Letter to Klein in Response to APOG Demands

Hello, 

A fellow owner, Richard Carson, has given us permission to reprint his letter to Klein in response to the demands of the APOG and Ed Wilson. Please read...

Dear Simona:

Thank you very much for forwarding the written proposals which have been sent to you by the Anchor Point Owners Group (APOG) represented by the law firm Lawson Lundell LLP.   Wendy and I are deeply concerned about the intent and implications of the proposals in these documents and we emphasize that under no circumstances will we agree to the recognition of a "Steering Committee" that may purport to make decisions or provide "oversight" pertaining to the sale of our property at Anchor Point 3.   We will retain our full authority to make any decisions about the sale, disposition or management of our private property as well as our portion of limited common property and common property within AP3.

Further, we have sought our own legal counsel in relation to the listing agreement which we have signed with your firm and have no intention of supporting the engagement of Lawson Lundell or any other law firm to address the marketing, communications, or potential sale of our property in any manner whatsoever.

It is becoming increasingly apparent that the representations made by the APOG Steering Committee and their legal representative could adversely impact your ability to achieve the stated commitments set out in our listing agreement with your company.   We are particularly concerned about the misinformation and disinformation currently being spread by some individuals and groups.  We urge you to continue to clarify and to act in our interest, up to and including giving written notice to anyone found to be spreading inaccurate and inappropriate statements to cease and desist.

We signed the listing agreement with the Klein Group in good faith and believe that your firm has continued to act in a straightforward, honest and open manner with respect to the potential marketing and sale of our property at Anchor Point.

SIncerely,

Richard Carson and Wendy Royal

Klein Group Owners Meeting Summary

The meeting with Klein Group signed owners this morning went very well. It was quite upbeat with a close to full house, along with 17 owners that had emailed Klein Group their wishes for voting on the proposed instructions from all the signed owners to Klein Group. After presenting a summary of the history of the AP assembly from the first meeting with the AP strata councils to today, and an update of market for downtown commercial properties, Klein Group also presented some information on the new assembly they are working on across Hornby Street from AP3. About 18 months ago, that 87 unit strata was faced with the need to have substantial special assessments to maintain their building. There is only a single council involved, who appointed a building committee to help evaluate the options after they received their Depreciation Report. They analyzed the options and brought the matter to their AGM where the vote was 85% in favor of going to market rather than put in an awful lot of...

IMPORTANT: MYG Agreement Will Require Changes

We now have confirmation that all of the existing MYG agreements will have to be amended .  The amendments will, at least, remove all references to Klein Group and brokerage cooperation. This was a decision made by the Managing Broker of ReMax.  What other changes he will require to the agreements are as yet unknown, but the agreement put together at the instruction of the APSC with MYG, and input from Ed Wilson, will be changed. It turns out that the MYG agreement was never rev iewed by ReMax lawyers . MYG never took the trouble to have it reviewed. Clearly, the new managing broker identified several major flaws and is requiring that the agreement be amended. It turns out the Klein Group was also correct on the insurability of the “cooperating brokerages” scenario promoted by MYG and Ed Wilson – it is not insurable . Further, contrary to Ed Wilson's representations , the standard insurance realtors carry is not nearly sufficient for a transaction of this nature....
