I moved to 1835 12th Street NW
-
I met the resident of 1831 12th Street NW in person, Mr. Coates who was the brother of William Coates ,
-
Mr. Coates who I spoke with in March 2021 passed away in July 2021. I had no contact with him since March 2021, I have to assume the Mr. Coates provided me his brother Wiliam Coates number
-
I sent two texts March 22 2021 at 840 am and 940am to William Coates. The text were sent to 301 420 6230 to my knowledge no response .
-
I sent an email to Claudia Vitale attorney and owner of KVS Title with legal advice based on my conversation with resident Mr. Coates ,
-
-
I was provided a phone number by Jill my assistant 2022701380. Ouatise Coates she identified herself as the granddaughter of Hazel Coates that she said was the owner of the property and not ready to sell. She did not mention any other parties or names, Vert short conversation . My assistant placed her into the CRM data base
-
My assistant found on been verified a phone number for William Coates . 301 420 6230. Also it is important to note this has Willam H Coates Jr . This is also why I thought the name on the documents was the father .
-
I called William Coates 301 420 6230 and we spoke briefly and he asked for me to contact his brother Bennie Coates and said he would be handling the sale,
-
When I prepared the offer I pulled Tax records from both the MRIS data base and the DC recorder data base , The deed was recorded in 1973 which would have made William H Coates 24 years old. The email July 29 2021 shows Jr.
-
I spoke to Bennie Coates on the phone October 16 2021 To my knowledge we meet at 1831 12th Street NW for a walk thru of the property, We discussed the buyers and the offer He provided his email address
-
I sent the offer to buyer they reviewed and signed, I discussed the commission and at that time William was sick Bennie mentioned the day before it sounded like he had covid ,
-
I emailed Bennie said I wanted to walk thru with him where William would sign 445 pm. I was leaving for Europe,
-
We discussed the offer that I emailed him at 4 45 pm then I had sent over to Bennie by email
-
I had discussed a number with Bennie prior but did not formalize ,
-
cash to family was just a expression "My reference to ‘family’ was never meant to imply any contractual or legal obligation to divide funds.
-
Bennie mad reference to family health issues which had caused delays in signing the offer
-
We discussed meeting at my office William Coates and Bennie,
-
I sent the offer to the buyers and subsequently sent to the title company,
-
The meeting lasted 1.5 hours This was the first meeting I had of William Coates . I reviewed all pages of the offer and asked after each paragraph if there were questions and William said no he was listening and observed nothing unusual. He brought a death certificate his DL and ?
-
Dupont title indicated William was on Title first time ,
-
I had a 4 minute call with Bennie Coates at 4:49 pm then a follow call he made at 5:10 pm. This would have been before the POA and around time for the name change addendum
-
I went to the office collected 2 copies then I went to Bennie Coates home and I delivered two copies and showed him were William was to sign and explained I was happy to go with him, I forget the exact time but I went to my office around 1100 am to pick up then drove to Bennie home meet him outside the gate of his complex,
-
at 6:43 pm I suggested that Ali call both brothers and perhaps go to William house for signatures,
-
I was trying to figure out with Bennie how we could meet at Dupont Title office, Bennie did not mention at this time his brother was sick,
-
William Coates was taken to the hospital on January 12 2022 Bennie did not give specifics on his illness , I discussed with Ali Dupont title about a POA.
-
Ali spoke to Bennie and sent email to Bennie for the POA. Ali stated that William is not doing well but did not add any details,
-
I suggested to Ali to speak to Bennie around 11:00am .
-
We do not know what exact date William got home , That said he must have been there before the 18th I would assume the hospital records will indicate date of release,
-
William signed POA January 18 2022 per the document and the signature does match William other signature, I do not know where Bennie got Lawerence Jimmy Jones Jr. He is not in my phone . I have 2 to 3 remote notaries again I truly do not recall if I gave William those names , I do not have any text or phone call logs for January 2022 so I cannot track calls or emails ,
-
Lawrence Jones at 301 952 5021 I DID NOT CONFIRM THIS NUMBER
-
I ask Ali to reach out to William . I suggest and state ..we are better off ....again for Dupont title to go to William Coates home to sign papers.
-
Ali apparently spoke with Bennie the phone January 18 2022 I assume before 2:30 pm to try to nail down a date time for settlement
-
400 pm William indicated that the POA was signed unsure of the notary
-
I asked Ali to call me again I do not recall the nature of the phone call with Bennie, I do not have access to text as discussed , I do not have the phone bills for January 7 to February 7 2022, T mobile has not sent to me,
-
It was an obvious miscommunication with Bennie for the POA was signed January 18 2022,
-
Victor Sousa performed the settlement
-
Victor name was given to me by Dupont Title on January 21 2022 1.36PM 402-210 8345
