I guess the ex-Mayor of Detroit isn’t planning on moving to his Tallahassee Florida home any time soon (even after he finishes serving his time in jail). The 4 bedroom, 3 bath home that the Kilpatrick’s purchased in June of 2007 for $430,000 is currently on the market for $399,900 with Gary Bartlett, a former television news anchor turned Realtor.
As a Realtor, I was just musing about what might happen if an offer comes in while KK is behind bars? I can just hear Gary Bartlett saying to the other agent, “Well, it might take me a few days to get back to you with a counter offer. The next time my client’s wife can visit him in jail to get anything signed is Friday.” That would certainly make for an interesting transaction. Of course, they will take care of such things with a Power of Attorney, but, still, I had fun musing.
Today’s Detroit News had an article about how happy the neighbors in the Detroit neighborhood surrounding the Manoogian Mansion were to have the commotion that came along with having the Kilpatrick’s as neighbors a thing of the past. Certainly the Tallahassee neighbors have been affected to a much lesser degree, though they might be hopeful that a full time resident will purchase the home.
Wondering if the proceeds from the sale, if their are any, will be used to pay off the $1 million Kilpatrick owes in restitution?
