The Doral Property was sold by the Arbitrator, Resolution Resources
Corporation on April 30, 2003, and is contained in the Final Order (Binding Arbitration) of this
court filed December 8, 2003.
Bruce Ailion sent a Fax (below) to the court appointed Arbitrator, Raye
Rawls on March 17, 2003 stating that a nearly identical house (the Doral
Property) one street away sold for $600,000 with a $42,000 commission within
the past 45 days. Bruce Ailion indicated to the Arbitrator in the Fax on March 17, 2003,
that the Doral Property would not legitimately appraise
for $725,000.
Bruce Ailion states in his Fax to the Arbitrator on March 17, 2003,
that the Doral Property was not worth more than $600,000 with a full real
estate commission. Relying on Mr.
Ailion’s March 17, 2003 Fax, the Arbitrator sold the Doral Property for
$585,000 with no real estate commission on April 30, 2003.
According to the October 1, 2004 contempt hearing transcript
page 66 lines 21-25, Bruce Ailion gave testimony to Judge Adele Grubbs that he
has the Doral Property listed for $749,000 in August 2002. In fact
on August 26, 2002, Remax agent and attorney Bruce Ailion had the Doral
Property listed for $639,900. Mr. Ailion then reduced the price of the
listing to $615,000 when he transferred his listing to Coldwell
Banker on October 8, 2002 until February 15, 2003. The Doral Property
listed for sale by Bruce Ailion's for $749.000, expired in 2001.
Bruce Ailion gave testimony in the October 1, 2004 hearing that the
Doral Property was on the market for sale for $749,000 in 2002, when in fact
from August 8, 2002 up until October 1, 2002 he had it listed for sale for
$639,900. Bruce Ailion told the Arbitrator Raye Rawls according to
the Fax, on March 17, 2003, that the Doral Property was worth $600,000 with a
full commission and that a $725,000 appraisal was not legitimately
obtainable. Bruce Ailion misrepresented his actual listing price of
the Doral Property to Judge Adele Grubbs with a difference of
$149,000. He presented the outdated, expired listing document from 2001,
stating that was his listing in 2002. This confused Judge Adele Grubbs as
to the real value of the Doral Property during 2002 and 2003 and created a
false judgment against Marla Wright for Bruce Ailion’s true equity share.
Raye Rawls, the Arbitrator sold the Doral Property for $585,000 with no real estate commission on April 30, 2003. She was appointed by Judge Adele Grubbs to handle the sale of the Doral Property. Bruce Ailion indicated to the Arbitrator on March 17, 2003, that the Doral Property would not legitimately appraise for $749,000(he is not a licensed appraiser). Bruce Ailion confused the court as to the value of his listing at the time he had the Doral Property listed. This led the court to believe that he was due over $100,000 more in equity. Bruce Ailion knew the Doral Property would not appraise for the $700,000 plus price (see above).. Bruce Ailion knew the Doral Property was worth around $600,000. However, I was found guilty and ordered to pay him over $132,000 towards his equity (the difference between the sales price of $585,000 and the $749,000). This was due to Bruce Ailion's false statements to Judge Adele Grubbs at the October 1, 2004, hearing, that he had the Doral Property listed for $749,000. when he really had it listed in 2002 for $615,000 and $635,000.
Why would any person pay over $100,000 more for a home after it had been on the market for approximately one year for $100,000 less? Why would someone purchase a home that would never appraise for anywhere near that value?
The Georgia Real Estate Commission (investigator Vivian Chang) investigated the fraud sale issue and found that there was nothing wrong with my involvement with the Doral Property sale. I remained an active licensed real estate broker in Georgia up until the end of 2014 when I placed my license inactive.
In the transcript below (October 1, 2004 hearing page 66 lines 21-25) Bruce Ailion is testifying to Judge Adele Grubbs that he has the Doral Property listed by himself for $749,000 in August 2002. That is not true, in fact on August 26, 2002, Remax agent and attorney Bruce Ailion had our marital home listed for sale, 4488 Doral Circle (the Doral Property) for $639,900. Mr. Ailion then reduced the price of the listing to $615,000 when he transferred his listing to Coldwell Banker on October 8, 2002. The Doral Property listing of Bruce Ailion's for $749.000 expired in 2001.
Mr. Ailion testified to the court that the home was on the market for sale for $749,000 in 2002, when in fact from August 8, 2002 up until October 1, 2002 he had it listed for sale for $639,900. Bruce Ailion told the Arbitrator Raye Rawls (according to the Fax) on March 17,2003, that the Doral Property was worth $600,000 with a full commission and that a $725,000 appraisal was not legitimately obtainable. That amount was approximately what the Arbitrator sold the house for. Bruce Ailion misrepresented his listing price of the house to Judge Adele Grubbs with a difference of $109,100. He presented the outdated, expired listing document from 2001, stating that was his listing in 2002. This created a discrepancy over the equity in the Doral Property.
This confused Judge Adele Grubbs as to the real value of the Doral Property.

I was jailed for almost 18 months for contempt over an alleged fraudulent house sale that was sold in compliance with the official court ordered (by Judge Adele Grubbs of Cobb Superior Court) Final Binding arbitration process. The final Order of Binding Arbitration in my divorce was filed December 8, 2003. I was also jailed for back child support when evidence and testimony was presented in court at the October 1, 2004 contempt hearing, that I paid every month of my child support (see
child support post). Innocent of both contempt charges, I have yet to understand whether the arrest was to silence or destroy me. In the event of any arrest the GBI or FBI should receive records of any arrest. Cobb County Superior Court did not follow the proper procedures because there is no record of my arrest at the GBI or the FBI. The following posts will elaborate on this further.
Below is a copy of the contempt Order filed October 19, 2004 with regard to the Doral Property, the marital residence. Judge Adele Grubbs ordered my arrest and ordered me to pay my former husband $132,500 that he had claimed was his equity in the home.
The October 19, 2004 contempt Order above makes several allegations:
1. It states that the Doral Property was sold to a friend of Marla Ailion Wright's husband.
This is not true. Bruce Reich and Albert Wright were business men who made investments. They were not friends. I was not married to Albert Wright in 2003 when the house was sold. We married on June 26, 2004.
2. It states the Doral Property was sold for an amount grossly below market value.
Bruce Ailion, a licensed real estate broker, and a real
estate attorney, was co-owner of the marital property. He manipulated the fair
market value used by the courts, by listing the property himself through his
own property listing at Remax and with Coldwell Banker. As a Remax real estate agent, Bruce listed the Doral Property for $639,900 and then listed it with Coldwell Banker for $615,000 (with a 6% real estate commision). After the Doral Property had been listed by Bruce Ailion for these two different amounts over the course of eleven months, it was sold after the listings expired by the court appointed arbitrator for $585,000. There was no real estate commission paid when the arbitrator sold the Doral Property.
3. It states the purchaser paid Albert Eddie Wright at least $136,000 above the purchase price.
This is untrue. Albert Eddie Wright made an investment of $130,000
on a group of investment properties owned by Bruce Reich. The investment shored up the difference of the equity Bruce Reich had available (on properties he owned for many years in Cobb County and Hawaii) to place second mortgages on the group of properties and was never a reflection of the fair market value of a single property. While Reich became aware of the availability of the Doral Property at a local roller skating rink, through me, he was referred to the Arbitrator, Raye Rawls. There was not an inappropriate business transaction. This was later verified by both the Securities Exchange Commission and the Georgia Real Estate Commission, even though Bruce Ailion made professional complaints against Reich and me.
Eleven months after the Doral Property sale Albert Eddie Wright received $136,718.45 from Bruce Reich. The amount reflects his initial investment of $130,000 plus a approximate 5.75 % return on his investment from Bruce Reich eleven months later. There was never any amount paid to Albert Wright by Bruce Reich with regards to the sale of the Doral Property. The only profit Albert Wright received was $6,718.45, the 5.75% return that he paid taxes on in accordance with U S tax laws.

Check paid to Albert Eddie Wright by Bruce Reich - March 19, 2004
4. It states the loans against the current Bruce Reich loans are currently $330,000 more than the house sold for.
To my knowledge I have seen no records nor evidence that justifies this statement. I do know that Bruce Reich made substantial renovations and improvements to the Doral Property after he purchased it.
5. It states that Marla Ailion Wright perpetrated a fraud upon Bruce Ailion and the court over the Doral Property sale.
This is untrue. There was no fraud on the part of Marla Ailion Wright. contrary to what this court attempted to allege. The Georgia Real Estate Commission investigated and found I committed no fraud over the Doral Property sale. Click

Bruce Ailion to see his disciplinary history on file at the Georgia Real Estate Commission website.
6. It states that Marla Ailion Wright owes Bruce Ailion $132,500 for his true equity in the home.
When the arbitrator sold the Doral Property for $585,00 the loans against the house were approximately $525,000 had to be satisfied leaving a balance of approximately $60,000, less closing costs, taxes and deposits, which gave both Bruce and myself roughly $24,000 according to the arbitration final Order.
7. It states that Marla Ailion Wright had the ability to pay the $132,500.
This is not true. I never had the ability to pay the $132,500 and had filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy that was discharged in January 2004.
According to the
October
1, 2004 contempt of court hearing transcript below (referred to as the “Transcript”), Bruce Ailion, repeatedly gave false and misleading statements/evidence to the court about
material issues regarding the alleged fraudulent Doral Property Sale.
Documents below will prove that my former husband, Bruce Ailion, had access to information and made inaccurate statements regarding the Doral Property sale. I believe his misuse of the information was intentional with the dual purpose of misinforming the court and incriminating me. Mr. Ailion attempted to defraud me by misleading and confusing the court.
There are repetitive patterns, rather than one isolated instance where Bruce Ailion misused information.
Mr. Ailion fraudulently misrepresented information he was required to disclose regarding the sale and transfer of 4488 Doral Circle (the marital property referred to as the “Doral Property”).
According
to the Transcript below, on page 66, lines 21-25, Bruce stated "this is a multiple listing agreement, or a multiple listing record produced by Marla on -- or with Marla's user id on August 26, 2002, indicating at that time the property was listed at seven hundred forty nine thousand. And it was listed by me at that time."
This was not true.
Mr. Ailion, a real estate broker and attorney, presented an expired document and mislead the court. This Multiple Listing document ( P-9) had expired on December 31, 2001, and was not active on August 26, 2002. He gave sworn testimony during the hearing that this was an active listing and that he had the Doral Property listed for sale for $749,000 on August 26, 2002
This is Exhibit P-9
In fact on August 26, 2002, Remax agent and attorney Bruce Ailion had our marital home listed for sale, 4488 Doral Circle (the Doral Property) for $639,900. Mr. Ailion testified to the court
that the home was on the market for sale for $749,000 when in fact from August 8, 2002 up until October 1, 2002 he had it listed for sale for
$639,900. Bruce Ailion misrepresented the listing price of the house to the court with a difference of $109,100. He also implied that I had provided the document for the court when in fact, he presented the outdated, expired document creating a discrepancy over the equity in the Doral Property. This confused the court as to the real value of the Doral Property.
This is the active listing below showing that Bruce Ailion, the Remax real estate listing agent had the Doral Property listed for $639,900 on August 8, 2002.
On the Addendum To FMLS (First Mutiple Listing Service) Listing Contract below, Bruce Ailion lowered the price of the Doral Property from $639,900 to $615,000. This document shows that on October 1, 2002 he transferred the listing to
Coldwell Banker. This action was due to the upcoming ordered Arbitration hearing and Coldwell Banker had the listing from October 1, 2002,
until February 15, 2003.
Below on Transcript page 54, lines 5-11, Bruce Ailion falsely
stated that the purchaser, Bruce Reich and I (Marla), had him terminate the listing with the
current listing agent (Coldwell Banker).
This is not true.
The listing agreement with Coldwell Banker expired on February 15, 2003. The Purchase and Sale Agreement (below) for the sale of 4488 Doral Circle was signed February 27, 2003, twelve days after the listing agreement with Coldwell Banker expired ( February 15, 2003). Mr. Ailion signed the listing agreement with Coldwell Banker and knew the expiration date of the listing agreement.
On Transcript page 54 above, lines 21-23 (above), Bruce testified that the Doral Property’s contract had expired and that the buyer (Bruce Reich) did not close, and there was no contract at the time.
This is not true.
The purchaser Mr. Reich did close on April 30, 2003. The two documents below prove the contract was extended and signed by Mr. Ailion and me. On April 30, 2003 Mr. Ailion signed the Amendment To Change Closing Date below, at the closing, and the purchaser closed and purchased the Doral Property.
The document below show that on April 30, 2003, Bruce and Marla Ailion were at the closing and signed an Amendment to Change Closing/Possession Date
(Amendment #1 below). This extended the Purchase and Sale contract date so that purchaser Mr. Reich could close on that day.
.
The HUD-1 Settlement Statement below shows Bruce Reich closed and purchased the Doral Property on April 30, 2003. The HUD-1 also shows all of the Seller’s proceeds went to the arbitrator Resolution Resources Corporation. The court appointed arbitrator, Resolution Resources Corporation, represented by Raye Rawls, sold the Doral Property and received all proceeds from the sale.
The Doral Property had been listed for $639,900 by Bruce Ailion from August 2002 until October 1, 2002 and for $615,000 by Coldwell Banker from October 1, 2002 until February 15, 2003. The last listed sales price of $615,000 (from October 1, 2002 until February 15, 2003) included a real estate commission of 6% or $36,900 with a net of $578,100. On April 30, 2003 Bruce Reich purchased the Doral Property from the Arbitrator Raye Rawls (Resolution Resources Corporation), for
$585,000 with no real estate commission.
Bruce Ailion falsely testified in the Transcript on
page 67 (below) lines 12-13, that he only received fifteen hundred dollars from the
sale of Doral Property from the Arbitrator.
This is not true.
According to the Final Order below (of Binding Arbitration) filed
December 8, 2003, Bruce Ailion received a net of $2,746.04 after his fees and
expenses were deducted from the total amount of $24,076.04 - a $1,246.04 difference.
On page 58 of the Transcript below, lines 16-18, Bruce Ailion
testified that Marla’s current husband (Albert Eddie Wright) received a hundred
and thirty thousand dollars, contemporaneous* with the closing on April 30, 2003, not reflected on the HUD-1 Settlement Statement. Bruce Ailion implied that Albert Wright had criminal intentions in regards to his investment with Bruce Reich and that I colluded with him to illegally profit from the sale of the Doral Property.
This is not true.
Albert Eddie Wright did not receive $130,000 at the closing. He made an investment with Bruce Reich and did not see a return on his investment for eleven months. The mutual investment involved multiple properties with an approximate 5.75% return approximately eleven months later.
*(Note: according to the free dictionary contemporaneous means originating, existing, or happening during the same period of time.)
Bruce Ailion's attorney David Stahl asked the question on page 62 below, lines 10-11, “Now, as a real estate broker, what would that deed tell you?" On page 62 below of the Transcript, lines 12-14, Bruce Ailion answered, “It would tell me that a hundred and thirty thousand dollars was to be
received by Albert Eddie Wright if this deed is satisfied".
On page 62 below lines 23-24 Bruce Ailion states "well actually a note for that, this has been subsequently satisfied in the public record". Bruce Ailion doesn't state that the notes were satisfied approximately eleven months later according to the public record, in March 2004 and filed in April 2004. Bruce Ailion is inconsistent with his earlier false testimony when he stated on
page 58 above, lines 16-18, of the Transcript that Albert Eddie Wright received
$130,000 contemporaneous with the closing.
Below is a copy of the filed Deeds to Secure Debt (or notes) that were satisfied on March 19, 2004 and filed on April 5, 2004 in Cobb County and March 20, 2004 in Hawaii where some of the investment properties existed. Bruce Ailion falsely testified that this note was satisfied contemporaneous (or the same time) with the closing on April 30, 2003.
The Doral Property had been listed on the market for sale by Bruce Ailion for over eleven months for $639,900 and $615,000. Bruce Reich paid $585,000 for the Doral Property with no real estate commission. This was close to the last listed sales price of $615,000 with a six percent real estate commission. Bruce Reich paid a fair and reasonable price for a property that had been listed on the market for sale for almost one year. It makes no sense that the purchaser Bruce Reich (a financial planner and Senior Vice President of National Financial Services Group, Certified Public Accountant and MBA would pay $132,500 over the last listed sales price. Albert Eddie Wright was not paid $132,500 by Bruce Reich for the Doral Property.
As a licensed real estate broker for almost thirty years, I have never seen a purchaser pay $132, 500 more than the listed selling price for any property offered for sale.Fraud Upon the Cobb County Superior Court -4488 Doral Property Sale Marietta Cobb County GAFraud Upon the Cobb County Superior Court -4488 Doral Property Sale Marietta Cobb County GA
