Happy Real Estate News

When Leon d'Ancona, President of IMS Incorporated, set up his company's new Happy Real Estate News website last month, he had no idea that the response would be overwhelming. "I think we touched a nerve among the battered legions of residential real estate agents and brokers across America," says d'Ancona. "Like them, I was weary of the doom and gloom stories in the media, so we decided to show people that there is positive, encouraging activity in a great many markets. I'm really gratified by their reaction."

The website - www.HappyRENews.com - listed 2319 locations across the United States (with annual sales of 300 or more units) where home sales figures improved over the previous month. As soon as news about the site went out, hundreds, then thousands of people visited, viewing page after page.

"Of course, everyone was looking for their city or county," says d'Ancona, "and if we didn't have the information, we got it. We are now updating the site every day."

This month, in response to visitor comments and requests, the Happy RE News web site has added graphs from major cities across America which show a significant decline in Days on Market over the last three months - where homes are selling faster!

The 73 cities featured (with annual home sales of 1000 or more), include: Atlanta, GA; Austin, TX; Chicago, IL; Mesa, AR; Cincinnati, OH; Kansas City, MO; Boston, MA; Charlotte, NC, East Bay, CA; and Las Vegas, NV.

"What many brokers and agents don't realize," says d'Ancona, "is that they can have access to this kind of market intelligence on their computers all the time."

The previous blog was submitted to show how much I can take before finally trying to get assistance on justice and restitution. Please review the case details and monitor its progress. Enough is Enough! Looking for any help on this case. If you know someone in the Kansas City Independence Missouri Area is a plus. I may have a need for other suits to be filed that currently are left unattended.

227 W. Southside BLVD Foreclosure Case
Independence Missouri 64055

Ryan C. Jennings
[email protected]

Introduction: I purchased this Indep. MO residence with a core belief in the American Dream. However, due to my nightmare of past experiences I must beg to differ. This dream has already been once, twice, and now three times stolen. This third case which I refer to as 56, makes three times of fraudulent activity that has victimized me to an extreme level pain.

I originally purchased the house from Chad Pfeffer of North Kansas City, and was represented by real estate broker Ahna D. Vaoifi of Common Ground Realty. Property Title is attached within this document. After a year at the residence I was in a foreclosure status. The first variable to analyze is that I was delinquent on my mortgage payments to (at the time) AMC Mortgage. However, there is much more to the story.

First of all I am listed on the title as Ryan C. Jennings a single female, however I am male. Next, my insurance company (Allstate) dropped me for an unsatisfactory roof based on safety. When I tried to contact Allstate they were unable to find my account. Eventually we discovered that someone had intentionally entered the last 4 digits of my social security number. The house had never been properly inspected as Common Ground Realty and Mr Chad Pheffer informed me of. They also would not provide me an appraisal as I requested.

I was one day away from closing on a refinance contract with STL Mortgage in St. Louis Missouri. I was only missing the appraisal. The evening before the scheduled appraisal appointment I was brutally assaulted one block away from the residence. Details are attached within this document below. But the person whom assaulted me supposedly helping me get organized the week before the incident. Latter did I find out he was related to the Foreclosure Real Estate Agent Lynn Tuala. Lynn Tuala was representing Exit Realty.

Several other variables attribute to my civil rights being extremely violated. I am requesting immediate assistance for council in this case.

The Case Petition document is attached within this document.

The threat is real. Life threatening Incidents List:

Happy on Gudgel: Being held hostage at gunpoint by a group of thugs. Michael Pyle AKA “happy” was the ring leader of a local Independence group of thugs. I had only met him once, however a couple of his associates were recommended to me for assistance at my restaurant. I owned Suzi’s Casual Dining in South Kansas City Missouri. However, shortly after I found out the reputation of these two cooks and restaurant managers on Brett something or other and Josh Hamilton I told them to get lost. One left a garage door opener behind. They informed me they were afraid of me having the clicker and to return it immediately. When I entered into the Duplex just up the street from HI-Boy Burger joint in Independence Missouri I was surprised by several gunmen coming in and immediately putting a gun to my head and telling me it is the last day of my life. They then stripped my Dodge Ram down damaging the interior and stealing any thing of value. More specifically a case of digital media storage cards containing evidence of a Jackson County Missouri Judge Gillis court case in which I was being sued by Zimmer Real Estate and SMJE, LLC of Suzi Asjes (maiden named Suzi Gotti). I was later told that they had a premeditated plan to kill me, cut my body up into pieces, roll me into a roll of carpet, and dump me on the side of the road. By the grace of God I was able to negotiate with them to allow me to leave. I didn’t call the police at the time of the incident due to fear for my life. However, approximately 7 days after the incident the Independence Missouri Police Department shot and killed AKA Happy after an all day stand-off. I then contacted a detective and he told me he knew of the incident and only had one thing to say. Justice has been served on Happy, and unless I had anything involving drug related activity to inform him on that he would not be of service. However, there were involved that they let go and are still free to walk the streets.

Tazed to death: At 619 E. 97th Street Kansas City Missouri 64131 Review vital signs of the incident. I was tricked by two bounty hunters representing Manny’s bonding company of Kansas. They lied to me and said they were brothers who had a grandmother moving to KC from Florida who really wanted my residential home at the time. I agreed to show them the property only to find my front door lock was changed but I still had access, and let them in the backdoor. As soon as I entered the house after them, one watched the front door, while the other pulled out a pistol and said don’t resist. I thought I was being shot, but luckily it was just a stun gun or tazer. I was still standing with the prongs in my chest while I was able to fight the shooter off. I then ran to the front door only to find out I couldn’t get out with a double key bolt locking system. I fought the two men inside for a few minutes and managed to get out side, down the deck, to the side of the house where I continued to fight with them for at least 20min. I was tazed many many times. In the neck, face, eyes, kicked in the ribs, and maced with a pepper spray. Finally my neighbors on the opposite side of the house heard my calls for help and assisted by calling the Kansas City Misouri Police Department. They then told the bounty hunters they had no rights to cross state lines on a non extraditable traffic bench warrant. And they then escorted me to an ambulance where I was rushed to the hospital.

Paddy Wagon – While trying to say good bye and check on a friend in mental trouble I had the police called on me. Her father had previously asked me to help her out in anyway. The week before I had taken her to a mental health facility in which she was immediately released after being orientated or examined for mental health issues. Her father met her there and called me thanking me for finally getting her to agree to check her self in by freewill. After a couple weeks of dealing with this relationship that started out an employee, friend, and at that time girlfriend, I had enough. I was saying goodbye and letting her know I was leaving for Texas to deliver some equipment sold on Ebay. After knocking on the door of this South Kansas City condo she called the police on me. She was screaming nonsense. I was then unjustly detained by KCMO PD. But like most of these situations, I had outstanding warrants. She had called them on me due to reasons I do not know. However, when the KCMO PD officer also knocked on the door and spoke to her, he informed me that my friend was in a mental state of confusion and was acting crazy. They agreed that I was there with good intentions but unfortunately had to be transported to Jackson County Detention Center. I was handcuffed and put into the paddy wagon fleet vehicle which didn’t have a seat belt. After a short drive, on the Grandview triangle, the driver crashed the vehicle. It felt to me like we were flipped about three times. I was injured with multiple pains and was asked if I needed an ambulance. I said yes. Several passer by’s stopped to see if we were ok, but the following officers in squad cars immediately told them everything was ok and directed them around the crash. I was then taken to Saint Lukes Hospital on the plaza where the officer didn’t let me urinate nor make a phone call to my mother. I wanted to find out what my medical insurance details were. They gave me a quick review and took me to jail. However, the strange twist is that prior to entering into the paddy wagon I argued with the officer whom recognized me from Suzi’s, for some hotheaded reason of mine I told them that I was on my way to deliver already sold merchandise and was only acting in good standing. They poked fun at me for multiple incidents that happened at suzis. I shouted at them saying, “mark my word, you put me in that wagon and IT will not make it to the Jackson County Detention Correction Center. I don’t know why I said that but didn’t think anything of it. Well it is my testimony to anyone willing to listen, you must becareful of what you wish for. My words of anger came true, the vehicle was totaled. And they had to call upon another vehicle to transport me from the hospital to the County Jail. I was trying to sell my products to make enough money to post bond on that outstanding traffic warrant.

Assaulted by a baseball bat – blunt strike to the head, mugged, and left unconscious in the street. No crime scene was given nor a police report of the assault.

Golf club beating: Being held hostage again and bound by tape by a group of thugs, Billy, Katie, and an alias T. Hit in the head with a golf club multiple times while others beat and tortured me for many hours. My conditions were given to me as follows: “What is more important, your life or this house?” I responded my life. This beating started approximately 11:07p.m. one spring evening of 2007. They told me that a mortgage broker and a notary republic was coming over between 8 and 9a.m and if I didn’t sign my house over they were going to kill me. I feel they were going to kill me anyway. However, a friend Chris Clark stopped by and distracted the group long enough for me to escape out the back door and stumble my way MyGrain Liquor where I was able to call the police.
