Harlow & Joe on Trial

The Bordello is Finally Sold!

After months and months of being on the market... the house at 1028 Stratem Court... the same one convicted murder's Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes once owned... has finally sold.

While the banks where asking for $365,000 back in September 2009... they wound up getting $377,000. It's apparently been "under contract" since late October.

The home was sold to Enriquez D. Veronique on 12/10/2009.

Under Contract...

According to the real estate website William E. Wood and Associates... Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes' former house in currently "Under Contract".



The asking price was $365,000, so it'll be interesting to see what the final amount will be... assuming the sale actually happens.

Perhaps this is one housing saga that may finally come to a close.

Update @ 11/02/2009: In the event anyone's interested... the current owner is listed as:

Owner Address: 3476 STATEVIEW BLVD., FORT MILL SC 29715-7203
Transfer Date: 7/13/2009
Document#: 20090713000800730
(Source: Real Estate Assessment Search)

It's an address for a Wells Fargo Home Mortgage office. Wells Fargo Bank was also the original mortgage holder.

Now You See It... Now You Don't?

Convicted murders' Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes' infamous house was sold for $573,434.00 at foreclosure, then re-listed for $415,000.00. Shortly thereafter the price was reduced to $399,000.00 and then to $365,000.00. (It's been hard to keep up).

The latest REIN listing is no longer valid, and reality company Long & Foster is now reporting: "No property detail found. The property is no longer active."

Did it finally sell, or was it taken off the market?

I guess we'll find out soon. :)

Update 10/09/09: There's been no legal changes mentioned on the Virginia Beach Land Records Site... nor has the house been re-listed on REIN. Looks like we're looking at a pulled listing.

Price Reduced... Again...

You guessed it... convicted murders' Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes' former house is still for sale, and now the asking price has been reduced again: $365,000.00

After selling for $573,434.00 at foreclosure, it was then re-listed for $415,000.00, shortly thereafter the price was reduced to $399,000.00.

At this rate, the banks may never get rid of this burden... they've already lost a bundle.

Price Reduced!

Seems that Harlow and Joe's former house at 1028 Stratem Court is having some trouble selling. The asking price has now been reduced from $415,000 to $399,000.

It's Back... Again...

"SOLD "AS IS" CONDITION, NO REPORTS AVAILABLE"

Not that Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes own it anymore, due to the foreclosure sale on 06/30/2009... but their previously-owned residence at 1028 Stratem Court is once again for sale: this time for $415,000.00.

MLS: 0929975
Broker: Long & Foster Real Estate, Inc
Disclosure: Bank Repo

SOLD!

As I mentioned earlier... Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes' house at 1028 Stratem Court was auctioned-off on 06/30/2009 due to foreclosure. Details of the sale are starting to finally trickle in:

Sale Amount: $573,434.00 (not bad since it was recently assessed at only $462,100.00).

The deed to the properly has been transferred to:

BANK OF NEW YORK TR
BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON TR
JPMORGAN CHASE BANK NA TR

Now it's just a matter of finding out who, if anyone, actually owns the property... other than a couple of banks.

Apparently More Trouble at the Bordelo...

According to Karla K. Sickerott from the law office of Samuel I. White, P.C. , Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes' house was sold at a sheriff sale on 06/30/2009 (There are currently no official records filed that show the transfer, or amount of sale), but that didn't seem to stop the City of Virginia Beach from obtaining a judgement for "Housing and Neighborhood Preservation Code Enforcement" on 07/10/2009 according to vblandrecords.com:

Defendant: Harlow Raymond Cuadra
Plaintiff: City of Virginia Beach

If I had to guess... it was probably an overdue bill for the city coming out to mow their lawn. Good luck in collecting.

Going Once... Going Twice... Sold?

Convicted murderers Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes' former home at 1028 Stratem Court will be auctioned off at a Sheriff Sale on June 30, 2009 at 3:00 p.m. at the Law Offices of Samuel I. White, P.C., 5040 Corporate Woods Drive, Suite 120, Virginia Beach.

Looks like the house saga is about to come to a close... assuming anyone buys it.

Update @ 06/28/2009: According to RealtyTrac, the estimated bid amount is $486,000.00... I don't see it, but who knows, stranger things have happened.

Update @ 07/08/2009: It appears the house did not sell... however I'm awaiting confirmation before making any kind of formal announcement.

Update @ 07/10/2009: According to Karla K. Sickerott from the law office of Samuel I. White, P.C. , the house was indeed sold on 06/30/2009. Now it's just a matter of finding out to whom, and for how much.

Remember This?

Harlow and Joe bought their dream house on 1028 Stratem Court back in 2005 for $542,375.00, but according to recent land records... it would appear that it was taken away from them on/or around 9/5/2008... meanwhile, additional activity occured on 03/06/09. Here's a list of some of those involved:

MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS INC.
CADLEROCK JOINT VENTURE LP
WPL VENTURES LLC
RICHARD T. CREGGER
BRIAN C. LARGE
WILLIAM T. HODSDEN
WILLIAM D. SESSOMS JR.

Ironically, William D. Sessoms also happens to be the Mayor of Virginia Beach.
