I am writing to share a distressing experience that my family has been going through since the passing of my late mother in December 2022. She had invested with Kean Real Estate Group, owned by Andrea Peart Williams and Kemba Williams. Unfortunately, we have encountered significant difficulties in retrieving my late mother's investment from them.
Despite the maturity date for the investment passing in May 2024, Kean Real Estate Group has been unresponsive and has chosen to extend it without fulfilling scheduled interest payments. This lack of cooperation and empathy from Kean Real Estate Group has only added to our stress during this already challenging time. Their refusal to adhere to the original terms of the investment agreement has caused significant stress and frustration for my family.
In our efforts to resolve this matter, we have engaged an estate lawyer to assist in resolving this issue; however, we have encountered numerous obstacles in closing the investment and accessing the funds owed to us. Closing all my late mother’s accounts and investments has been a tedious process, with Kean Real Estate Group being the only entity unwilling to cooperate. This delay has significantly impacted the closure of her estate and finalizing her tax affairs with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), adding further stress on my family. It remains impossible for us to complete her final tax return due to this outstanding issue.
Our experience with Kean Real Estate Group has highlighted significant issues within the real estate investment sector regarding regulatory oversight and fairness towards investors. The company's refusal to return my late mother's investment after the maturity date and their decision to extend it instead of honouring the original terms and without meeting obligations point towards a concerning lack of ethical standards. Kean Real Estate Group demonstrates a lack of accountability, transparency, fairness and ethical practices.
