Phoenix Condo Drama in Clarendon Continues.  Is This Opportunity???

Early purchasers in the Phoenix Condo contacted me several months ago with complaints about prices and quality of construction and now about half are trying to get out of their contracts.  The original article on this subject after several owners reached out to me for advice on extricating themselves from their contracts while not forfeiting their initial 5% deposits of $20,000+ is here:  Sun Sets on the Phoenix Condo at Noon.

At that time the buyer referred to below, Joetta, had written me a long email to post that I later removed by the request of she and her attorney.  Here's the most recent update on it from this article in the Washington Business…

The Many Woes of Phoenix condo in Clarendon Village of Arlington VA

sun sets on phoenix condo in arlington

As I spent 22 years growing up in a swimming pool in Phoenix I've been looking forward to the delivery of The Phoenix condo for awhile.  While on vacation in July a soon to be owner in the Phoenix Condo at Clarendon Metro emailed asking me if he should take his condo or walk away from his deposit.  Then I got home and another soon to be owner who was scheduled to close the following week called me with the same question.  And he had $24,000 on the table that he was prepared to walk away from.  So persons involved (i.e. those who have put down deposits back when they were sold)  are saying there are serious issues there regarding closings, legal action, appraisals, etc. at The…
