    Status:
    Answered
    This complaint is around a $500 fee from a property management company at the time of closing the sale of my condo. Ultimately, the fee was not communicated in any way, and I had to learn about it when reviewing the final settlement statement sent by my attorney on the day of the closing.Attached documents referenced are as follows:1) The executed agreement between Prairie Shores and the condo association (Birchwood *********** Association) that I was a part of. Nowhere in the agreement does it mention a $500 closing/processing fee should a condo sell.2) Move Out Information Email Chain - This email chain shows that while other fees of a $50 moving fee and a $125 22.1 document fee were disclosed, the $500 closing fee was not mentioned.3) Closing Confirmation Email Chain - This email chain is between my attorney and I (and realtor) the day of the closing. This is where I realize via the settlement statement that a $500 fee has been applied (again, not communicated). It also shows my attorney agreeing that this fee is not usual.4) PSMC Closing/Processing Fee Email Chain - This email chain is me attempting to get an explanation for the fee from Prairie Shores. I receive one response and it's without an explanation of the fees. I am not questioning *any* other fees on the settlement statement (i.e. title fees, attorney fees, etc.). I do not anticipate receiving any further communication from the management company now that I am not an owner and they have my money.5) Final Settlement Statement - Towards the bottom of the 3rd page under additional settlement charges is where the $500 fee is shown.6) PAL - Shows the required $500 fee to be pulled at the closing.As Prairie Shores never mentioned this $500 fee and seemingly hid it, my expectation is to, hopefully, be reimbursed by them. While I know BBB cannot enforce this, I hope for this information to be helpful in your review. Please let me know if any additional information is needed. Thank you

    We did nothing fraudulent. He signed an authorization for his assessments to be automatically deducted from his account. We followed his instructions. When it was determined that he had a credit balance, not due to anything management did, we refunded his credit balance. He requests that we wire his balance which we cannot do. We issued a check to him.
