update

Good afternoon Paces Green:



Patrick and Shaun have been working diligently to get information from Cartel and have recently contacted me with our first update for today, Monday, November 10. The good news is that contracts are rolling in as most of us have anticipated, but it has been somewhat of a logistical nightmare handling the sheer volume of paperwork and questions of the individual owners. Given that everyone has very unique and particular interests, some much more extensive than others, we’ve worked hard to make sure everyone who formally submitted questions has been contacted. To the best of my knowledge, almost all of the homeowners with particular questions have had positive, reinforcing, and fortuitous conversations with Cartel or their representatives. To be clear: there is still a game of telephone tag occurring with the last few people --- we have a few owners who have been out of town making this process particularly tricky.



As a side note and to add to the logistical/administrative nightmare, It also seems that some of the messages from Mr. Rohrig with Cartel (those containing the .pdf file we all signed) went into people’s spam/junk boxes (ours did and so did Shaun’s). There were some owners who were simply unaware of what was happening until late in the day yesterday or early this AM.



I have been told that they (folks from Cartel and/or their brokers) are creating a blog as I type to formally provide us with a forum in which we can all view information as it becomes available. I think this will be an excellent tool for each of us as we work towards closing on our units and will provide each of you with information directly from the Cartel folks rather than from anyone in the community.



Because of the late hour in the day, we expect another formal update from Cartel in the morning. I do hope, however, to have the blog information before too long so that I can send it out to everyone this evening. Again, the minute I get it or any other info, I will forward it along to everyone involved.



I have received phone calls and emails from many of you and believe I have responded to everyone; if I have missed your call or email message – please, please resend it. Shaun, Patrick, and I have been in constant communication all weekend and our hope is that we have not accidentally or inadvertently missed anyone. I believe that this message accurately represents the positive tenor of conversations and administrative processes that have occurred as a result of this final push.



Be well, and more into to follow…..

Tracy
