Sheree Whitfield’s Contractors Want To Band Together To Force Sale of Chateau Sheree

March 17, 2017 by tamaratattles 51 Comments

Day of her housewarming

If you are like me, these posts on Chateau Sheree are no longer interesting. There are only so many times you can post about Sheree Whitfield not posting her bills. This time, it is the company that put up her stucco facade.  Yes, the stucco facade from the summer of 2014. It’s almost three years later and the company has not been paid.  In May of 2016, Master Craft Stucco was awarded a lien on Chateau She Can’t Pay in the amount of  $26,586.41, plus $1,981.50 in interest and court costs. Essentially, Master Craft Stucco joined a long list of folks who have a lien on the property. Heritage Landscape Group of Flowery Branch recently got a judgement for $10,012.50 for the balance owed on putting in a front yard for the upcoming “housewarming party.”  It looks like I opted not to cover that one. Rodney Ho has all the details here.  There is also that Stoploss Company who helped her out in 2014 after the house flooded. I believe there was also a mold removal company although as of the housewarming party there were still signs of mold according to people who checked out the lower levels.   The bottom line is there are a lot of people with liens on the property including the IRS . Check out Rodney Ho’s story on the IRS liens from 2009 to 2014 totally nearly $350,ooo.   The point is, there are a lot of liens on the old Chateau.

The columns still look like this.

Which brings us to Rodney’s latest story on Chateau Sheree involving Master Craft Stucco where things get a little more interesting. Emory Potter, attorney for Master Craft Stucco told Rodney in an exclusive interview a few thing that make it clear, they are going to get their money. First he sent a sheriff over to the Chateau to serve Sheree in mid December. It appears the sheriff got lucky and went when Sheree was there, probably when she was taking those photos of the kids on the stairs for the Christmas cards. According to the Sheriff’s report,  Sheree told the sheriff she didn’t have the money on her at the time. And apparently that was that.

Potter also claims he tried to garnish her wages but could not find a bank account to attach. Um, Potter, she works for Bravo, you can get a court order and her wages will be garnished as they have been before. The money won’t ever see her bank account.

Finally, he says his next action will be to bring together all the folks with liens on the house and attempt to get an order to force the sale of the property. I did some research on that today, and they actually can do this. It is made easier by the fact that it is not her homestead and there is no mortgage on the house because Sheree and her mother paid the $300K or so for the foreclosed property on the site and then demolished it. The IRS will be first in line for the $350K or so they are owed and then the other contractors can take what they are owed and as well as paying for the court costs. If there was anything left over it would go to Sheree.

Stay tuned to see how that all turns out.

Thanks to Rodney Ho for his help in my research for this story. Read all of his stories related to RHOA here.

        That is because you care.

        Sheree it may not matter to her those are people that work for a weekly pay check. Those type of company’s often don’t have huge reserves of cash to fall back on. They still have to make payroll and pay suppliers.
        A lien is ok but it does not pay the bills.

    If she actually told the sheriff she didn’t have money on her, I’m even more mortified. Sheriffs don’t collect money.
    If she doesn’t show up to answer the interrogatories, the judge should enter a bench warrant, considering the amount she owes. These debtors have employees & vendors to pay!
    Agree they should try to send a garnishment order directly to Bravo/NBC/True Entertainment. It costs a little out of pocket if it doesn’t pan out and these companies give them the shoudler shrug, but hopefully by then they can haul her in for interrogatories and get either a bank account or her employer’s proper address and contact info.
    What a rotten peach.

    It would be a great episode to show Sheree losing the house to liens and just admitting she got in over her head and kept digging deeper trying to make things better. The audience would eat it up and the cast could pretend to help her get back on track.

    I’ve never understood why she didn’t just cut her losses and sell. Even if she had the money to pay her liens it would be too expensive to bring the home up to code.

      I have no idea what these companies are thinking either! Unless I have a long-term professional relationship with someone, our fees are paid in full up front. I will dissolve a contract with someone if they dont agree to those terms. Nowadays it seems everybody wants something for nothing and feels very entitled to such! Unfortunately if these businesses don’t change their stance on extending credit to any and everyone then they’re going to be the ones that are closing after they keep taking losses.

        Believe it or not there are a lot of contractors who only a accept down payments and maybe cost of materials and then collect the balance at the end. My ex husband did business this way and only once was he ever burned. We attached a lien to the property and a couple of years later we got our money. Maybe we were lucky or maybe it was his reputation as top notch for the industry but either way we never had problems.

          Sounds like you and your husband were very fortunate! We learned early on after being burned on a couple jobs for tens of thousands of dollars not to trust anyone for their word when it came to finances and business. At the time, 7-8 yrs ago, we were a startup and it seemed like a fortune to lose lol, thankfully we overcame those losses and several years later after we had become the leader in the industry we had our attorney’s sue them, win the cases with damages and had their assets seized to satisfy the judgements! If GA law is similar, than the Sheriff will be able to seize her assets like Tamara was looking into.

            DW – our experiences were pre 2008 and that probably made a big difference, too. Jobs were lost, the economy was screwy…work started drying up and he started doing other things…including finding a girlfriend and getting her pregnant, but that’s a whole other story for a different day. We split up and from what he tells me, he’s no longer making the kind of money he used to make. Which is sad because he now has 3 children to support.

        What do you do? If it is as large of a project as the Chateau (ie. electrical or framer, etc.) not a lot of people could pay for that up front. Also, I’ve known people who have paid up front – then the company doesn’t do the work.

        Paying an initial fee and then in installments from a bank draw, is typical.

        Sheree is a piece of shit for this – but I bet she owes other monies beyond stuff for the house. I can feel badly about her experiences with Bob but that doesn’t mean she isn’t morally wrong here.

        Oh…. if there was a clean up of the mold and it is BACK. Either the clean up company did a shitty job, or the damage was so extensive that there may be no saving it.

          We handle asset recovery as well corporate acquisitions and buyouts for major banks and law firms around the country. We only work with commercial clients now who can afford our fees up front, we no longer take on non-commercial clients for that reason. You learn very quickly what mistakes not to make again when you come across someone like Shereé who feels she can contract services, whatever they are, then walk away when the bill comes.

          I don’t think there was a clean up of the mold exactly. Stoploss just stops the emercency in progress which in this case was pipes breaking in winter due to no HVAC and spewing water for weeks until neighbors finally called the water company or something.

          I’m wondering if the insurance paid out to Sheree and she just opted to pocket the money and keep the mold. I don’t recall that whole situation at the moment.

    Knowing the laws are different in each state, my concern is based on my own state. Forcing the sale by a contractor vs the IRS is not the procedure. It is smarter, particulary with a property valued at less than market because this one is a tear down, to allow the feds to force the sell and recover their debt. This allows the contractors to continue their lien with the new owners. Basically, someone buys it for $250,000. The IRS goes after the previous owner for the red of their money and the new owner pays the last current lines.

    I blasted through all the seasons of Flipping Out right before this last season and if I was paying attention (and the edit was correct), Jeff would often times pay his contractors just materials, maybe a lil something to start and maybe payments along the way as they progressed but never the whole banana until they were done.

    So he’d have a little bit of that final payment leverage to hold over them to get them to finish. I might even recall him having issues with his “regular contractors” being slow to finish, no-showing or needing more money “for materials” before their agreed upon payment date and such. (Wonder what Jeff would say about Sheree’s house…)

    So if these contractors did all Sheree’s work without getting something up front to start & some good faith payments or payment schedule along the way, big “oops” on their part. They’re still owed, of course, but it’s people like her that screw over contractors, burn them out, put them out of business or make shit tougher for the rest of us.

    Good for these people filing a class action lawsuit. Fulton County, the IRS and the city of Sandy Springs should be able to force the sale of the home. It probably would sell for $500k as a tear down because it is so ugly, too big for the lot and structurly not sound. At most it would sell for $1million because people are desperate to live in the area and ITP (inside the perimeter) I really like Sheree but she has nothing going on except attacking Kenya about her finished, paid for house.

    That house was awful from the get-go. Too big for 1person, ceilings too high in entry. Looked like a hotel lobby. Cheaped out on the roof — should’ve done something in keeping with the grand French style she was going for. Some sort of tile or metal. And that odd rectangular building on the side? LOL. She reached too far, tried to be what she wasn’t and it backfired, plain & simple. Doesn’t have the money to finish, furnish, accessorize, heat, cool & maintain. I hope the contractors get their money.
