Birds Make Good Neighbors

July 4th, 2009 marks the year anniversary of our house being listed for sale in Knoxville, TN. This is the story of how Frank Goswitz, Knoxville’s Remax, changed our lives.

I posted a similar post, at my (old blog), regarding Remax’s Frank Goswitz back when he was still our real estate agent. This was back in September or October, 2008. He demanded that I remove the post, which I did. We were just glad he knew how we felt about what happened to us. The fact that he found the post and emailed October 16th, 2008, was amazing. He must google his name daily for self-inflation.

He emailed: “Remove your slanderous blog immediately.”

This time, I am not going to remove the post. Two reasons why I am not, maybe three:

1.) Freedom of speech.
2.) People need to know what a dis-honest, lying, uncaring person Frank Goswitz is.
3.) According to the Tennessee Real Estate Commission complaint form, number 3 states:

Please be advised that all information you submit to the TREC will be a matter of public record and as such, subject to disclosure pursuant to the Open Records Law. In Tennessee, the Open Records Law requires that any and all documents received by TREC be made available to anyone who requests such files and/or documents. This includes, without limitation, the news media, respondents, the courts, attorneys and any member of the general public.

This post does not include anything different from the complaint being submitted to the TREC, which grants me permission, and a duty, to post such information on my website and on the internet.

Let’s get started. FYI: This is going to be a pretty long post, being both therapeutic to me and hopefully informative to anyone who reads it.
