Speaking to the Chicago Tribune, a Century 21 agent said that the Clausen family home in South Bend, put on the market in July, has been sold.
"It has an accepted offer on it right now," Kathye Currey said according to the Tribune. "It was for sale, it listed on the middle of July of this year. And it just went pending last week.
"Pending (means) the sellers have accepted an offer on it. It's sold. It just has not closed with the title company yet."
Obviously, a person isn't forced to stretch their imagination very far in order to connect the dots -- the family will no longer have a need for a home in South Bend because their son will not be playing collegiate football in South Bend after the 2009 season.
So basically, there's a very real chance that the Irish will head into 2010 with, at minimum, a new head coach and a new starting quarterback. Additionally, there's been talk that 1,000-yard receiver Golden Tate could be making the jump to the NFL as well.
So, again, aside from the money the Domers will be forced to pay to land a big-name replacement, what exactly is attractive about the Irish job anymore?
Its attractive because its still ND. I doubt any coach bases their decisoin to come or not by what level of talent exists. Its a rebuilding job for any new coach.
Maybe they can get someone they just turned loose from the state hospital. Carl Sling Blade might be a little less pompous and all he'll eat will be them french fried potaters, mmmm.
Folks should know that the only professions that guarantees their clients confidentiality are lawyer, doctor, and priest/reverend.
Realtor and real estate agent are not on that list.
If you deal with a realtor or real estate agent you are dealing with someone who can spread your business all over the world. If you deal with a "real estate lawyer" on the other hand your lawyer has a professional obligation to keep your secrets secret.
I believe that clausen should jump, however, he may want to hang around to see who the replace the current head coach, i mean "tub of shit", with.
leatherneck,
All real estate transactions are a matter of public record. So it wouldn't matter if they hired a lawyer instead of an agent, the lawyer still has to file the appropriate papers at the title office.
The only way to keep real estate transactions private, is to purchase and sell property using dummy and shell corporations. And that still is going to be in the public record, just makes it harder for people to trace it back to the individual.
I knew several weeks ago that Claussen (and Tate as well) would be going to the NFL. Makes no sense for either to return given how poor the team has performed and how high their draft stock will be (both will be Top 3 in at their position). The only thing I find interesting in this article is that the home was listed in July, that means the decision was actually made before the season or at least there was a strong lean in that direction before the season.
I HOPE THEY DIDN'T GET "BOXED" INTO ANYTHING.HE MIGHT HAVE A "PUNCHERS" CHANCE TO MAKE A NFL TEAM.MAYBE HE WON'T LEAVE NOTRE DAME WITH A "BLACK EYE" IF HE CAN WIN THE STANFORD AND A BOWL GAME.
Hail2ThaRedskins, reporters are too lazy to go through all the public records.
If the professional you hire is a lawyer, they won't squeal to the press about your business. If it's a real estate agent or realtor, they might.
Following this logic is a little to heady for me. Claussen's parents are selling their home in South Bend, so Jimmy must be going to the NFL. Couldn't Jimmy live in a dorm like most of the other ND players? Couldn't he spend his senior living with the greatest coach in the history of football, Charlie Weis? Don't you know that all ND players graduate? Prediction: If Claussen decides to enter the NFL draft, he will never play on Sunday. He will hold a clickboard for a couple of years. Since Claussen can't take a punch, Dancing with the Stars is out.
Hail2TheRedskins,
The sale only becomes public record after it closes and the deed transferring ownership is recorded. When the house is merely in contract, nothing is public yet (unless, of course, your Realtor opens her big mouth).
How is this a story now? The Realtor clearly states that the house was listed in the middle of July. They finally sold their house after it being on the market for more than four months.
As far as this confidentiality argument, how does one sell a house (or anything for that matter) if it is not advertised as being "for sale"? Do you hope someone walks up, rings the doorbell, and makes an offer on a house that may or may not be for sale?
Sounds like the Realtor did his job and got the house sold. Additionally, most states have paperwork that allows the agents involved in the transaction to advertise that they sold the property in question.
In response to Hail2TheRedskins, many states have standardized real estate contracts that have specific clauses pre-printed on them. One such clause in both Missouri and Arkansas is that the agent may disclose the existence of any offers, pending or otherwise. So if the listing contract has the box checked for disclosure of offers, the Realtor is well within his rights to tell anyone who will listen that there is an offer on the Clausen's house.
it's not a big deal. you know every person in the neighborhood knew it was the Clausen's house and a for sale sign went up, and at some point a sold sign would go up. anyone in that neighborhood could have tipped the local media off and it just spread. someone calls the realtor and shes answered questions that weren't all that private it wasnt like she gave a forwarding address.
i think it's a non issue
Newspaper retracted story on basis of "miscommunication with a realtor."
Obviously, embarrassing for somebody.
john taylor and pft and cft,
1. so, there you are, caught again intentionally posting fraudulent information on the internet with the specific intent of driving recruits and charlie and his staff and jimmy clausen and others
away from notre dame and to other schools.
2. since the chicago tribune does not want the civil liabilities for the con operations of brian hamilton and his media shill friend at the south bend tribune, the chicago tribune printed a retraction and an apology at our request.
3. what this all means for brian hamilton and eric hansen and the other media shills like you is quite obvious. their employers, along with us, are taking down every shill in the civil courts.
robertg - on a long weekend pass from the Asylum this week.
What about all your posts coming from the DUMBA$$ perspective robertg? Are they intentionally illogical and you just like to see your words of drivel in print? Or are you intentionally trying to other readers at CFT/PFT to not read anything you have to say?
What this seems to really mean is you are a Noter Dame lover and don't like all the diss on your boys brought on by a pi$$ poor coach and under achieving players with a defense that has showed up on twice all season.
