49.199 --> 01:01:52.719
If they repaired it properly and the
paint was perfect, would you care?

870
01:01:53.159 --> 01:01:57.920
I wouldn't know. Yeah, that's
true, you wouldn't know. But if

871
01:01:58.000 --> 01:02:00.920
you could get it painted now,
and let's say it's a thousand bucks,

872
01:02:01.480 --> 01:02:07.039
would you care? Probably not,
Okay, then I would see how much

873
01:02:07.119 --> 01:02:10.239
it is going to be to get
painted. So other than that, the

874
01:02:10.360 --> 01:02:15.360
car's in good shape, it runs
fine, no issues. Yeah, it's

875
01:02:15.079 --> 01:02:19.000
yeah, I had like thirteen thousand
miles on it. It's in that condition

876
01:02:19.159 --> 01:02:21.960
other than it's been wrecked, you
know. And did you get a good

877
01:02:22.039 --> 01:02:24.599
deal on it condition? Well?
I think I got an I think it

878
01:02:24.679 --> 01:02:28.760
was a fair price. Okay,
yeah, well, but I mean I

879
01:02:29.079 --> 01:02:30.360
feel like it could have been a
better price if I knew that it was

880
01:02:30.400 --> 01:02:34.280
in an accident. Yeah, well, I mean that's too late, man.

881
01:02:34.440 --> 01:02:37.599
You bought it as is. It
is what it is, and it's

882
01:02:37.679 --> 01:02:40.360
not as bad as most of the
cars we get. You're just frustrating because

883
01:02:40.360 --> 01:02:45.239
you feel like they snookered you man
a little bit. Yeah, and I

884
01:02:45.320 --> 01:02:46.920
mean I just wanted you bounce it
off from you. And what would you

885
01:02:47.000 --> 01:02:50.239
do, because I mean it is
something that I could take on a small

886
01:02:50.280 --> 01:02:52.320
claims for the different No, not
out of state. It'd be a real

887
01:02:52.400 --> 01:02:57.199
pain in the ass, and you
could paint it even cheaper. Okay,

888
01:02:57.519 --> 01:03:01.280
I appreciate it. You know who's
what area town you in. I'm in

889
01:03:01.320 --> 01:03:06.719
the mid South metro you know what
in Castle Rock. I've used these guys

890
01:03:06.800 --> 01:03:09.000
numerous times. Just call them up, ask them or drive it down there.

891
01:03:09.039 --> 01:03:12.599
They'll give you a quote right on
there. I don't know how quick

892
01:03:12.639 --> 01:03:16.000
they're going to be, but Michael's
autobody. They're not on the referral list,

893
01:03:16.039 --> 01:03:19.840
but I have personally used them a
million times. One of the reason

894
01:03:19.880 --> 01:03:23.760
they're not on is they're so busy. It's insane. I mean it's crazy.

895
01:03:23.880 --> 01:03:28.159
Michael is like he's a god when
it comes to paint and repair.

896
01:03:28.280 --> 01:03:31.119
So just kind of drive it down
there. See how much they're talking about

897
01:03:31.159 --> 01:03:35.400
to fix it, and I just
get it fixed, because it's evident every

898
01:03:35.440 --> 01:03:37.960
time you walk into a parking lot
at this point and look at that car,

899
01:03:38.000 --> 01:03:42.679
it's driving you crazy. So grab
that extra grand out of your pocket

900
01:03:42.719 --> 01:03:45.880
and just get it out of your
head, you know what I'm saying.

901
01:03:46.039 --> 01:03:49.280
Yeah, well, thank you,
Mark, You're welcome. Have a good

902
01:03:49.360 --> 01:03:52.360
one man. Yeah, it would
bother me too, it would. But

903
01:03:52.480 --> 01:03:55.800
I have learned in my ripe age
of fifty two, I have learned to

904
01:03:57.480 --> 01:04:00.960
take deep breaths and keep your bladood
pressure down and don't get upset, and

905
01:04:01.079 --> 01:04:04.800
don't yell at contractors. And you
know, I've learned that don't don't be

906
01:04:04.920 --> 01:04:11.119
the guy on Frontier that's screaming at
everybody because Frontiers trying to screw you right

907
01:04:11.159 --> 01:04:14.760
there at the airport. Don't be
that guy. Mark. I tell myself

908
01:04:14.800 --> 01:04:16.440
that every day, Frank, aren't
you proud of me? Don't forget the

909
01:04:16.480 --> 01:04:21.559
shucks and darn Mark, As Frank
says, I am a shucks and darn

910
01:04:21.679 --> 01:04:25.880
kind of guy. I'll never forget
the first time you told me that it

911
01:04:26.000 --> 01:04:30.119
had to be got fifteen years Frank
twelve years, I don't know, a

912
01:04:30.280 --> 01:04:34.800
long time ago. We're sitting in
here, and if you listen on YouTube,

913
01:04:35.960 --> 01:04:40.159
you go to YouTube and you hit
Troubleshooter Network. But if you listen

914
01:04:40.239 --> 01:04:45.079
to us on breaks that way,
I've been known to drop a few let's

915
01:04:45.119 --> 01:04:47.400
say F bombs. I mean,
we can say that, and a few

916
01:04:48.800 --> 01:04:53.639
choice colorful words. I mean,
you know, just a few. Yes.

917
01:04:54.119 --> 01:04:58.880
I've been getting better though in my
older age. And one day Frank

918
01:04:59.000 --> 01:05:03.440
is sitting here and he looks over
at me during break after I'm spouting off

919
01:05:03.559 --> 01:05:09.840
something and says to me, with
the most serious face I've ever seen,

920
01:05:11.239 --> 01:05:14.519
go ahead, Frank, say it. I said, Mark, you're not

921
01:05:14.639 --> 01:05:17.000
exactly a shucks and darn kind of
guy, are you? And I looked

922
01:05:17.000 --> 01:05:23.039
at him and it took me a
second, and I'm pretty sure I said

923
01:05:23.599 --> 01:05:29.119
f No, I'm not. So
it was an interesting conversation. All right,

924
01:05:29.159 --> 01:05:32.199
three oh three seven one three A
two five five roaches in an apartment.

925

We're going to try to help Lisa
out. Maybe I'll send a deputy

926
01:05:35.159 --> 01:05:40.599
out there see us. Sometimes sometimes
we go out to these apartments and in

927
01:05:40.719 --> 01:05:43.679
all honesty, we don't see any
issues. We're going to talk to Lisa

928
01:05:44.079 --> 01:05:48.519
and then Dave. Dave has a
issue with car insurance. We can get

929
01:05:48.519 --> 01:05:51.320

probably be able to answer that. But

938
01:06:36.920 --> 01:06:44.639
news, breaking news from the Frank
Duran household. So we were talking about

939
01:06:45.519 --> 01:06:48.559
uh me being a shuckson darn kind
of guy, and Frank was sharing some

940
01:06:48.719 --> 01:06:53.079
of the words that your mother would
use and what was what were you sharing

941
01:06:53.199 --> 01:06:57.800
before uh before the Breakdore hit your
mic Go ahead, Well, Mark,

942
01:06:57.840 --> 01:07:00.119
my mom just sent me a text
she wrote, she said, frank ed

943
01:07:00.199 --> 01:07:02.679
word. She's my middle of name
when I'm in trouble. I heard what

944
01:07:02.800 --> 01:07:08.039
you said. Uh now what did
you say for people that just tuned in?

945
01:07:08.440 --> 01:07:12.400
You said, you remember your mother
always saying stuff like I don't recollect

946
01:07:12.480 --> 01:07:15.719
mark fizzle sticks, more trouble fizzle
sticks or something. Then she says,

947
01:07:15.840 --> 01:07:18.559
she says, I don't talk that
way now. I have alternative words such

948
01:07:18.599 --> 01:07:25.440
as shazam and fiddley d fiddlely d
fiddlely d, Frank duran. You were

949
01:07:25.480 --> 01:07:30.280
supposed to be home by Dawn fiddley
d anybody. My mom is five foot

950
01:07:30.360 --> 01:07:31.440
nothing. I'm still scared to death
of her, So I don't mess with

951
01:07:31.480 --> 01:07:34.679
my mom. Man, you know, you made me think of something.

952
01:07:35.079 --> 01:07:41.880
I had a friend growing up.
His name was Greg Stanley and his stepdad,

953
01:07:42.079 --> 01:07:45.599
okay, his name was Pat.
They lived in a house. It

954
01:07:45.760 --> 01:07:49.519
was five brothers and then the mother
and the dad. The dad worked like

955
01:07:49.719 --> 01:07:53.960
all the time, just put food
on the table all the time. The

956
01:07:54.079 --> 01:07:58.079
mother was like five foot tall,
maybe even shorter, and this is how

957
01:07:58.280 --> 01:08:01.000
she would do it. And it's
so funny listening to this, because in

958
01:08:01.079 --> 01:08:04.400
a way it's kind of sad,
but it was very true, and it's

959
01:08:04.440 --> 01:08:10.320
also kind of funny. It's kind
of strange. So if one boy was

960
01:08:10.400 --> 01:08:15.199
in trouble, she would make the
others hold them down and she'd hit him

961
01:08:15.199 --> 01:08:17.840
with a frying pan. I mean, straight up, go get your brother

962
01:08:17.960 --> 01:08:21.199
and bring them over here. And
they would run like hell because I mean,

963
01:08:21.279 --> 01:08:26.920
they're getting ready to be hit with
a frying pan. So when you

964
01:08:27.000 --> 01:08:29.840
first hear it, you think it
is funny, but then you really go,

965
01:08:30.359 --> 01:08:32.640
oh, man, that would suck
to grow up. When you're in

966
01:08:32.760 --> 01:08:36.600
trouble you get nailed with a frying
pan. Do you remember Deputy Dan?

967
01:08:38.399 --> 01:08:41.520
Absolutely? So. Deputy Dan was
one of her deputies forever, and I

968
01:08:41.640 --> 01:08:45.239
still play racketball with him. But
he has a story that's crazy too.

969
01:08:45.319 --> 01:08:46.359
Man. You know what he would
do and I promise I'll get to the

970
01:08:46.399 --> 01:08:51.199
phones. I'm just up against the
clock. So his dad would pull out

971
01:08:51.359 --> 01:08:55.479
pliers. They grew up on a
farm. He was like the real deal

972
01:08:55.640 --> 01:08:59.520
farmer. They had sheep and cows
and goats and whatever they got on farms.

973
01:09:00.199 --> 01:09:02.319
His dad always had plyers on his
belt. And if you were in

974
01:09:02.399 --> 01:09:05.159
trouble, not doing what you were
supposed to do when you were supposed to

975
01:09:05.159 --> 01:09:09.800
do it. He'd whip out those
pliers and he could throw them, you

976
01:09:09.920 --> 01:09:13.319
know, thirty forty feet and crack
you in the head with them. That

977
01:09:13.640 --> 01:09:16.119
is how he handled stuff. Think
about that, man, that's some tough

978
01:09:16.199 --> 01:09:19.119
stuff. I used to get spanked. Did you ever get spank Stephanie?

979
01:09:19.199 --> 01:09:24.840
Oh yeah, did you? I
did? Not a lot? Frank absolutely,

980
01:09:25.199 --> 01:09:28.439
yeah. It's amazing. Kids.
Now, we didn't spank our kids

981
01:09:28.520 --> 01:09:32.279
maybe once or twice, and I'll
tell you why, because we learned electronic

982
01:09:33.079 --> 01:09:40.520
being grounded from Xbox or phones was
way better and it worked a lot longer,

983
01:09:40.600 --> 01:09:43.159
so it was good. All right, everybody, hang on, We've

1004
01:11:27.920 --> 01:11:30.760
It's kind of a show within its
show. Now Paul the Waterman,

1005
01:11:30.840 --> 01:11:35.000
by the way, the best for
less You realize we got a whole house

1006
01:11:35.079 --> 01:11:40.920
softener from him, and it was
about it wasn't quite half ours cost.

1007
01:11:41.000 --> 01:11:45.640
I think it was thirty five hundred
bucks, and we had not only the

1008
01:11:45.680 --> 01:11:49.560
whole house water softener, but we
had additional filtration. Our water softener was

1009
01:11:49.680 --> 01:11:53.560
under two grand. And I forget
what that additional thing was called, but

1010
01:11:53.640 --> 01:11:57.079
it's got something to do with the
corrosion we have from our well water.

1011
01:11:57.159 --> 01:11:59.800
It's supposed to like, I don't
even know what it's called. I should

1012
01:11:59.800 --> 01:12:02.640
ask Paul what that is. But
regardless, we got quotes after he gave

1013
01:12:02.720 --> 01:12:09.439
us a quote on the same systems
double double or well almost double, like

1014
01:12:09.560 --> 01:12:13.079
ninety five percent higher. It was
crazy. We spent thirty five hundred.

1015
01:12:13.439 --> 01:12:16.600
We had other estimates at like sixty
seven and sixty eight hundred dollars. That's

1016
01:12:16.640 --> 01:12:20.199
why we say the best for less. The warranties are great. Paul himself

1017
01:12:20.359 --> 01:12:25.800
is actually a licensed plumber. It's
a great company to deal with if you

1018
01:12:25.880 --> 01:12:30.640
need that water softener or under the
sink ultrafiltration systems, so you got that

1019
01:12:30.760 --> 01:12:34.640
pure drinking water, and they've got
systems that can get rid of those poisonous

1020
01:12:34.680 --> 01:12:41.680
forever chemicals. They have it all
Waterpros dot Net Waterpros dot netwaterpros dot net

1021
01:12:42.439 --> 01:12:47.800
Now Stephanie Thomas. She's a realtor
and good friend in the Pike's Peak region.

1022
01:12:47.960 --> 01:12:53.439
If you're looking for something in Colorado
Springs Woodland Park, where how far

1023
01:12:53.600 --> 01:12:57.479
do you go south? I have
done a little bit in the Pueblo area,

1024
01:12:58.720 --> 01:13:02.560
not terribly south, blow more like
Pueblo West. Is Pueblo a tough

1025
01:13:03.279 --> 01:13:06.000
Is it a tough area to sell? We get a lot of calls up

1026
01:13:06.039 --> 01:13:12.439
there or from Pueblo, and none
of them seem good. I guess what

1027
01:13:12.520 --> 01:13:15.000
I'm saying, is is it a
bad area, Stephanie? Is it like

1028
01:13:15.159 --> 01:13:18.720
drug infested? I'll ask it,
and I realize you want people calling you,

1029
01:13:18.840 --> 01:13:21.199
so it's I don't care. I'll
still put you on the spot.

1030
01:13:21.560 --> 01:13:25.600
Compared to Colorado Springs? Is it
a hell hole? Let's just say what

1031
01:13:25.720 --> 01:13:29.239
it is? You know, you
know I can't answer that question. I

1032
01:13:29.319 --> 01:13:31.239
can't give my personal opinions on this
that are the next right. I will

1033
01:13:31.319 --> 01:13:35.640
say, there's definitely everybody's cup of
tea Pueblo may not. Is it a

1034
01:13:35.680 --> 01:13:39.880
lot cheaper in Pueblo? Yes,
you can definitely get a lot more home.

1035
01:13:39.920 --> 01:13:42.840
You can. You can definitely get
some lower price properties out in Pueblo.

1036
01:13:42.920 --> 01:13:45.079
And that's not necessarily you know,
Oh, that's not a bad thing

1037
01:13:45.239 --> 01:13:48.039
thing at all. Yeah, I've
some people get homes out there that we

1038
01:13:48.079 --> 01:13:51.119
wouldn't have been able to touch in
like the Colorado Springs market. What is

1039
01:13:51.239 --> 01:13:56.920
the most expensive area in the Pike's
Peak. I'm guessing it's around I always

1040
01:13:56.960 --> 01:14:00.199
want to call it to Gaylord,
but it's the broad the Rotten warn't so.

1041
01:14:00.560 --> 01:14:02.640
And I've been up there. In
fact, you and Mike and myself

1042
01:14:02.680 --> 01:14:06.560
and Suzanne went to a beer festival
up there right by there. The homes

1043
01:14:06.600 --> 01:14:12.479
are absolutely stunning. Yes, Broad
Moore's definitely a higher priced area. I

1044
01:14:12.479 --> 01:14:16.680
wouldn't necessarily the highest. There's definitely
how much is that out there? Let's

1045
01:14:16.680 --> 01:14:20.840
say around the broad More your average
home, you're easily going to go north

1046
01:14:20.920 --> 01:14:26.640
to seven fifty, you know,
depending on the home's wor's a one five

1047
01:14:26.800 --> 01:14:29.159
two million dollar home. You can
have some of that out in the broad

1048
01:14:29.159 --> 01:14:30.760
More area too. I've seen some
homes out there that have a little bit

1049
01:14:30.800 --> 01:14:34.199
of anchorage that what are you were
you going to say? There's some areas

1050
01:14:34.239 --> 01:14:39.680
in the north part of Colorado Springs
too, out on the west side kind

1051
01:14:39.720 --> 01:14:44.800
of in the foothills. You'll definitely
see some where you live, like Woodland

1052
01:14:44.880 --> 01:14:48.039
Park. Yes, that's a nice
area. You definitely will see some homes

1053
01:14:48.079 --> 01:14:53.479
start exceeding their median price or average
price up in Woodland Park is quite a

1054
01:14:53.520 --> 01:14:56.399
bit higher, even than the Springs. I mean, you're you're over six

1055
01:14:56.640 --> 01:14:59.720
six forty six forty five and that's
a media. Yes, yeah, that's

1056
01:14:59.720 --> 01:15:02.000
where it averages up in Woodland Park. There we had that. You remember

1057
01:15:02.079 --> 01:15:05.840
years ago, I had that mountain
house up across from where you guys are

1058
01:15:05.920 --> 01:15:11.720
in West Creek. The fire killed
it. Man, every home burnt down

1059
01:15:11.840 --> 01:15:15.239
except for three. Yeah, it
was nuts, man, And I'm talking

1060
01:15:15.319 --> 01:15:17.239
in our little area. There was
the Hayman fire that laid out We can

1061
01:15:17.319 --> 01:15:20.960
see burn scar. She was burning
up a deer Jane letter and she was

1062
01:15:21.039 --> 01:15:28.119
a firefighter or something. A fire
recall lit the whole place agent. So

1063
01:15:28.279 --> 01:15:30.840
she burned it up. So our
house we had a metal roof, and

1064
01:15:31.119 --> 01:15:34.680
it did not go up right across
the street, gone behind us, gone

1065
01:15:34.840 --> 01:15:39.840
across the road, gone up the
road, gone, everything gone. Worst

1066
01:15:39.880 --> 01:15:43.199
thing that could ever happen. Thank
god, it was just a weekend house.

1067
01:15:43.640 --> 01:15:46.239
Because it sucked. Man, the
value went down. It was in

1068
01:15:46.319 --> 01:15:50.399
a burnout area, every tree gone. It looked like it was the only

1069
01:15:50.479 --> 01:15:54.680
structure and it just killed it.
It killed it. In fact, that

1070
01:15:54.880 --> 01:15:58.239
area still looks like hell, doesn't
it. Yeah, there's there's still quite

1071
01:15:58.279 --> 01:16:00.439
a scar and when it rains,
are man, they got flooding issues.

1072
01:16:01.279 --> 01:16:06.039
Definitely you're starting to see some vegetation
come back, which definitely don't have the

1073
01:16:06.159 --> 01:16:09.720
thick forest up there yet. All
right, Frank Duran, the real estate

1074
01:16:09.800 --> 01:16:12.439
man, let's talk Denver real quick. I promise folks, I'll get to

1075
01:16:12.520 --> 01:16:15.960
the phone. I can hear the
people on YouTube just yelling. Get to

1076
01:16:15.000 --> 01:16:17.399
the calls. I will. We
got a call for Excel. We got

1077
01:16:17.439 --> 01:16:20.880
a problem with roaches in an apartment. We have a question on insurance.

1078
01:16:20.920 --> 01:16:26.760
We got one line open. But
Frank Duran, let's talk on the same

1079
01:16:26.840 --> 01:16:30.840
ideas. So Cherry Hill's most expensive
Denver metro like where John Elway. Isn't

1080
01:16:30.840 --> 01:16:33.960
that where he lived years ago?
Or Peyton Manning? Yeah that's up there,

1081
01:16:34.000 --> 01:16:36.279
Mark for sure. Look what are
we talking over there? It's right

1082
01:16:36.319 --> 01:16:40.279
down the road. I mean we
talk in five million, ten million?

1083
01:16:40.319 --> 01:16:43.439
I mean what are we talk You
know what I've read somewhere I want to

1084
01:16:43.479 --> 01:16:46.520
say it was Russell Wilson's home was
like around twenty five million. God,

1085
01:16:46.680 --> 01:16:51.560
that's unbelievable. Yeah, twenty five
million. He couldn't even play ball.

1086
01:16:54.000 --> 01:16:57.520
How does he get all that?
That's a whole different story. But twenty

1087
01:16:57.720 --> 01:17:00.279
five million? Did it sell for
that? I'm not sure if it closed

1088
01:17:00.359 --> 01:17:02.439
yet. I thought they did have
a buyer. I could be wrong.

1089
01:17:02.760 --> 01:17:05.760
Uh, but that's right. I
read that. God, I always say

1090
01:17:05.960 --> 01:17:10.359
I think I'm doing good in life. I always say it, I think

1091
01:17:10.439 --> 01:17:13.439
I'm doing good, and I'm not
saying I'm not. But then you hear

1092
01:17:13.520 --> 01:17:17.239
of a guy that's got a twenty
five million dollar house, twenty five isn't

1093
01:17:17.239 --> 01:17:23.159
it. Then you hear these places, these penhouses like in Manhattan. Ye,

1094
01:17:23.319 --> 01:17:27.199
that are two hundred million dollars.
Yeah, yeah, two hundred million.

1095
01:17:27.279 --> 01:17:30.319
That's phenomenal. Imagine what your HOA
fees are each month. I mean,

1096
01:17:30.439 --> 01:17:35.720
honestly, you remember Tom's place over
here in a landmark because Tom had

1097
01:17:35.760 --> 01:17:39.640
a he had a nice penhouse.
Yeah. In fact, didn't you guys

1098
01:17:39.760 --> 01:17:44.960
break the record when you sold it? We had it for a long time

1099
01:17:45.119 --> 01:17:46.319
for that size of unit over there. Yeah, we have, But no,

1100
01:17:46.840 --> 01:17:49.920
I mean you broke a record.
Oh you okay, since then it's

1101
01:17:49.960 --> 01:17:53.159
been broke. Yeah, I'm sure
it has. But but they sold it

1102
01:17:53.239 --> 01:17:56.600
for more than any other unit over
in either of the towers. So that

1103
01:17:56.720 --> 01:17:59.840
size of you yeah, for that
model. Yeah, so and I remember

1104
01:18:00.119 --> 01:18:03.239
is hoa holy moly. I'm not
going to say it, but per month

1105
01:18:03.319 --> 01:18:06.359
you go, my god, that's
a mortgage payment. Even if you own

1106
01:18:06.439 --> 01:18:10.880
it outright and don't have a mortgage
payment, you put in the fees and

1107
01:18:11.000 --> 01:18:15.239
stuff. Oh well, that place
Mark was like walking in a luxury hotel.

1108
01:18:15.319 --> 01:18:17.640
And then when we did the virtual
concierge service, Oh the concierge.

1109
01:18:17.680 --> 01:18:19.840
That was incredible. The concier there
were so nice about it too. We

1110
01:18:19.880 --> 01:18:24.239
did a virtual tour. The person
that answers the door or opens the door

1111
01:18:24.319 --> 01:18:26.760
for you. Yeah, he was
part of our video opening the door roll

1112
01:18:26.840 --> 01:18:29.760
politely for the video. Oh and
they do it every day. Oh yeah,

1113
01:18:29.800 --> 01:18:31.880
it was amazing. So bring your
groceries up. Yeah, it's a

1114
01:18:32.119 --> 01:18:36.399
really nice place, all right.
Anyhow three O three seven one three A

1115
01:18:36.520 --> 01:18:40.960
two five five. By the way, deputy bow when we talk deputies,

1116
01:18:41.000 --> 01:18:43.520
if you're new to the show,
what we do is we solve problems.

1117
01:18:43.800 --> 01:18:45.600
I might assign him to something that
we're going to talk about here. But

1118
01:18:45.680 --> 01:18:49.399
he's new to the team and I
want to welcome you. Last time you

1119
01:18:49.479 --> 01:18:53.680
were here, I was working on
five hundred things. I didn't get that

1120
01:18:54.520 --> 01:18:57.520
much time to talk to you.
What is your background, man? What

1121
01:18:57.720 --> 01:19:00.079
brings you to us? Real quick? Well, thank you for the introduction.

1122
01:19:00.439 --> 01:19:06.439
Yeah, I've been in the HVAC
supply business. That's last forty fifty

1123
01:19:06.520 --> 01:19:10.279
years. Okay, you know what, Deputy Bow I want to ask you

1124
01:19:10.399 --> 01:19:15.359
this. Then let's go back ten
years. Were you selling, installing,

1125
01:19:15.600 --> 01:19:21.680
or doing both of furnaces? We
stick you whole. Nineteen thirty nine.

1126
01:19:23.520 --> 01:19:29.079
We started out doing service and installation, and in the late nineties we decided

1127
01:19:29.119 --> 01:19:32.880
to go more into the parts wholesale
business, where we would sell parts and

1128
01:19:33.039 --> 01:19:39.840
rebuild full units or what units and
the parts? Okay, so ten years

1129
01:19:39.880 --> 01:19:44.960
ago, how much was a furnace
wholesale installed? No, just if I

1130
01:19:45.039 --> 01:19:49.359
wanted to buy a furnace, Yeah, furnace ten years ago, we'd be

1131
01:19:49.439 --> 01:19:54.680
around six hundred dollars, that's what
I thought. Installed. Ten years ago,

1132
01:19:55.319 --> 01:19:59.520
installed, we were getting about well, my competitors were getting about the

1133
01:20:00.479 --> 01:20:04.079
thirty nine hundred, forty five hundred. What were you charging or you were

1134
01:20:04.159 --> 01:20:08.520
just wholesaling. We did a little
of both, but then we committed strictly

1135
01:20:08.600 --> 01:20:13.119
to wholesale. Okay, So what
do you think a furnace wholesale costs today?

1136
01:20:13.399 --> 01:20:16.680
We know ten years ago twenty fourteen, you're saying the costs around six

1137
01:20:16.800 --> 01:20:20.600
hundred bucks just the part, no
installation. What's the furnace cost right now?

1138
01:20:21.159 --> 01:20:25.479
The same thing? Eighty percent?
Whatever apples to apples. Yeah,

1139
01:20:25.600 --> 01:20:29.680
the new ones have different type of
nine nice speed motors. Yeah, but

1140
01:20:29.760 --> 01:20:31.560
they have to have some of that
stuff. I'm still talking the plane,

1141
01:20:31.720 --> 01:20:36.039
Jane, the goodman, the builder
grade. Seriously, how much the good

1142
01:20:36.079 --> 01:20:42.520
ones twelve fourteen hundred dollars? So
they've doubled in ten years. Isn't it

1143
01:20:42.600 --> 01:20:47.680
amazing that a new furnace installed in
your house now by most larger HVAC companies

1144
01:20:47.720 --> 01:20:49.920
and I don't care who they are, and they all do a great job

1145
01:20:49.960 --> 01:20:55.279
when it comes to service. Is
how much ten grand, ten fourteen thousand

1146
01:20:55.279 --> 01:21:00.279
dollars in install it? Here's where
I'm going with that. I don't know

1147
01:21:00.319 --> 01:21:03.239
how the industry did that. It's
it's quite amazing, actually, is the

1148
01:21:03.399 --> 01:21:08.399
businessman in me he says, Wow, that's amazing. It's almost like the

1149
01:21:08.640 --> 01:21:16.800
entire the entire how do you put
this, the entirety of the I'm at

1150
01:21:16.840 --> 01:21:19.319
a lack I believe it or not. I'm at a loss for words.

1151
01:21:19.760 --> 01:21:28.840
But the entire group of people got
together and set the pricing. Okay,

1152
01:21:29.239 --> 01:21:31.920
and there's people out there I'm pissing
off right now, But it's so much

1153
01:21:32.119 --> 01:21:36.800
like that, because think about that. You buy a furnace wholesale for fifteen

1154
01:21:36.920 --> 01:21:41.840
hundred bucks or whatever you just said, and it's ten thousand dollars to install

1155
01:21:41.920 --> 01:21:45.279
it. It's amazing to me.
Well, Mark back fifteen years ago,

1156
01:21:45.800 --> 01:21:50.119
technician was probably making eighteen twenty dollars
an hour. Now for a good technician

1157
01:21:50.800 --> 01:21:55.520
him about sixty dollars an hour.
And you almost need to be having an

1158
01:21:55.520 --> 01:21:58.720
electrical engineering degree to work on this. Well, not only that, think

1159
01:21:59.119 --> 01:22:01.279
not only that thing, the permitting
and the other stuff. Think of just

1160
01:22:01.439 --> 01:22:04.840
the cost of insurance. We all
people that have homes and cars. Have

1161
01:22:04.960 --> 01:22:09.520
you ever had your insurance go down? Hell? No, Imagine a company

1162
01:22:09.640 --> 01:22:14.439
running one hundred employees, one hundred
trucks. You start factoring in the gasoline,

1163
01:22:14.479 --> 01:22:17.359
which is way up from fifteen years
ago, thanks Biden and everything else

1164
01:22:17.399 --> 01:22:20.399
in the world. Seriously, So
I get that part of it, but

1165
01:22:20.520 --> 01:22:26.119
it's still amazing to me that a
furnace can be ten thousand dollars. Now,

1166
01:22:26.199 --> 01:22:30.000
it's amazing as it is. They're
doing good. The good HVAC companies

1167
01:22:30.000 --> 01:22:31.680
are I think, very good business
right now? All right, Frank,

1168
01:22:31.760 --> 01:22:35.720
what's going on with Excel Energy?
Actually, Frank, I am so sorry.

1169
01:22:36.239 --> 01:22:40.399
I am going to put you on
hold because Lisa's been holding longer.

1170
01:22:40.720 --> 01:22:43.520
I promise Frank, you'll be up. Hey, Lisa, what's going on

1171
01:22:43.680 --> 01:22:48.439
with this apartment? So? I've
been here about six months, but I

1172
01:22:48.520 --> 01:22:54.399
mean as soon as I've moved my
items in or whatever, I started seeing

1173
01:22:54.439 --> 01:22:57.119
them, so I let the office
know. So they've been out here I

1174
01:22:57.199 --> 01:23:01.439
want to say, eight times and
had different companies spray. I've even bombed.

1175
01:23:03.560 --> 01:23:06.119
But are they coming from? Where
do you think they're coming from?

1176
01:23:06.199 --> 01:23:10.079
I mean, if I go into
your apartment and it's just been bombed and

1177
01:23:11.119 --> 01:23:14.720
you know, numerous different times,
there shouldn't be any roaches there. So

1178
01:23:15.199 --> 01:23:18.239
the question is are they coming from
a neighbor's house that's a complete mess or

1179
01:23:18.279 --> 01:23:21.640
what I mean? I don't know, That's what I'm saying, if they're

1180
01:23:21.720 --> 01:23:26.800
gonna spray just me, or are
they spraying other neighbors or I don't I

1181
01:23:26.880 --> 01:23:30.520
mean, I don't know how they're
how they're doing it, or you know,

1182
01:23:30.640 --> 01:23:32.119
they've came in and inspected to see
if I keep it clean, which

1183
01:23:32.159 --> 01:23:34.920
I do. I mean, I
just don't know. Is it spotless if

1184
01:23:34.960 --> 01:23:40.199
I walked into your house when I
think it's clean, Yeah, I mean

1185
01:23:40.399 --> 01:23:44.760
it's where are you seeing the roaches
on the floor in the cabinets? Where

1186
01:23:44.760 --> 01:23:48.239
are you seeing them? So they're
on the kitchen counters, they're on the

1201
01:25:04.359 --> 01:25:09.720
the break to Deputy Bow and Deputy
Bow get on that mic. You actually

1202
01:25:09.760 --> 01:25:14.199
owned some apartment complexes and Lisa called
up, and of course Lisa's got problem

1203
01:25:14.239 --> 01:25:17.039
with roaches. Apparently they bombed the
apartment. They've done all kinds of things.

1204
01:25:17.199 --> 01:25:23.359
How many times have they gone in
and actually bombed at Lisa so they

1205
01:25:23.520 --> 01:25:26.720
know they they came and sprayed like
over eight times. I'm the one that

1206
01:25:26.800 --> 01:25:30.039
went and purchased my own bombs and
then I bombed it because oh Ray wasn't

1207
01:25:30.079 --> 01:25:36.720
working, because I mean they just
kept switching companies in it. Just whatever

1208
01:25:36.760 --> 01:25:40.560
they were doing wasn't working. And
like I said, my grandkids come on

1209
01:25:40.640 --> 01:25:44.239
the weekend. I told the office
you know, do you want like if

1210
01:25:44.279 --> 01:25:48.079
I walked in there right now,
is there roaches right now? I mean

1211
01:25:48.159 --> 01:25:50.920
they're not. I just killed two
on the counter. I mean, so

1212
01:25:50.960 --> 01:25:54.359
they're not like, yeah, I
got you at this moment. No,

1213
01:25:54.479 --> 01:26:00.560
but they don't. I mean I
when you had your apartment complex, Deputy

1214
01:26:00.640 --> 01:26:05.680
Bow, did you have road problems? Yes, we had, we had

1215
01:26:05.760 --> 01:26:09.520
some. And I have a question. How many how many units is this

1216
01:26:09.640 --> 01:26:15.039
apartment building? I don't there's quite
a few. There's like three levels.

1217
01:26:15.159 --> 01:26:19.119
I mean there's it's pretty big.
I mean like one hundred's like fifty units

1218
01:26:19.279 --> 01:26:23.560
at least one hundred. Yeah,
No, there's Yeah, there's probably fifty

1219
01:26:23.720 --> 01:26:27.159
hundred. There's a there's a bunch
of trash out there. I mean that's

1220
01:26:28.199 --> 01:26:32.920
probably the biggest problem they have is
that their their trust is stays piled up.

1221
01:26:32.960 --> 01:26:36.079
So I don't know whenever they contact
the company that can you get out

1222
01:26:36.119 --> 01:26:39.920
of their least are you on section
eight or anything? Or can you get

1223
01:26:39.960 --> 01:26:43.600
out of your if we could help
you get out of the lease, would

1224
01:26:43.640 --> 01:26:45.840
that help you? Well, that's
what I'm saying. I had put all

1225
01:26:45.920 --> 01:26:50.079
my money to get into this apartment
because I just went through a domestic situation.

1226
01:26:50.279 --> 01:26:54.039
So I sold my home, which
we didn't you know, we just

1227
01:26:54.079 --> 01:26:56.840
paid off the mortgage company, so
it wasn't like I had extra money.

1228
01:26:56.880 --> 01:27:00.000
It came into this apartment. I
mean, I really don't have the money

1229
01:27:00.079 --> 01:27:02.800
need to go out and another apartment, you know what I mean. I

1230
01:27:02.880 --> 01:27:09.000
don't know how we can pressure it
sounds like an apartment complex with What really

1231
01:27:09.159 --> 01:27:14.319
is concerning is the fact and I
can picture it. The dumpster just overrun.

1232
01:27:14.880 --> 01:27:17.239
I mean, if they can't even
get to trash picked up enough times

1233
01:27:17.279 --> 01:27:20.680
to where that doesn't happen, I
don't know how. I don't know if

1234
01:27:20.720 --> 01:27:25.560
they have the ability, or the
money or even want to get rid of

1235
01:27:25.640 --> 01:27:29.760
the infestation. What your deputy,
bow, what are your thoughts? Yes,

1236
01:27:30.760 --> 01:27:33.960
by bombing or spraying your individual apartment, you'll never get rid of them.

1237
01:27:34.439 --> 01:27:42.039
The key to get ridding, get
riding of roaches, yeah, is

1238
01:27:42.359 --> 01:27:45.399
you have to talk to your property
manager whoever, or the owner of the

1239
01:27:45.479 --> 01:27:48.680
property, and you have to go
in and say we need every unit,

1240
01:27:48.760 --> 01:27:53.960
whether it's twenty units or one hundred
units, every unit has to be sprayed.

1241
01:27:54.119 --> 01:27:57.479
Do your neighbors have all the same
problems? Are they complaining as well?

1242
01:27:58.079 --> 01:28:00.399
Well, that's what I'm saying,
I don't really know the neighbors.

1243
01:28:00.439 --> 01:28:01.640
I mean, they're not real friendly. Like the one right here, I

1244
01:28:01.720 --> 01:28:05.720
don't know the one below. The
grand kid plays with one over on the

1245
01:28:05.800 --> 01:28:11.279
other end. So I don't really
know where it's coming from or what problems

1246
01:28:11.319 --> 01:28:14.439
they are are not having, you
know what I mean. Yeah, I'm

1247
01:28:14.439 --> 01:28:15.920
saying. I mean, like you
said, for me to spray mine,

1248
01:28:16.520 --> 01:28:19.720
and then wherever they're coming from,
they're just going to keep coming. That

1249
01:28:19.800 --> 01:28:24.520
won't help. Can you talk to
the property manager or owner of the apartment

1250
01:28:24.560 --> 01:28:28.079
building? Yeah? Have you reached
out to the manager? Yeah, that's

1251
01:28:28.119 --> 01:28:30.079
why I said. I've been in
the office either, and they just yeah,

1252
01:28:30.239 --> 01:28:33.319
she has, and they just keep
sending someone out to spray, sending

1253
01:28:33.800 --> 01:28:36.199
you know, I'm going to spray. So they sprayed every week. Like

1254
01:28:36.279 --> 01:28:39.680
I told you, I've been here
six months and they sprayed every week.

1255
01:28:39.840 --> 01:28:43.119
Oh my god, did they spray
every apartment? No, they don't.

1256
01:28:43.279 --> 01:28:46.039
Well she doesn't know. I mean
I'm at work, so I don't know.

1257
01:28:46.720 --> 01:28:49.199
I mean, I'm assuming that would
be their best folk. Let's do

1258
01:28:49.319 --> 01:28:51.960
this, s Deputy boat, that
they would spray up and down. Why

1259
01:28:53.000 --> 01:28:56.560
don't you reach out? Why don't
you reach out to the property manager.

1260
01:28:56.600 --> 01:28:59.680
I will. I'll call the manager
or the owner and ask them point blank.

1261
01:29:00.039 --> 01:29:01.279
Yeah, let's see what's going on, Lisa, And then if they

1262
01:29:01.319 --> 01:29:05.279
don't want to do anything about it, maybe we can start putting the word

1263
01:29:05.359 --> 01:29:08.680
out there. If you live there, and really i'd like to hear.

1264
01:29:08.800 --> 01:29:12.640
Now, if you do live there, what's it called again? To Scana

1265
01:29:13.079 --> 01:29:16.239
tuscona down off Sheridan. I believe
you said. If you do live there

1266
01:29:16.319 --> 01:29:20.479
and have bus and the thirty six
right highway thirty six is right here,

1267
01:29:20.640 --> 01:29:25.119
Yeah, I got you. If
you do live there, reach out to

1268
01:29:25.239 --> 01:29:28.199
us at help at troubleshooter dot com. But Deputy Bow call over there.

1269
01:29:28.479 --> 01:29:31.920
Let's just see if we can't rattle
some chains. I will and maybe do

1270
01:29:32.119 --> 01:29:35.479
something. Hey, go ahead,
least not pay my rent? Correct?

1271
01:29:35.600 --> 01:29:38.880
Is that correct? That was my
other question? No, my god,

1272
01:29:39.000 --> 01:29:41.600
do not no no no, no
no no no, Lisa, you're making

1273
01:29:41.720 --> 01:29:45.279
me. You're making me a scared
No. You can't withhold rent. If

1274
01:29:45.359 --> 01:29:49.479
you withheld rent, so then I
I just have to li with the bugs.

1275
01:29:49.479 --> 01:29:51.720
That's what I'm saying, Lisa.
We're gonna call over there and see

1276
01:29:51.760 --> 01:29:55.239
what we can do. But if
you withhold the rent, you're going to

1277
01:29:55.279 --> 01:29:59.079
get yourself in eviction. That's what
you're going to do. Right, So

1278
01:29:59.119 --> 01:30:00.920
I've been paying the rent. You
know what I mean. I know exactly

1279
01:30:01.039 --> 01:30:03.680
what you mean. You asked,
should I pay your rent? Yes,

1280
01:30:04.039 --> 01:30:06.520
if you don't want to get evicted, yes, you need to pay your

1281
01:30:06.560 --> 01:30:14.119
rent. But yeah, I,
like you said, I just have to

1282
01:30:14.199 --> 01:30:15.680
deal with this and so I can
get out of my lease. You,

1283
01:30:15.880 --> 01:30:21.960
well, we can help you do
what I refer to as a self eviction.

1284
01:30:23.319 --> 01:30:28.359
Okay, we can help you evict
yourself to where they can't damage your

1285
01:30:28.439 --> 01:30:31.239
credit or come after you. That
is one way of looking at this.

1286
01:30:31.520 --> 01:30:35.079
But when I asked you, why
don't you move, you said you didn't

1287
01:30:35.199 --> 01:30:40.479
have the money really to move.
So I didn't even realize at this point

1288
01:30:40.960 --> 01:30:45.159
that's an option. Oh, I
see what you're saying. Yeah, I

1289
01:30:45.319 --> 01:30:48.319
understand. That's what I'm saying,
because I've put if we could get you,

1290
01:30:49.000 --> 01:30:55.840
if we could get you a self
help eviction, if you will and

1291
01:30:56.000 --> 01:30:59.920
help you through it, do you
have money to go to another place?

1292
01:31:00.279 --> 01:31:02.920
Is what it comes down to,
though. Yeah, that's what I would

1293
01:31:02.960 --> 01:31:05.000
That's what I'm saying. I would
have to say for that. In the

1294
01:31:05.079 --> 01:31:08.520
meantime, I had two jobs and
now I just have the one job.

1295
01:31:08.560 --> 01:31:12.399
So I mean, I'm going through
a lot of things that I I really

1296
01:31:12.479 --> 01:31:15.079
can't deal with the self eviction.
Where am I going to go? You

1297
01:31:15.159 --> 01:31:16.560
know what I mean? Yeah,
Well, I mean that's it. If

1298
01:31:16.600 --> 01:31:20.159
you can find another place, we
could definitely help you out with that.

1299
01:31:21.760 --> 01:31:25.920
There is legal ways to do it, but you can't just withhold rent.

1300
01:31:26.239 --> 01:31:30.720
There are times I've been saying there
are times you can, but you have

1301
01:31:30.920 --> 01:31:33.319
to do it in a certain way
or else it's not going to matter and

1302
01:31:33.359 --> 01:31:36.159
you're going to find yourself in trouble. So here's what we're gonna do.

1303
01:31:36.199 --> 01:31:40.000
I'm gonna put her on hold,
Kelly, make sure we have information.

1304
01:31:40.520 --> 01:31:44.199
Deputy Bo's going to reach out to
you. You can give him the info

1305
01:31:44.439 --> 01:31:46.920
on the manager. Let's let him
call over there, talk to him and

1306
01:31:47.039 --> 01:31:49.319
see if we can't figure something out. You know, we get a lot

1307
01:31:49.359 --> 01:31:53.880
of these calls and I feel bad. I don't know what we can do.

1308
01:31:54.000 --> 01:31:57.479
I'm not gonna say we can get
this solved by any means, but

1309
01:31:57.680 --> 01:32:01.000
at least we can do is rattle
their chains and maybe find out who the

1310
01:32:01.079 --> 01:32:05.119
landlord is like, find out who
actually owns that building. My guess is

1311
01:32:05.199 --> 01:32:11.359
it's some big conglomerate that has places
everywhere. But maybe we'd get lucky and

1312
01:32:11.439 --> 01:32:14.199
it's owned by an individual that gives
a crap. I mean, I don't

1313
01:32:14.239 --> 01:32:16.560
know, but it would suck to
have roaches, it really would. And

1314
01:32:16.760 --> 01:32:20.239
she said every week I start thinking, man, I wonder if this poor

1315
01:32:20.359 --> 01:32:26.159
lady is going to get sick because
they are spraying every week, you know,

1316
01:32:26.640 --> 01:32:29.680
I mean, that's a lot of
spraying. Now, Dave has got

1317
01:32:29.760 --> 01:32:33.640
a question on car insurance. Kevin
has an issue with a utility easement.

1318
01:32:34.159 --> 01:32:39.239
Frank's got a problem with Excel Energy. I'm interested in what that is.

1319

Dragon, if you could do me
a favor and kind of capture that

1350
01:34:55.600 --> 01:34:59.680
so I can play that occasionally when
my partner's in Dave, what's your question

1351
01:34:59.760 --> 01:35:03.560
on our insurance? Okay, my
wife was in an accident. She was

1352
01:35:03.640 --> 01:35:09.880
rear ended. She drives the twenty
seventeen super Forrester, okay, and it

1353
01:35:10.000 --> 01:35:15.800
was hit in the right rear quarter
panel bumper area, and it was a

1354
01:35:15.920 --> 01:35:18.159
larger vehicle, it was like a
full size pickup to hit her. Okay.

1355
01:35:19.000 --> 01:35:24.760
It took three weeks for their The
other person was his fault, and

1356
01:35:24.920 --> 01:35:29.560
luckily there was the cop right behind
him, so we got everything documented.

1357
01:35:29.960 --> 01:35:31.399
Yeah, that's great, so we
know that they were at fault, but

1358
01:35:31.520 --> 01:35:36.880
you were saying it took three weeks
for what for the adjuster their adjuster to

1359
01:35:36.960 --> 01:35:43.279
look at the car? Okay?
What insurance company did they have? I'm

1360
01:35:43.359 --> 01:35:45.319
not one hundred percent sure on that, so I don't want to I don't

1361
01:35:45.359 --> 01:35:48.800
want to spetch you. Okay,
So what's the deal there? Their adjuster

1362
01:35:49.039 --> 01:35:54.000
said it, and now what Okay? We just got the estimate this morning

1363
01:35:54.039 --> 01:35:58.399
and I haven't looked at the numbers
eye yet. What I'm curious about is

1364
01:35:59.720 --> 01:36:04.279
they went to a collision center that
I'm not real fond of. Yeah,

1365
01:36:05.000 --> 01:36:08.399
you don't have to use them.
You can use whoever you want, man.

1366
01:36:09.119 --> 01:36:11.920
Okay. So I'm set up in
two weeks, I'm going to have

1367
01:36:12.000 --> 01:36:15.800
it looked at by a different body
shop. What I'm curious is about,

1368
01:36:16.399 --> 01:36:21.239
is it some way I can tell
or have somebody tell me whether there's frame

1369
01:36:21.399 --> 01:36:25.960
damaged under the vehicle? Any good
body shop is going to do that,

1370
01:36:26.199 --> 01:36:30.560
I mean any good body shop?
Yeah? Absolutely, man. The other

1371
01:36:30.640 --> 01:36:34.760
thing you got to think about what
year did you say it was twenty seventeen,

1372
01:36:35.000 --> 01:36:38.800
and did it have any accidents prior
to this? Or you the first

1373
01:36:38.880 --> 01:36:43.960
owner or do you know the carfax
on it. My wife actually bought it

1374
01:36:44.079 --> 01:36:47.600
from enterprise. Okay, did you
ever pull a carfax on it? Though?

1375
01:36:48.880 --> 01:36:51.600
No? Hold on, let me
take this break. I want to

1376
01:36:51.640 --> 01:36:56.359
tell you something that you're going to
have to do in order to be made

whole. And I'm not talking about
just the proper repairs, something else.

home Innovations dot com. Now very
important. I want to go back to

1404
01:38:56.119 --> 01:39:00.159
Dave. Dave got rear ended,
his wife did and they have some damage

1405
01:39:00.199 --> 01:39:04.520
on their vehicle to twenty seventeen,
and they bought it from You said you

1406
01:39:04.600 --> 01:39:08.640
bought it from a rental car company, right, Hertz or Avis or somebody.

1407
01:39:09.279 --> 01:39:13.039
Yeah, it was a enterprise.
Yeah, I'd be curious if there

1408
01:39:13.199 --> 01:39:16.800
was any damage on there. And
it doesn't really matter because every accident that's

1409
01:39:16.920 --> 01:39:20.199
not your fault, and I'll explain
that in a second, creates another problem.

1410
01:39:20.279 --> 01:39:23.640
Not only do you have to deal
with the damage, but if I'm

1411
01:39:23.680 --> 01:39:26.760
going to buy a car, and
Stephanie has got a car for sale,

1412
01:39:27.560 --> 01:39:32.039
a twenty twenty BMW something something,
and Frank has that same twenty twenty BMW

1413
01:39:32.279 --> 01:39:36.720
something something for sale, they have
identical mileage, identical color. One of

1414
01:39:36.760 --> 01:39:42.239
them has an accident on the carfax, but it's been fixed perfectly. Let's

1415
01:39:42.239 --> 01:39:45.760
say Frank's had an accident and he
brought it to the best body shop in

1416
01:39:45.840 --> 01:39:48.479
the entire world, and you could
never tell it was ever wrecked, and

1417
01:39:48.560 --> 01:39:53.279
it's perfect still, just like Stephanie's
that has never been in an accident.

1418
01:39:54.239 --> 01:39:57.279
When I pull a car fax,
I'm going to most likely see that accident

1419
01:39:57.359 --> 01:40:01.079
on Frank's. So that creates what
we call the mini value. So his

1420
01:40:01.319 --> 01:40:04.800
car, even though it was fixed
perfectly, and it's a strange concept,

1421
01:40:05.239 --> 01:40:10.479
is worth less than Stephanie's that's not
been in an accident. And I think

1422
01:40:10.560 --> 01:40:14.520
we all know this now. It's
called diminished value. You can't go after

1423
01:40:14.680 --> 01:40:17.359
your own insurance company. So in
other words, if your wife ran into

1424
01:40:17.439 --> 01:40:21.319
a telephone pole, you're not going
to get diminished value. But Dave,

1425
01:40:21.479 --> 01:40:29.239
you can definitely go after that insurance
company the ad fault drivers and get diminished

1426
01:40:29.279 --> 01:40:32.000
value. Diminished value, believe it
or not, can be up to fifteen

1427
01:40:32.079 --> 01:40:36.159
to twenty percent. You got a
fifty thousand dollars vehicle, that's an extra

1428
01:40:36.359 --> 01:40:42.600
six grand coming out of the value
of that vehicle. That fifteen or twenty

1429
01:40:42.640 --> 01:40:45.000
percent, So you've got to make
sure to ask for that. These insurance

1430
01:40:45.039 --> 01:40:48.640
companies will never cough up that information. You know what I'd like to do,

1431
01:40:49.239 --> 01:40:55.119
Kelly, Let's get on who's our
guys with diminish value? I get

1432
01:40:55.199 --> 01:40:59.159
petty details. Let's get on petty
details, Dave. After the break,

1433
01:40:59.399 --> 01:41:01.760
I want to get these guys on
and really explain, not just to you,

1434
01:41:02.159 --> 01:41:05.159
because people are in accidents all the
time. You got a couple things.

1435
01:41:05.359 --> 01:41:09.439
The insurance company steps up and says, yeah, it was our driver's

1436
01:41:09.520 --> 01:41:12.439
fault. You have twenty grand worth
of damage, you know, get it

1437
01:41:12.479 --> 01:41:15.960
to a body shop and get it
fixed. You know, that's what most

1438
01:41:15.000 --> 01:41:17.800
people think. They don't even think
of the diminished value part of it,

1439
01:41:18.119 --> 01:41:23.239
and that can put thousands of dollars
into your pocket. The other thing is,

1440
01:41:23.359 --> 01:41:26.199
Dave, you're saying you have to
go to their body shop. Hell,

1441
01:41:26.319 --> 01:41:30.119
no, man, go find a
couple good body shops and you get

1442
01:41:30.319 --> 01:41:32.319
estimates, and you send the estimates
to that company. Tell them, you

1443
01:41:32.359 --> 01:41:36.119
know, why would you want to
use their body shop for? For heaven's

1444
01:41:36.119 --> 01:41:40.159
sake, Why would you give me
one reason, Dave, why you would

1445
01:41:40.199 --> 01:41:44.680
want to? I wouldn't. I
don't. I don't like that particular companies.

1446
01:41:44.840 --> 01:41:46.960
Yeah, you know what's funny is
you thought when you called up you

1447
01:41:47.119 --> 01:41:50.199
might have to use them. Why
would you think that? I'm just curious

1448
01:41:50.319 --> 01:41:54.399
because you're not the only one,
but I am curious. You have no

1449
01:41:54.600 --> 01:42:00.039
contractual agreement with that company, all
right. The other thing I was wondering

1450
01:42:00.119 --> 01:42:04.079
about is is there a time limit
to where I have to respond to them?

1451
01:42:05.119 --> 01:42:11.239
Well, you mean respond to their
offer. There's no injuries, are

1452
01:42:11.279 --> 01:42:15.279
there? Maybe I'm missing something no, No, there's no injury. I've

1453
01:42:15.319 --> 01:42:17.319
gotten I've got a good idea for
you because quote, you're an old guy

1454
01:42:17.359 --> 01:42:20.000
and I'm making fun of you there. I've got a good idea. We're

1455
01:42:20.000 --> 01:42:23.680
going to talk about. We're going
to get our expert on. But you

1456
01:42:23.800 --> 01:42:26.399
shouldn't be doing this. I'm going
to I'm going to tell you like it

1457
01:42:26.560 --> 01:42:29.199
is. I want to ask them. It's it's going to be a few

1458
01:42:29.239 --> 01:42:31.479
bucks, but you're going to get
the most money and you can pick wherever

1459
01:42:31.520 --> 01:42:34.319
you want to get it fixed.
Hold on, let's get petty details up

1460
01:42:34.720 --> 01:42:38.479
in the meantime, real quick,
Kevin, I'm up against the clock.

1464

solve problems, answer questions, take complaints,

we have to go after the bad contractor

1480
01:44:18.479 --> 01:44:23.479
that ripped you off and publicly shame
them into giving you a refund or doing

1481
01:44:23.560 --> 01:44:26.680
what's right. Or maybe, like
in this case with Dave, they called

1482
01:44:26.800 --> 01:44:32.680
last hour his wife got rear ended
by a car. Okay, they meaning

1483
01:44:32.760 --> 01:44:38.239
the other person's insurance company, wanted
him to get the work done at a

1484
01:44:38.359 --> 01:44:41.920
particular place that I'm sure is one
of their providers. But he doesn't need

1485
01:44:42.000 --> 01:44:45.600
to do that. But more importantly, of course, the other insurance company

1486
01:44:45.680 --> 01:44:49.159
or any insurance company, never likes
talking about the minish value. You'll never

1487
01:44:49.279 --> 01:44:53.800
hear the words come out of their
mouth unless if you bring it up.

1488
01:44:54.239 --> 01:44:59.920
We have an expert on Justin Petty. He's with Petty details on it,

1489
01:45:00.039 --> 01:45:04.399
a referral list at referral list dot
com and just really quick justin. We

1490
01:45:04.520 --> 01:45:06.920
haven't talked for a while. First
of all, thanks for coming on at

1491
01:45:06.960 --> 01:45:12.920
a dimes notice there? Sure?
Yeah, So how often does the other

1492
01:45:13.039 --> 01:45:16.800
insurance company even talk to people about
diminish value? Does it ever happen or

1493
01:45:16.840 --> 01:45:21.800
have you ever heard of it happening? Oh, it's a very rare few

1494
01:45:21.840 --> 01:45:25.479
and far between that they'll bring it
up. Yeah, why would they?

1495
01:45:25.600 --> 01:45:28.359
Right? You have to demand it, right? Just extra money that they

1496
01:45:28.479 --> 01:45:31.399
owe. Now here's one of the
questions I get a lot when it comes

1497
01:45:31.439 --> 01:45:35.479
to diminished value. One, you
can never go after your own insurance company

1498
01:45:35.640 --> 01:45:40.319
in any state as far as I
know. Do you know of any state

1499
01:45:40.359 --> 01:45:45.840
where you can claim with your own
insurance company diminished value if you created the

1500
01:45:45.920 --> 01:45:51.840
problem. Yeah, there's there's seven
or eight states where the case law says

1501
01:45:51.880 --> 01:45:56.079
you can, Georgia being the most
prominent one where you can do that.

1502
01:45:56.520 --> 01:46:01.279
Nice fact, Colorado had some case
law too. The problem with it is

1503
01:46:01.359 --> 01:46:08.880
that once that case law goes through, then the carriers submit for a policy

1504
01:46:09.680 --> 01:46:13.159
change to the Department of Insurance and
they exclude it. Got it, So

1505
01:46:14.119 --> 01:46:17.520
they normally excluded even in those states
where the case law says you could recover

1506
01:46:17.640 --> 01:46:21.239
it from your own company. But
when you sign that agreement or enter into

1507
01:46:21.319 --> 01:46:26.319
that policy with them, they exclude
diminished value. So therefore it doesn't matter

1508
01:46:26.359 --> 01:46:30.199
what the state law is. You
agreed not to go after them. That's

1509
01:46:30.319 --> 01:46:32.600
right. Yeah, you know what's
kind of funny when you think of diminished

1510
01:46:32.680 --> 01:46:36.520
value. And I want to hear
this just from your perspective, then we'll

1511
01:46:36.560 --> 01:46:42.520
talk about Dave's case. But if
I get my vehicle repaired after an accident,

1512
01:46:42.880 --> 01:46:45.359
let's just say I backed into a
telephone poll or something, and I

1513
01:46:45.479 --> 01:46:49.039
get it repaired perfectly, I use
the best body shop. In fact,

1514
01:46:49.239 --> 01:46:54.039
arguably the paint job when they're done
is better than the original paint job.

1515
01:46:54.439 --> 01:46:58.520
I guess what I'm saying, it's
perfect, the work was perfect. It's

1516
01:46:58.640 --> 01:47:01.760
funny how the car is worth flash
Still, how do you justify that just

1517
01:47:01.880 --> 01:47:05.159
in your own mind? I mean, I realize why it's that way,

1518
01:47:05.279 --> 01:47:10.039
because when someone shopping for a car
and they see it was in an accident

1519
01:47:10.439 --> 01:47:14.479
and they're comparing it to a like
vehicle that wasn't in an accident, it's

1520
01:47:14.560 --> 01:47:17.119
more appealing the one that wasn't.
But it's kind of crazy. If it

1521
01:47:17.319 --> 01:47:23.239
was repaired perfectly, why there would
be just diminish value? Kind of take

1522
01:47:23.319 --> 01:47:27.359
me down a quick road of when
this really came about, because I don't

1523
01:47:27.399 --> 01:47:31.640
remember twenty years ago ever talking about
diminish value. How did it become so

1524
01:47:31.920 --> 01:47:40.159
prominent? Well, you know the
history, services like car packs and an

1525
01:47:40.279 --> 01:47:46.039
auto check and things like that have
have not have not helped the I guess

1526
01:47:46.159 --> 01:47:51.920
what you would call the stigma associated
with repairs there. But the reality is

1527
01:47:53.600 --> 01:47:58.000
that a car that's been repaired comes
with the higher risk of problems and an

1528
01:47:58.119 --> 01:48:01.880
unknown factor. You can't unred repair
it and look and see did they repair

1529
01:48:01.920 --> 01:48:05.880
it right? You have to trust
that it was repaired properly. So it

1530
01:48:06.000 --> 01:48:12.359
comes with a higher risk and it's
just a much higher risk purchase to purchase

1531
01:48:12.439 --> 01:48:16.079
one that's had any kind of collision
history and repair because you're not you can't

1532
01:48:16.239 --> 01:48:18.920
prove that it was done perfect.
You know, you think you can.

1533
01:48:19.159 --> 01:48:23.800
That's a great point, and you're
right. I mean I thought I had

1534
01:48:23.840 --> 01:48:26.920
a little better argument than that,
but you just shot it down. Now,

1535
01:48:27.079 --> 01:48:30.119
when we talk about diminish value,
how do we break that down or

1536
01:48:30.199 --> 01:48:35.199
into simple terms? If you have
a twenty ten that's got a let's just

1537
01:48:35.279 --> 01:48:40.479
call it a clean history, a
clean carfax, and you have a twenty

1538
01:48:40.720 --> 01:48:45.239
twenty four that's got a clean carfax, so you basically got one that's almost

1539
01:48:45.279 --> 01:48:49.880
brand new and one that's fourteen years
old. Would you assign the same percentages?

1540
01:48:50.000 --> 01:48:54.319
Generally? So if either of them
get into an accident, we know

1541
01:48:54.439 --> 01:48:58.319
the value of the vehicles is going
to be way different because one costs more

1542
01:48:58.439 --> 01:49:02.079
or one's worth more. But when
you talk about diminish value, would the

1543
01:49:02.239 --> 01:49:08.560
twenty ten maybe only have a ten
percent diminish value where the twenty twenty four

1544
01:49:08.640 --> 01:49:13.800
could have a twenty percent How is
that typically factored? Yeah, for sure.

1545
01:49:13.960 --> 01:49:15.920
The I mean there's a lot of
different factors. I mean, you

1546
01:49:16.039 --> 01:49:20.479
can take the far extremes and look
at like, for example, a Lamborghini

1547
01:49:20.920 --> 01:49:26.359
versus a Toyota Corolla, both being
brand new, they still on opposite ende

1548
01:49:26.359 --> 01:49:30.359
of the spectrum. And what you're
really looking at is the difference in the

1549
01:49:30.479 --> 01:49:35.319
percentages are pretty similar across all vehicles. The older the vehicle gets, of

1550
01:49:35.399 --> 01:49:41.760
course, the less worry in your
mind. It's is typically expected, yeah,

1551
01:49:41.800 --> 01:49:45.359
from wear and tear, and may
already have an accident history or a

1552
01:49:45.439 --> 01:49:48.640
minor bump here and there on it. So the stigma doesn't attach to the

1553
01:49:48.720 --> 01:49:54.279
older vehicles as easily as a new
one or as a high end vehicle.

1554
01:49:54.399 --> 01:49:59.760
So it's the percentages are pretty consistent. But yeah, diminish value, diminish

1555
01:49:59.880 --> 01:50:03.560
it over time, Okay, just
naturally. So we talked about accidents and

1556
01:50:03.760 --> 01:50:06.159
when I'm I'm going to bring up
our caller, let me lock you in

1557
01:50:06.279 --> 01:50:09.720
and Dave, I'm going to bring
you up to join into this call.

1558
01:50:10.680 --> 01:50:13.279
Justin might have questions for you.
I might ask you a question. So

1559
01:50:13.359 --> 01:50:15.800
I got you both up. His
is interesting and I never thought about this

1560
01:50:16.000 --> 01:50:20.960
before. His vehicle he got rear
ended. There's damage there. He doesn't

1561
01:50:21.000 --> 01:50:24.840
know what the carfax is, but
we're going to help him figure that part

1562
01:50:24.880 --> 01:50:29.439
out. Oh and by the way, justin if a car fact shows two

1563
01:50:29.560 --> 01:50:33.439
accidents compared to one, arguably there's
still diminished value, not as much,

1564
01:50:33.560 --> 01:50:41.560
But wouldn't there still be something to
attempt to go after. Well, technically,

1565
01:50:41.760 --> 01:50:44.880
yes, two is worse than one. You know two is you know

1566
01:50:44.960 --> 01:50:47.199
one is bad, two is worse. Yeah, and you do have to

1567
01:50:47.239 --> 01:50:51.119
look at each one. It's harder
fighting, very very difficult to get a

1568
01:50:51.239 --> 01:50:57.039
carrier to agree to that. Okay, the typical argument because it's already there.

1569
01:50:57.119 --> 01:51:00.159
They already paid out, or someone's
already paid out. So now,

1570
01:51:00.239 --> 01:51:03.720
but here's what's interesting about Dave's And
I don't know if you've ever run into

1571
01:51:03.800 --> 01:51:11.720
this when you pull a carfax and
you see the registered owner or you see

1572
01:51:11.800 --> 01:51:15.199
where it's gone through. But I'll
just cut to the question. Dave bought

1573
01:51:15.279 --> 01:51:18.359
it from Hurtz. I believe it
was Hurts rental car. So he bought

1574
01:51:18.479 --> 01:51:24.880
a former rental car directly from Hurtz
or whomever it was. Does that show

1575
01:51:25.000 --> 01:51:30.960
up on a car fax? And
if it did, does that affect diminish

1576
01:51:30.079 --> 01:51:34.119
value? Because one could argue if
I went to look at a car and

1577
01:51:34.359 --> 01:51:39.560
found out it was an old rental
car. I would consider that thing was

1578
01:51:39.680 --> 01:51:43.840
probably beaten up over the years.
It was a rental car. So how

1579
01:51:43.920 --> 01:51:47.000
does that factor in If you buy
a rental car that's never been in an

1580
01:51:47.039 --> 01:51:50.680
accident, but we know it was
a rental car, and then someone buys

1581
01:51:50.800 --> 01:51:56.560
an individual like Dave and it gets
into an accident. Is there an argue

1582
01:51:56.640 --> 01:52:00.880
there the other insurance company could make
because it was a car or Am I

1583
01:52:00.000 --> 01:52:04.520
totally off base? No? I
mean they they routinely make that argument.

1584
01:52:04.560 --> 01:52:10.079
I've run into that a lot.
It'll show fleet on the batterbacks or it'll

1585
01:52:10.119 --> 01:52:14.479
show a fleet vehicle. That doesn't
always mean that it was a rental car,

1586
01:52:15.079 --> 01:52:17.680
but with this one being Hurts,
I would assume it was. Sometimes

1587
01:52:17.760 --> 01:52:23.319
fleet means it was a demo car
for a salesperson at a company, and

1588
01:52:23.439 --> 01:52:26.920
so that's a little different. But
yeah, tragedy of the commons with the

1589
01:52:27.159 --> 01:52:30.640
with the rental vehicles is a common
argument that's used that, oh, they're

1590
01:52:30.680 --> 01:52:34.359
going to rag out the rental car
and so it was already on the lower

1591
01:52:34.479 --> 01:52:38.800
tier and it does affect it.
I do take that into consideration. I

1592
01:52:38.880 --> 01:52:42.800
look at whether it was a rental
car or not, because they're just less

1593
01:52:42.880 --> 01:52:46.479
desirable in general, but erect rental
car is less desirable than the other rental

1594
01:52:46.520 --> 01:52:49.039
cars, so yeah, it drops
it still, but not as much.

1595
01:52:49.239 --> 01:52:53.840
So Dave, I would like you
and tell me how much you would charge

1596
01:52:53.920 --> 01:52:58.199
for this. Dave's Dave. They're
trying to get it fixed at their own

1597
01:52:58.319 --> 01:53:00.279
shop and all this other crap.
He doesn't know who the other carrier is,

1598
01:53:00.720 --> 01:53:05.039
but anyhow, the blame is there. It's definitely the other driver's fault.

1599
01:53:05.760 --> 01:53:11.199
He went to whatever body shop they
wanted Tom to go to, or

1600
01:53:11.279 --> 01:53:15.319
whatever adjuster and blah blah blah.
I told him, you know, pick

1601
01:53:15.399 --> 01:53:18.479
a couple other body shops, go
get some estimates and figure that part out.

1602
01:53:18.560 --> 01:53:23.760
But he didn't even know about diminish
value. It was a twenty seventeen

1603
01:53:23.840 --> 01:53:30.680
what Dave superut Forrester and how many
miles roughly about one hundred and five.

1604
01:53:30.119 --> 01:53:34.439
So just with those real basic numbers
there. And by the way, suber

1605
01:53:34.560 --> 01:53:38.279
U's out here with that all wheel
driver, a big deal. I'm sure

1606
01:53:38.319 --> 01:53:42.680
you know that justin but what do
you think the diminished value? And we're

1607
01:53:42.800 --> 01:53:47.920
just totally talking now, and we're
guessing there wasn't any reported damage in the

1608
01:53:48.039 --> 01:53:54.600
past even though it was a fleet
car. Yeah, you probably took talking

1609
01:53:54.800 --> 01:53:59.920
twelve to fifteen percent of the pre
accident value. Tell them where something like,

1610
01:54:00.319 --> 01:54:03.439
you know, three and a half
four thousand dollars, probably if the

1611
01:54:03.520 --> 01:54:09.000
damages were bad enough to where they
weren't just a scratch. Yeah, she's

1612
01:54:09.159 --> 01:54:12.119
I mean she got rear end pretty
good. Now, how much do you

1613
01:54:12.439 --> 01:54:15.399
charge in order to get and deal
with that to menish value? I don't

1614
01:54:15.439 --> 01:54:20.039
see. I think you would end
up whatever you charge, Dave, I

1615
01:54:20.159 --> 01:54:24.399
think you would make up for in
getting him more money than he's ever going

1616
01:54:24.479 --> 01:54:29.239
to get himself, is my point. Yeah, we're real careful about because

1617
01:54:29.279 --> 01:54:32.039
we charge five hundred dollars for a
formal appraisal. Yeah, but we have

1618
01:54:32.199 --> 01:54:36.520
other options for sort of lower value
claims that are reports that we've produced.

1619
01:54:36.640 --> 01:54:42.079
Sure, so we have one hundred
and ninety five dollars option for the smaller

1620
01:54:42.159 --> 01:54:45.920
ones normally something five thousand or below. We'll go with that cheaper option to

1621
01:54:46.079 --> 01:54:49.079
just help, just to I love
it, so, Dave, what I

1622
01:54:49.199 --> 01:54:53.000
want you to do. There's a
couple things, Dave, I want you

1623
01:54:53.079 --> 01:54:56.039
to know. And I brought you
down this road to educate the public.

1624
01:54:56.119 --> 01:54:59.479
More than anything but one, Dave, you don't have to use your body

1625
01:54:59.520 --> 01:55:01.399
shop. We are aready talked about
it. Go to the other body shop,

1626
01:55:01.560 --> 01:55:05.079
find one that you're comfortable with and
they should be able to do it.

1627
01:55:05.199 --> 01:55:08.960
You should also be getting a rental
car in this period of time.

1628
01:55:09.239 --> 01:55:12.359
And then on top of that,
I want you to call Justin and talk

1629
01:55:12.399 --> 01:55:15.239
about diminish value, because no matter
what it sounds like, you're gonna leave

1630
01:55:15.359 --> 01:55:19.359
three or four thousand dollars on the
table if you don't go after them for

1631
01:55:19.439 --> 01:55:24.680
that diminish value. So were we
on the same page, sir? Yes,

1639
01:55:54.680 --> 01:55:57.840
Yeah, Mark, thanks thanks very
much, thanks to you. Justin.

01:56:08.760 --> 01:56:12.760

1644
01:56:12.840 --> 01:56:15.359

your car is completely totaled, and

1645
01:56:15.479 --> 01:56:19.359

you know, twenty five grand. Justin,

01:56:19.439 --> 01:56:24.760
you pay five hundred. He'll invoke
a certain clause and fight for the

real value. A lot of times
you'll get thirty forty percent higher. In

you twenty five and you'll find out that

1658
01:57:21.760 --> 01:57:26.600
to tell you about doctor Grossman,
the Grossman Wellness Center. You know,

1659
01:57:26.720 --> 01:57:30.920
it's kind of a funny joke when
people call up and say they're old.

1660
01:57:30.960 --> 01:57:33.760
It happened last hour. The guy
called up said I'm I'm old. I

1661
01:57:33.800 --> 01:57:35.760
don't know what to do. And
I said, well, how old are

1662
01:57:35.800 --> 01:57:40.520
you? And he says sixty seven. Well, what's funny about that is

1663
01:57:40.640 --> 01:57:44.479
Tom's seventy. And if you ever
see Tom, if you go to our

1664
01:57:44.600 --> 01:57:48.239
YouTube and then type in Troubleshooter Network
during the show, you'll see us live.

1665
01:57:48.800 --> 01:57:53.159
Tom doesn't look anywhere near seventy.
He's in great shape. His muscle

1666
01:57:53.239 --> 01:57:55.760
mass is great. Hell, it's
better than mine. I'm twenty years younger.

1667
01:57:56.439 --> 01:57:59.960
He's just in great shape. One
of the reasons he is is Grossman

1668
01:58:00.000 --> 01:58:03.680
and wellness. It's so funny.
And what Grossman is doing now he's a

1669
01:58:03.800 --> 01:58:08.359
doctor and basically you pay him a
certain amount of money depending on what you

1670
01:58:08.479 --> 01:58:12.800
need per month. This guy for
two hundred and forty nine bucks, you

1671
01:58:12.880 --> 01:58:16.159
get the initial blood work in exam, and that includes everything the blood work

1672
01:58:16.640 --> 01:58:19.960
they're going to talk about supplements.
You can call the doctor or talk to

1673
01:58:20.039 --> 01:58:25.920
him anytime, testosterone supplies, any
other prescriptions they can do. I mean,

1674
01:58:26.000 --> 01:58:29.319
it's a doctor. Doctor Grossman's a
real doctor, and he's really good

1675
01:58:29.359 --> 01:58:30.840
at what he does. But he
can help you live longer, he can

1676
01:58:30.920 --> 01:58:34.359
help you stay in good shape.
But that initial fee of two forty nine

1677
01:58:34.520 --> 01:58:41.399
is absolutely crazy. So if you're
frustrated with the conventional healthcare and you really

1678
01:58:41.520 --> 01:58:45.600
want to look at some kind of
concierge care, please call doc up called

1679
01:58:45.640 --> 01:58:49.960
doctor Grossman three ZHO three two three
three forty two forty seven. What I

1680
01:58:50.039 --> 01:58:54.600
love is time is actually a walking
billboard. Wouldn't you agree with that?

1681
01:58:55.079 --> 01:58:59.520
Frank Duran, You've known Tom forever. His shape is crazy. He's a

1682
01:58:59.640 --> 01:59:05.520
great hey dragon. Have you ever
seen the guy on the uh He he's

1683
01:59:05.600 --> 01:59:10.760
a bald guy, built like mister
Clean, and he's like seventy eighty years

1684
01:59:10.760 --> 01:59:14.119
old and he used to be on
magazines everywhere. Have you you know who

1685
01:59:14.159 --> 01:59:15.880
I'm referring to. You're not talking
about like Jack Lalane, are you?

1686
01:59:16.079 --> 01:59:18.479
It might be? I don't think
he was a bald guy, but he

1687
01:59:18.640 --> 01:59:23.560
was, you know, an older
gentleman that like would swim handcuffed and throw

1688
01:59:23.680 --> 01:59:27.319
boats. In great shape. Now, wouldn't you say, Now, wouldn't

1689
01:59:27.359 --> 01:59:32.640
you say Martino is in better shape
than what, give me an age the

1690
01:59:32.720 --> 01:59:36.800
average sixty year old? Oh,
at least at least. Yeah, it's

1691
01:59:36.920 --> 01:59:41.800
remarkable, and I really think he's
a walking billboard. Uh for Grossman.

1692
01:59:41.880 --> 01:59:44.960
I didn't mean to spend that much
time on Grossman, but it's pretty Uh,

1693
01:59:45.720 --> 01:59:47.199
it really is amazing. And I
talked to the doc for a while.

1694
01:59:47.199 --> 01:59:49.960
He's just a great guy. I
mean straight up like that. Hey,

1695
01:59:50.079 --> 01:59:55.880
any real estate questions, give our
guys an uh house to call today?

1696
01:59:55.880 --> 01:59:57.920
Three oh three seven, one,
three eight, two five five.

1697
01:59:58.000 --> 02:00:00.039
Now let's talk about Let's go back
to and he's got a question on the

1698
02:00:00.199 --> 02:00:04.560
utilities, man, Kevin. Basically, what happened is you have power lines

1699
02:00:04.640 --> 02:00:09.720
that Excel has up. They want
to do an easement and bury the lines.

1700
02:00:09.800 --> 02:00:13.399
Right. Yeah, it's it's not
a mix use develop it's not a

1701
02:00:13.439 --> 02:00:16.279
commercial lot we have so it's the
back lot. Yeah, and it's United

1702
02:00:16.359 --> 02:00:19.159
Power and they're currently over and you
want to put him in the ground.

1703
02:00:19.520 --> 02:00:23.439
Not for our benefit. For some
other street work they're doing. We don't

1704
02:00:23.479 --> 02:00:26.600
truthfully care. But then they're like, well we need we need to sign

1705
02:00:26.640 --> 02:00:28.960
this paper in My wife's like,
well, you know, what's this all

1706
02:00:29.000 --> 02:00:30.960
about? And then after she's like, well, what do you mean you're

1707
02:00:30.960 --> 02:00:31.880
taking this and he's like, well, we'll give you five hundred bucks.

1708
02:00:31.920 --> 02:00:35.159
We're like, it's eight feet along
the back and then eight ft up the

1709
02:00:35.199 --> 02:00:39.279
side. Yeah, but it's going
to be an easement. Can we get

1710
02:00:39.439 --> 02:00:43.000
can we get O'Brien Kelly, do
you think he's still around? Let's let's

1711
02:00:43.039 --> 02:00:45.119
try to get him up. Here's
kind of my thoughts on it. Then

1712
02:00:45.159 --> 02:00:47.479
we're going to talk to the attorney
on it. I think they could take

1713
02:00:47.520 --> 02:00:53.359
it through eminent domain. I don't
know how much money the value is because

1714
02:00:53.399 --> 02:00:56.840
once it's buried, your property is
still good. So I don't know,

1715
02:00:57.000 --> 02:00:59.800
but you kind of see where I'm
going. I don't know if they have

1716
02:00:59.920 --> 02:01:02.760
to pay you crap, but we're
gonna find out. And if you say

1717
02:01:02.920 --> 02:01:06.560
no, I don't know if you
can say no if they go to the

1718
02:01:06.680 --> 02:01:12.479
city and claim eminent domain, okay, And that's what we weren't sure,

1719
02:01:12.479 --> 02:01:14.640
And then we're not trying to be
thinkers about it. But I mean,

1720
02:01:14.680 --> 02:01:16.279
once they do an even on the
rear on the back, this definitely that's

1721
02:01:16.319 --> 02:01:19.119
probably we can't pave over. We
can't put a sidewalk over. Well no,

1722
02:01:19.239 --> 02:01:21.359
wait, I don't know about that. Are they saying that? I

1723
02:01:21.399 --> 02:01:26.840
guess if they had to get to
the lines? Are they? What is

1724
02:01:26.920 --> 02:01:30.640
there right now? What is there
right now? Nothing? Nothing? Because

1725
02:01:30.680 --> 02:01:31.640
they're overhead. No I mean no, no, no, I'm sorry.

1726
02:01:31.840 --> 02:01:34.680
Where the property is where they dig? Is it cement? What is it?

1727
02:01:35.199 --> 02:01:38.760
It's just it's just a part of
the vacant lot. It's just dirt.

1728
02:01:38.960 --> 02:01:41.880
Okay, all right, hold on, we're gonna we're gonna get him

1729
02:01:41.960 --> 02:01:45.000
on and try to figure that out. Hold on a second man, And

1730
02:01:45.119 --> 02:01:47.680
then in the meantime, what I'm
gonna do is I'm gonna jump over to

1731
02:01:47.760 --> 02:01:51.119
this called Bill. Hey, Bill, what's your question on homeowners insurance?

1732
02:01:51.600 --> 02:01:55.960
Hey? Well, we just gotta
I was wondering if this happened to everybody.

1733
02:01:57.640 --> 02:02:00.359
We just got to notice that our
deductibles going from five hundred to two

1734
02:02:00.439 --> 02:02:04.039
thousand dollars. Oh my god,
is it just on like hail and wind?

1735
02:02:04.119 --> 02:02:08.279
Peril? Or what's it on?
Everything? They said because of the

1736
02:02:08.359 --> 02:02:11.920
storm. No, but I'm saying, is the deductible tied just to those

1737
02:02:12.039 --> 02:02:16.039
perils or is that deductible tied to
everything? For example, fire? I'm

1738
02:02:16.079 --> 02:02:20.640
pretty sure everything, man, I
mean that's drastic. Did you call Compass

1739
02:02:20.760 --> 02:02:24.920
up and ask them? Oh,
I'm gonna have to be well, I've

1740
02:02:24.920 --> 02:02:28.520
been wanting to change. What company? Is it? Bill? Not a

1741
02:02:28.600 --> 02:02:30.479
good one? Who is an American
family? You know what? Let's do

1742
02:02:30.680 --> 02:02:34.399
this. I'm running late on these
breaks anyhow, So what I'd like to

1743
02:02:34.439 --> 02:02:38.520
do is, let's try to get
Bradley O'Brien up for Kevin, and let's

1744
02:02:38.560 --> 02:02:42.039
get somebody over at Compass. I
don't understand how you go. What did

1745
02:02:42.119 --> 02:02:45.680
he say? Five hundred guys,
five hundred to two thousand. A lot

1746
02:02:45.760 --> 02:02:49.399
of times you have different perils.
So if you have wind and hail,

1747
02:02:49.560 --> 02:02:54.920
that might be two thousand dollars because
it happens a lot around here where you

1748
02:02:55.000 --> 02:02:59.640
know, if it was fire or
other things that could be covered, vandalism

1749
02:03:00.159 --> 02:03:02.600
pretty much anything, an explosion,
a gas leak, it wouldn't be that

1750
02:03:02.800 --> 02:03:05.199
high. But let's talk to Compass
about that. I think a lot of

1751
02:03:05.239 --> 02:03:11.960

Now I have got Brian Burns on Brian,

1767
02:04:24.399 --> 02:04:26.640
I don't have the call around,
but I'm gonna go to you real

1768
02:04:26.760 --> 02:04:32.399
quick. Here's the deal. He
got his renewal, and his renewal from

1769
02:04:32.439 --> 02:04:38.239
American Family went from five hundred to
two thousand for the deductible. That's the

1770
02:04:38.319 --> 02:04:41.239
only information. I think his name
was Bill. In fact, I know

1771
02:04:41.319 --> 02:04:44.840
it was Bill because he calls a
lot. So is this pretty normal right

1772
02:04:44.960 --> 02:04:48.319
now? Is everybody going up?
And is that extraordinary? Or is that

1773
02:04:48.560 --> 02:04:53.399
normal? No, it's not extraordinary. Extraordinary is that he had a five

1774
02:04:53.520 --> 02:04:57.479
hundred deductible because it is just you
don't see him anymore. Two thousand is

1775
02:04:58.000 --> 02:05:02.079
definitely not out of the ordinary this
point, I think mine's yeah, I

1776
02:05:02.119 --> 02:05:06.199
mean, and and that's more not
necessarily a requirement as much as like what

1777
02:05:06.319 --> 02:05:11.520
your choice has been, and if
the insurance companies will reward you with the

1778
02:05:11.600 --> 02:05:15.199
higher deductible, it's worth considering,
especially when you have a roof that is

1779
02:05:15.600 --> 02:05:18.439
is not going to have damage from
hails. Yeah, well that's why I

1780
02:05:18.600 --> 02:05:23.960
said, That's why I didn't mind
having such a high deductible because if something

1781
02:05:24.039 --> 02:05:28.279
damage is my roof, I mean, it's catastrophic, right exactly. And

1782
02:05:28.359 --> 02:05:31.239
then five thousand dollars won't really matter
in the scheme of what the actual cost

1783
02:05:31.319 --> 02:05:34.119
of the claim is. So but
yeah, I mean we're dealing with I

1784
02:05:34.159 --> 02:05:38.760
mean people are you know, our
renewals. We're going and calling all of

1785
02:05:38.800 --> 02:05:42.560
our renewals that are coming in,
and you know, we're seeing rate increases

1786
02:05:42.720 --> 02:05:46.840
sometimes that are just astronomical, and
we'll shop it around and sometimes we'll find

1787
02:05:46.840 --> 02:05:51.239
a better deal. Sometimes it's by
cutting coverages or raising deductibles, and we

1788
02:05:51.399 --> 02:05:56.680
just have to have the conversation with
people because at some point it's what,

1789
02:05:57.000 --> 02:06:00.279
you know, what makes sense to
you and how much risk are you to

1790
02:06:00.359 --> 02:06:02.880
take on versus premium? God,
it's so crazy, man, it's it

1791
02:06:03.520 --> 02:06:08.920
right now. It's absolutely amazing how
much insurance is I mean, it doesn't

1792
02:06:08.920 --> 02:06:12.520
matter if it's car insurance or homeowners. On the commercial side, I mean,

1793
02:06:12.560 --> 02:06:15.840
I know you guys do a ton
of commercial policies. Are they seeing

1794
02:06:15.960 --> 02:06:19.000
the same thing, Like, what's
your typical like a automotive shop that's got

1795
02:06:19.039 --> 02:06:24.520
garage keepers or a contractor? I
mean, are they seeing these twenty five

1796
02:06:24.600 --> 02:06:29.600
percent increases too? No, those
kind of risks aren't. But if you

1797
02:06:29.680 --> 02:06:34.079
think about commercial habitational like let's say
apartment building. Oh shoot, they're not

1798
02:06:34.279 --> 02:06:40.199
just taking rate increases, they're almost
not even having they're DEDUCTI was so high

1799
02:06:40.199 --> 02:06:42.880
they don't even have coverage for hal
anymore. We get caught. We get

1800
02:06:42.960 --> 02:06:45.760
calls all the time. In fact, we had one today on a condo

1801
02:06:45.640 --> 02:06:49.920
and it was crazy, man.
I mean they were talking the insurance was

1802
02:06:50.000 --> 02:06:55.039
going to go up like a million
dollars. I think about that. A

1803
02:06:55.239 --> 02:06:59.039
million dollars. Yep. No,
And I mean I guess the best thing

1804
02:06:59.119 --> 02:07:01.319
I could. If you're thinking and
saying, how in the world are these

1805
02:07:01.399 --> 02:07:05.840
rates going up? It wouldn't take
long to ask a group of ten people

1806
02:07:05.920 --> 02:07:09.560
in the room with you how many
of you have had hail claims in the

1807
02:07:09.680 --> 02:07:13.640
last five years, and I would
say the majority would say yes. And

1808
02:07:14.079 --> 02:07:17.159
at some point it just can't sustain
it unless you start raising rate. And

1809
02:07:17.279 --> 02:07:21.039
you know what that ties into auto
as well? Of course, yes,

1810
02:07:21.439 --> 02:07:26.199
right, exactly, and the cost
of repairs for cars is skyrocketing. You

1811
02:07:26.279 --> 02:07:29.439
know what I've learned from you over
the years, which is amazing what you

1812
02:07:29.520 --> 02:07:31.880
guys do for us, how you
reshop it, Because when our kids were

1813
02:07:31.960 --> 02:07:36.359
sixteen and seventeen, I think you
had us with safe Co And I'm just

1814
02:07:36.600 --> 02:07:40.960
man, that's so many years ago, I just don't remember. But when

1815
02:07:41.239 --> 02:07:46.199
then when one of them turned sixteen
and got their driver's license, you reshopped

1816
02:07:46.279 --> 02:07:50.520
us because Safeco at the time or
whomever it was, was so high.

1817
02:07:51.119 --> 02:07:56.199
We got the same coverage, if
not better coverage from Progressive at the time

1818
02:07:56.800 --> 02:08:01.359
because they leaned more towards young drivers
and Safego. But then what I found

1819
02:08:01.399 --> 02:08:03.560
out a few years later at switched
back. In other words, all of

1820
02:08:03.600 --> 02:08:07.960
a sudden have an eighteen year old
driver. What's cheaper through Safeco than it

1821
02:08:09.159 --> 02:08:13.399
was through Progressive? I mean,
why are they constantly changing what they do?

1822
02:08:13.760 --> 02:08:20.039
Well, the thing is is different
companies priced themselves for certain riffs.

1823
02:08:20.239 --> 02:08:24.119
I just got off the phone with
somebody that is with USAAA, and they

1824
02:08:26.319 --> 02:08:30.680
have a young driver coming on and
their rates were decent until they added the

1825
02:08:30.720 --> 02:08:33.239
young driver. So I shopped it
around and I found a carrier that would

1826
02:08:33.279 --> 02:08:37.960
do the young driver at a vehicle
and their premium is actually two thousand dollars

1827
02:08:39.119 --> 02:08:41.680
less than we're paying before adding the
kid, and it's the same coverage.

1828
02:08:43.600 --> 02:08:46.960
It's actually better coverage because I put
an umbrella on them as well, So

1829
02:08:46.359 --> 02:08:50.800
it really if I could give anybody
advice as far as when they're shopping,

1830
02:08:52.600 --> 02:08:56.199
the absolute necessity to shop. When
you're adding a sixteen year old on your

1831
02:08:56.239 --> 02:09:01.479
policy, you are crazy not to
look around at that point because there's just

1832
02:09:01.600 --> 02:09:07.239
companies that price themselves thousands of dollars. How many companies do you shop?

1833
02:09:07.399 --> 02:09:11.199
Like for that one you're talking about, what the whoever you said their insurance

1834
02:09:11.239 --> 02:09:15.920
company was, how many did you
shop it to? Literally the personal line?

1835
02:09:15.960 --> 02:09:18.079
Yeah, because that's personal line.
So one why is looking? Let's

1836
02:09:18.079 --> 02:09:22.840
see here, I can tell you
there's twelve twelve carriers. So you go

1837
02:09:22.960 --> 02:09:26.520
out to twelve different carriers, put
in whatever the information on this client,

1838
02:09:26.920 --> 02:09:31.279
and then bam bam they come back
with bids, and then you tell them

1839
02:09:31.760 --> 02:09:35.279
the best bid. And of course
the people you're rating are all high rated

1840
02:09:35.359 --> 02:09:39.960
insurance companies, right, Yeah.
I wouldn't ever rate anybody that is a

1841
02:09:39.079 --> 02:09:41.479
questionable carrier. Yeah, of course
not. I'm not. You're not going

1842
02:09:41.520 --> 02:09:45.279
to see me do the general or
something out there, So no, no,

1843
02:09:45.479 --> 02:09:48.079
I love it, and you know, I appreciate you coming on at

1844
02:09:48.119 --> 02:09:50.560
short notice like that, Brian and
anybody out there listening. It doesn't matter

1845
02:09:50.600 --> 02:09:54.560
if it's a commercial policy. They
do that. They can even shop your

workmen's comp if you can believe that
he saved me money on workmen's comp.

1847

They do our motor cycle, they
do our home, they do our cars,

1848
02:10:03.119 --> 02:10:07.119
they do our trailer, they do
our RV. I don't think I'm

1849
02:10:07.199 --> 02:10:11.760
forgetting everything, but they reshop all
those things every year for the best price.
