I represent Sequoia Properties and Management, LLC (hereinafter referred to as "Sequoia")On behalf of Sequoia, I appreciate this opportunity to respond to the complaint(hereinafter referred to as the "Complaint") filed with the Revdex.com (hereinafter referred to as the "Revdex.com")
by *** *** (hereinafter referred to as "Ms ***") .On or about September 21, 2014, Ms*** filed the Complaint with Revdex.com regarding a real estate transaction and short sale (hereinafter referred to as the "Short Sale") on a parcel of real property known as, and located at *** *** ***, Rockville, Maryland (hereinafter referred to as the "Property")The Complaint alleges that Sequoia falsely obtained a power of attorney (hereinafter referred to as a "POA"); that Ms*** did not go to settlement on the Property; that the settlement documents regarding the Property were forged; and that Sequoia refused to provide any settlement documentation to Ms***As a proposed settlement with Sequoia, Ms*** would like the Property returned to her or the sum of Fifty Thousand and 00/Dollars ($50,00).First, Ms*** entered into a POA, granting her the authorization to enter into a real estate contract on behalf of herself and her brother, *** *** *** (hereinafter referred to as "Mr***") , as well as sign for Mr*** any documents that were required to be executed to consummate the sale of the Property(Please See Exhibit A) As it appears the signatures on the POA are represented to be those of Ms*** and Mr***, Ms***'s first allegation appears to be invalidSecond and third, Ms*** claims she was unaware of settlement on the Property, and did not attend said settlement on the PropertyI have found a real estate contract entered into by Ms*** and Mr*** regarding the Property on or about November 20, (hereinafter referred to as the "Contract"). (Please See Exhibit B) The Contract, which contains Ms***'s signature states, in Paragraph 6, that settlement on the Property would occur by December 30, Settlement on the Property actually occurred on April 7, 2011, as evidenced by settlement documents obtained by Ms***(Please See Exhibit C.) As you may see, the signatures on the corresponding documents appear to be those of Ms***Further, it is my understanding that the title company conducted the settlement on the Property at Ms***'s place of employment, and there are emails between the title company and Ms*** regarding obtaining driver's licenses of the signatoriesEssentially, Ms***'s first, second and third allegations claim that she had no idea about the POA, about the sale of the Property and the settlement on the PropertyThis does not appear to be true, as there is a POA, Contract and settlement documents that appear to be signed by Ms***, as well as email correspondence between the title company and Ms***Fourth, Ms*** takes issue with Sequoia for not providing her with copies of the settlement documentsWhile it is true Ms*** filled out a number of documents with Sequoia, Sequoia only maintains copies of these types of documents for two (2) yearsThese documents contain highly personal information that are restricted in their circulation within Sequoia, and are destroyed so that said information will be protectedAs noted previously, Sequoia did not perform the settlement on the Property; rather, a title company conducted the settlement on the Property and, as such, the title company would have the records she requestedSequoia should not be held responsible for providing documents for which it is not responsibleThe events Ms*** references took place over three (3) to five (5) years agoIt is highly questionable why Ms*** raises these issues now, as, within that period of time Ms*** had to relocate her family from the Property, did not have to communicate with her lender with whom she likely was delinquent and has time to have put this matter behind herThe statute of limitations in Maryland for any type of written breach of contract action is three (3) years", and is raises red flags with me why Ms*** was unable to address this issue until after the statute of limitations expiredFinally, Sequoia, like a great many other businesses, has been created to assist an ever-growing portion of the population have issues with their creditorsIn a great many instances, Sequoia is only able to make a negative situation a degree or two better, depending on the difficulty of the matterThere are not many individuals that need to have their home short sold that end up completely wholeAs a result, some clients take their frustration out on the people and companies that attempt to lessen the client's financial stress, rather than assume responsibility for their economic issuesThis appears to manifest itself in Ms***'s request for the return of the Property (which is impossible, as it has new owners and Ms***'s mortgage is satisfied) or a sum of Fifty Thousand and 00/Dollars ($50,000.00), a figure that she provides no rationale or justification for requestingSequoia is disappointed that Ms*** appears to be unsatisfied with its work on Ms***'s matterHowever, in the circumstances Sequoia was given, it is to Sequoia's credit that Sequoia was able to conduct a Short Sale on the Property and to satisfy Ms***'s delinquency in her mortgage in a relatively short time frame; a result that not all people in Ms***'s situation experienceAgain, Sequoia appreciates this opportunity to respond to Ms***'s Complaint, and if you have any further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me directlyVery Truly Yours,

As noted by my Response to the Complaint, I represent Sequoia Properties and Management, LLC (hereinafter referred to as "Sequoia"). On behalf of Sequoia, I submit this second response to the complaint (hereinafter referred to as the "Complaint") filed with the Revdex.com (hereinafter referred to as the "Revdex.com") by [redacted] (hereinafter referred to as "Ms. [redacted]") .
At this point, Ms. [redacted] claims that her signature is not contained on the documents, and the signature of her brother, [redacted] (hereinafter referred to as "Mr. [redacted]") , is not authentic, as Mr. [redacted] was out of the country at the time of the transaction.
First, Sequoia was not tasked with conducting the settlement on the property in which the documents were signed. That was the domain of the title company and settlement officer. Sequoia is not responsible for what occurred at the time of settlement.
Second, Ms. [redacted] neither includes copies of the signatures on the documents she claims are not authentic, nor does she include a sample of her signature with which to compare. Also, Ms. [redacted] does not include any report or testimony of a handwriting expert to support her claim that her signature was not written by her. Simply just saying something is so does not make it true.
Third, it has never been Sequoia's contention that Mr. [redacted] was not in the country at the time the settlement occurred. Mr. [redacted] provided a power of attorney in which the documents were able to be signed for him, in his absence. (Please See Attachment A to the Letter dated November 18, 2014. )
Finally, as mentioned previously, the events Ms. [redacted] references took place over three (3) to five (5) years ago. It continues to be highly questionable why Ms. [redacted] is raising these issues now, as, within that period of time Ms. [redacted] had to relocate her family from the Property, did not have to communicate with her lender with whom she likely was delinquent and has time to have put this matter behind her. The statute of limitations in Maryland for any type of written breach of contract action is three (3) years", and continues to raise red flags with me why Ms. [redacted] was unable to address this issue until after the statute of limitations expired.
Again, Sequoia appreciates this opportunity to respond to Ms. [redacted]'s Complaint, and if you have any further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
Very Truly Yours,
Christopher L. M[redacted], Esquire
