Good news and bad new (first the BAD):
My condo is currently (or WAS) in escrow. I got a call from my realtor last night. My condo's escrow fell through. I disclosed to the buyers that there are plumbing problems in my unit and said there are plans to replace the plumbing and there is most likely going to be an assessment, although I'm unsure how much. So, the buyers called our Management Company to find out the details and DESIREE from the Management Company painted a hideously GRIM picture to them. She came out and TOLD my buyers details that I didn't even know yet! She said that we will be having a $13,000 assessment (Yes folks, not $10,000 like was hinted previously) AND she told them that they won't even FIX the water for 4 years so my buyers would have to put up with COLD water for 4 years! I called Desiree last night and left a rather hysterical message for her. I've never sued before, but I sure feel like suing that management company for doing that to me. I was willing to compensate my buyers and work out these issues in hopes they could tolerate the water problems, but now my buyers are rightly ANGRY. HOW DARE she tell my buyers these details without even first telling all the actual homeowners this information??!!! Have any of YOU gotten any formal word on this? I sure haven't! AND, second off, it is suppose to go out for a vote, isn't it? It was hard for me to disclose the entire situation to my buyers as I thought it was all still up in the air, but Desiree sure indicated to my (EX) buyers that there is a definite PLAN in place.

Unless you're sitting on a $13,000 wad of cash (which I'm sure not), please read on......

***THE GOOD NEWS************
WE ALL NEED TO CHECK OUT OUR HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE POLICIES!!! In condo policies there is something called "Loss Assessment" coverage. I checked my policy and I DO have it on there for $10,000. I encourage EVERYONE to check their policies TODAY. If you don't see it on there, call your insurance company ASAP and add it on NOW. The coverage only costs around $5.00-$8.00!! Mine was $5.00.

Also, isn't there some law that hot water needs to be provided for sanitation purposes??? Our situation is unacceptable. I have been putting up with this for 7 years now and I'm so over this!!!

Suspicious Activity Last Night March 11th 2009

Last night around 10:45 as I was walking by the Garages I witnessed 2 young men in their late teens, Early 20's, both about 5'9"-6' tall. One wearing a blue CSUF hoodie and white shorts, the other wearing dark shorts and a red shirt. I clearly saw them tugging on garage door handels looking for anything unlocked. They did see me and continued down a side path of the 3000 building. I called 911 and reported this while ducking down another path. as I resurfaced the two guys went back at it and litteraly had one garage door open about a foot, saw me and casualy pickd up their pace and slipped down a path by the tennis court buildings. I ran to the front parking lot assuming I had beat them to the gate but to my suprise it seemed that they litterly vanished. I have personally never seen the two guys in our complex before. I usually wander to the alley and around to the front about that time to have a walk before bed. Luckly nothing seemed to be stolen from the garage they had opened and police reports were made. If you have any idea who the two guys are or if they live here in the complex please notify Fullerton Police.

Question From Prospective Buyer...So they say?

I am a person looking to buy here. My concern is the water issues here. We looked at a place and really liked what we saw. My concern is about the hot water. There is hot water in the bathroom but in the kitchen there was none. What is the community doing about this? From what I have been told this is a major problem. What can be done to eliminate my fear that if I buy this place I won't be set with a big assessment upon buying here. Aside from the fact I love the ambiance of this place. Please but my fears to rest.
