Supporting documents, testimony, evidence of lack of due diligence:
- Pictures, video and a detailed list of damages from Kalb Industries, USAA and myself.
- Neighbors' testimony of the duration of damage to the property.
- Personal testimony of front yard's destruction and accumulation of trash witnessed during a drive by inspection in July (just a couple of weeks before the August "fair" inspection rating).
At this time, for obvious reasons, I request to be let out of our agreement without further delay. Additionally, I do not wish to pay commissions for the remainder of the year's contract, I have no desire to sell this property through Resys.
I have an estimate of damages totaling $7,324.25, which does not include Washer and Dryer repair and damage to the refrigerator. I anticipate additional cost due to supervision and personal affects of repairs.
Sincerely
James R Cutlar
