To the city government of Pigeon Forge, I live not far from your little tourist town and have spent a fair sum of money there over the years with friends and family. That ENDS NOW if you, the mayor and the city don’t repay this family for not only the full cost of that home plus the huge market value increase we’ve seen the past few years but for their time and reno cost that YOU Mr. Mayor sat on your deck and watched happen. You can sit back all you want and claim you had “no moral obligation” to tell them of the eminent domain swooping down upon these good and fine people but We the People know better. You sir are a lowlife degenerate by your actions, or lack thereof in this regard. Time to repent and do the Right thing. And God decides morals Mr. Mayor, not you. And he’s watching. The city has the money so that’s not an issue. Right your wrong and pay these people what you knowingly took from them plus their time and effort. And pray you still have a JOB come election time. Once this story gets out, and it will, if you haven’t fully rectified this wrong-doing, the good people of Pigeon Forge will unanimously vote you out of office.
Same here! I'm sure MANY MANY more would feel the same.
IN AGREEMENT!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have family looking to purchase a home in this city at this time and I am sending them this video to watch . Don't invest in Pigeon Forge !!
Bye Felicia
MA'AM IF THE NEIGHBOR KNEW THAT THE SITUATION WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, THE PREVIOUS OWNERS KNEW AND DID NOT DISCLOSE!!!!THEREFORE UNLESS THE PEOPLE CAN BS YOU, THE SALE WAS NOT TRUTHFUL!!!!!!
I think the seller and real estate agents conned this family. They took advantage of out of state buyers.
That's what I was thinking. The plans for the road don't happen overnight, there's a ton of planning and surveying that comes first.
Sure looks that way!
@@roadstar92220 That is one of the unfortunate truths about the South in general. The work will not be done in a professional level manner. The contractor will play innocent. He will also tell you that “ most people want it that way”. He just did what “ Most people like “. The inference being that it is you who had unreasonable expectations, he did nothing slipshod or on the cheap to put more money in his own pocket. If a Realtor in the South is selling you property of any kind never, ever let him know you are from out of State.
The closing Attorney failed miserably when they did a deed and title search. They should have know what was trying to take place and should have prevented the sale. The previous owners I bet knew and did not inform you of this.
Yea, I know this is old. But I keep seeing it. In do not know why everyone says the Attorney failed. What Attorney? She bought a bouse, theres no lawyer involved in the purchase of a home.
@@iamchaos1399yes there is. At closing…. Also deed searches should be required. Anything like this eminent domain plans should have to be disclosed or the land should not be allowed to be sold if there are eminent domain exists
Hey I can promise you Mr. Wear doesn't care one bit. He also built a house off Cole St. In Pigeon Forge and ran his driveway straight through my grandparents land without hesitation and never said a word to them. Literally directly up the middle of the land to build his house. My grandparents took him to court and since he is who he is the courts kept putting it off for over I'm guessing 15 years or more until my grandparents both passed away. Now my aunt has the property and there still fighting. So seen him first hand take away what someone else has owned. You guys will be in my prayers. Really hope everything works out for yall. Godspeed
Sounds like obstruction of justice at the very least.
Your Grandparents would have had to give him an easement before he could do that.
😢😢😢
Wow
Campground brings in more tourists than your dwelling. Money.
Mayor watched you rebuilding... didnt say a word... great character.
Sad but true
Also maybe the Campground investors/owners got a pay off or paid to have the road moved
( all speculation and opinion by me )
@@neverstoplearning7214 the mayor owns the campgrounds
@@Sludge73 I wonder if they happen to have a phone video of the Mayor watching the work being done.
How could the mayor look in the mirror and KNOW you are working so hard? That greatly speaks volumes. He KNOWS what is going to happen and STILL doesn't say anything to you? HE is as guilty as all of the those that lied, and turned a blind eye to your family. Shame on those wicked, greedy people. It's the love of money. They love money and have no integrity. It's not their family that is being swindled. May they reimburse you and give you more $$$$$$$ to help recover your cost and stress.
Thank you for your kind words. We appreciate it.
@@PigeonForgeEminentDomainthey need to pay you this is wrong .
If you were ever curious why our ancestors would do something as terrible as tar and feathering people, this is why.
It's unimaginable to think the real estate agent wasn't privy to that information prior to the sale of your home. Aren't real estate agents legally required to disclose information like this?
If an agent is aware of something that could adversely affect a property, yes they are supposed to disclose. If the original plan was for it to go through the campground, they may not have had anything to disclose. At this point, hard to know what everyone knew.
How did the title company not find this before the sale? Can't you sue them?
Yes, if you paid for a title search… a lot of people will skip it
@Jaxmusicgal23 if you get a loan, they make you get one. Why would anyone skip that, even if paying cash? Seems like a foolish thing to do.
I feel so sorry for you being in this situation. I know how you feel because I am going through the same thing in Kentucky. Judge executive, Magistrate and State Senator lied to me and kept a new road a secret until it was too late. Now it is dividing my farm. They have no conscience about it. Neighbors are going to put in a development and they want the taxes. This eminent domain law is not fair especially when it is used for financial reasons.
I'm so sorry this is happening to you as well. Are you fighting for your property?
My family is dealing with this too. We bought commercial land for our business and they snuck in an easement after the contract was signed. The lawyer, judge, realtor and land owner are all in on it and so they took some of our land to put a road through which in turn hurt our business. My dad has been trying for seven years to get the case heard and they keep continuing the case in court. He goes again in April, we’ll see if it gets continued again. Such crooked, greedy people in this world.
Guaranteed a few politicians helped themselves & their developer pals providing them monetary gain at your expense.
This happens all the time in TN. cookeville annexed people into the town without their say and all of a sudden they have to pay taxes to the city AND the county. No new water service, still have septic and all they gave them with trash service.
Not cool.
Do not rely on pressuring the Pigeon Forge officials to be forthcoming and honest. Obtain yourself an Attorney to represent you.
They have council already
@@1982MCI Good to know. The hired help seems to be rather ineffective.
@@sharondoan1447 that always seems to be the case anymore with anyone we hire doesn’t it! Let’s keep praying for this family tho and may they be granted council from up high that doesn’t want any money for his services!
FOLLOW THE MONEY!!! someone with big money invested in the campground got the change made. And someone with the city is all but guaranteed to be heavily invested in the campground or being paid off!
This makes me so sad. I am in real estate school now. I am shocked that this can happen to someone. I vow to never do business like this. Thanks for making this video.
So, what I would ask the neighbour? Did she get a letter indicating the road change, does she have the letter, will she share it?? IF the letter was sent out BEFORE you bought that house, indicating the change of road, then you have a case to sue the former homeowner, and the realtor (maybe both if you had your own). You (being from out of state), having no prior knowledge of the inner machinations of the town, were prime targets to be defrauded of not only your money, but your time! Yes, they had the right of “imminent domain”, but if it was used fraudulently, with collusion, to enrich some people, then that’s another story. And I would pursue that to the end. This group needs to be criminally charged if that’s the case. Finding a district attorney,to take and pursue the case, is another story. Sadly. We’re praying for you in Central Kentucky!!
She can also put in an open records request to get the documents. If they won't allow it because she is not a resident then someone in this thread that is needs to help her.
I would go after the title company , realtor and the original owner for this very expensive lie. I would also question why the city planners didn't say anything. I would also ask the neighbor why they waited 6 or 7 mos to bring this up.
How can they sale a house when this happening! Sellers/Agents need to be held accountable!
I’m in middle Tennessee and go to pigeon forge at least five times a year. This is so upsetting and so wrong. I’m so sorry! The greed is unbelievable
Sounds like a candidate for a law suit. If the previous owners, the realtor that sold it to you, and any others in the loop knew about this - and it would seem obvious that they did - you should at least be able to re-coup your losses, including everything you put into this place. It's called Full Disclosure. So sorry this happened to you, and I hope you have hired an attorney and in your suit, make sure to ask for attorney's fees to be included. It seems to me the sale should have been stopped before ever going on the market. At the very least, the neighbors, including the Mayor, should have told you about it before you started all that work.
Thank you for your comment. We appreciate it.
I hope you have an attorney. This is awful and I'm so sorry
It's called pure greed by the owner and realtor who sold the home to you without the full disclosure. I am so sorry for your problem. Who owns the campground????? Who got paid off???
Thank you for your comment. We appreciate it.
The NAPPY MAYOR owns it
Yes I bet someone high up bought the campground property and plans to develop it. That was just plain crooked and evil of them for selling the house knowing what they did and then to watch you for seven months remodel and not say a word, that’s disgusting. I would take them to court. That just makes me so angry. I’m sorry y’all are the victims of pure scumbags!
Crooked people, I'm sure the owner of the Campground has connections or deep pockets & probably both to get their way.
The city should of bought the property before they finalized the road.
Disclosure laws and title search should have prevented this.
If this seller knew the negative position your home would be facing it should have been disclosed to you immediately after the accepted offer you place upon the home.
It’s possible one or both RE agents knew as well.
This is where to start!
Are there not requirements for “ Full Disclosure “ at the time of the sale? Whoever sold the property, sold it illegally because they did not provide Full Disclosure.
We used to live in Tennessee, and a lot of real estate agents are really shady there… our real estate agent sold us a house that was structurally not right the supporting columns did not line up with the upstairs loadbearing wall and a foot away from it… no one caught it….
We did and asked why the floor dipped down in the living room…. We chose the inspector that our realtor suggested.- please never do that!
There was also structural issues with the carport and the roof dipped down where the carport and the house met…. And also, there was no separation between the ceiling of the carport and the rest of the house, that is illegal and has to be close off to keep animals out of the house….
There was also major leakage with the chimney because there was no flashing around it, and it was such a gap. You could see daylight if you went into the roof. The inspector told us before he went into the roof. He would meet us when you were done. We were young and stupid and left… he was not even behind us. He must’ve left right after us because he was a minute behind us.
We were young and stupid and didn’t challenge him ….
There was a 1 inch plus hole in the roof chimney and the roof because no one put flashing …
So anytime it rained water all the way down to the basement because the chimney went through a wall to my kids bedroom and was for heating the basement with a stove …
We were so pissed, but there was no way to go after them….
We had to fix most of the problems ….
We couldn’t afford to fix a few things, but the stupid lady at our house so bad she wouldn’t listen to us about the things she needs to fix and she just signed off on the inspection report with no repairs….
So when we sold, we lucked out, but we were so worried most the time we lived there .
Tennessee legislature in the state level needs to deal with this and local communities people over with real estate…
Wow. I am so beyond sick for your all. I hope you get justice
Thank you so much.
Hello, I’m your 869th Thumbs up. This is just completely Sinful!!! Unbelievable that plans were being made & yet you weren’t even spoken to about any of this. Sounds like major Lawsuits are in order!!! 😇🙏😇 Sharon in SC
Get your church and you to keep praying 🙏 to God for this injustice. Your you tube family will be praying for you. Thank you, for your story.
This is so very sad 😢 I am very sorry. Praying for y'all 😢❤
You’d think that these people KNOWING that there were changes to the road/house being sold, that they would have been A) sending you all a registered letter indicating that, BEFORE you started work and money on refurbishing it, and B) what are the next steps IN A TIMELY MANNER!
I prayed for you and your family this morning. I saw a comment that suggested that you have the house moved. Maybe you can negotiate with them that they would provide a lot and the expenses to do that.Unfortunately municipalities do this sort of thing all the time. God is bigger than Pigeon Forge!
Thank you so much for your prayers. I'm overwhelmed by the prayers of the saints. This is what God's army looks like.
People that own the campground property know or are a relative to someone in city government. Just watch.
Thank you for your response. Please watch part 2-3.
Welcome to Sevier County. If you are not part of the circle jerk, you are sol. They need term limits established throughout the county.
Thank you for your comment. We appreciate it
Not just Sevier County, This runs rampant throughout the South… I do love living in the south, but if you’re not part of the good old boys network, it can be an uphill battle to try to accomplish anything.
You need to put in an open records request. Sounds like decisions were made not during a public meeting which is against the law.
The initial plans for the road were shared for public opinion in October 2021, with the route through this property shown as an alternate. The folks in the video owned two other properties in Sevier County, TN at that time.
This seems to be a growing issue in TN .. ive heard so many stories of this happening to people and its sickening. I personally do not live in TN and this is one reason why. Idk who or how far up but from my view . Its not just a local thing.
Prayers for you and all those impacted .
I live in Nashville. Imminent domain has been used broadly in the city to take away homes and businesses (especially black owned businesses) that have been in families for generations to make way for corporate owned developers.
@brendamoon2660 Such a disgrace to such a beautiful state... All in the name of a few .. I don't even wanna get started.
May God bless your family and show something you didn’t see. Amen ❤
Don’t give up the fight! Get justice
Thank you so much. Help us pray for JUSTICE.
Absolutely unbelievable.
The real estate agent didn’t know and inform you? That’s awful.
This happened to our family. Its devistating. Hope 🙏 justice comes soon.
How awful. I hope you get justice
Thank you very much for your kind words. We appreciate it
Commenting, praying from OH and hoping for a good outcome. Take care and march forward!
The way the sale of your home took place was fraudulent. When that FOR SALE sign went up, everyone in town knew what was going on. They were quite pleased, I bet, to get an unknowing out-of-towner's interest. The homeowner dropped it like a hot potato for the next guy to take the loss! I'd definitely be suing the home owner AND the realtor, and perhaps the mayor for admitted nonfeasance! Get an Ohio attorney. (I live in a community that was literally maimed by the government, when they demolished much of the town to widen the river for shipping. They moved many of the homes to new locations. Can this work for you?)
Im so sorry this happened to you and your family. That house is no ways from the strip it should be worth a lot of money. Don't settle for less
Thank you so much. We appreciate all the support we can get.
Didn't the title company gave an obligation to notify you of this taking at tour closing? At rhe very least the previous owners should be sued for non disclosure.
What real-estate company sold you the property?
When our high school was expanded in 2004 several houses were moved at the community’s expense. These were two story houses with attics and basements. They even took electricity cables down all over town to move them. Even in 1924 several houses were moved for an elementary school. How did they not offer to move the house?
So great to see this as we are planning our summer vacation. Nashville it is! Even though it will be my second time visiting Nashville in 2024....
The Previous Homeowner and Realtor are on the hook… you need to find out what they knew before you bought it. Sounds like they knew… and didn’t disclose which is against the law… the city should give you “fair market value” for your property… which is based on tax assessments it will definitely be less than what you paid, but something nonetheless. You need to file case against the realtor, previous homeowner and city…. things will come out in court on who did what… and if and money from the contractor was paid to the city as hush/blind approval for the project… real shady things going on…
Ive been to pigeon forge twice. What a sh.....hole. traffic, every shop has the same stuff. Every restaurant tastes the same. Every mountain ridge has a cabin on it.
Its no damn different than Myrtle beach S 10:52 C. All shops sell same t shirts, hermit crabs and shot glasses .
And the same tasteless sea food.
Not any fun or relaxing at all.
I totally disagree! My favorite vacation spot. You can’t come there and be in a hurry restaurants and I highly recommend each and every restaurant. And they don’t taste alike.
My wife and I were married up that way and have shared many memories together. The last few times we were up there the area degraded to vulgar street vendors, pushy time share agents and a loss or representation of Christian values. We had boycotted the entire area and no longer consider it as a destination.
Look into the cost of physically moving the house. It may be possible. I’ve seen giant Victorian homes moved several blocks. Then you can still have your home, albeit on a different piece of land, but you could be able to recoup all that you have put into it remodeling-wise.
The house was torn down on July 1
@@fifipfeffer8552 too late then.
I’m so sorry this is happening to you! I support you, and hope you get more than what you deserve!
Thank you so much for your kindness.
This is Ashame only in America does corporate greed consume peoples property with no consequences. They squeeze hard working people out of their American Dream. I hope You find the Answers. God Bless. 🙏🏻
Thank you for your comment. We appreciate it.
I’d be on water tower with high caliber pow pow. I love my house. Never had one as a kid. Lived trailers and apt. I wouldn’t do that to anyone.Wife and I worked two jobs for a lot of years to buy the perfect house. You have my deepest sympathy,it’s like a funeral but worse.
Everything comes down to money. Someone knows someone connected to the campground and decided they could sacrifice your property so the campground could be developed and make money.
What did Title Insurance do, tell or disclose?
Why in earth did someone not tell you sooner?? The neighbors had to have known. The mayor should be ashamed! This is insanity.
It sure won't go through the mayor's😮😮 house or anyone like the governor. I hate that you lost your home. My heart goes out to you.
im guessing the Mayor must own or be part of that campground.. shameful coward .. stuff like this makes me angry
I imagine that they decided that the private home owners wouldn’t want to be right next to the highway anymore than they’d want to be flattened by it, and out of a house? A camp ground is pretty much the only occupied space that can be near major roadways and not see any loss of property value. Who knows. Perhaps the people behind the highway planning committee also own the campground, and saw an opportunity to expand even more.
It looks like it’s on a foundation and it’s a framed house. It should be able to be moved to another location. I’ve done it before with houses.
I lost my home to Eminent Domaine in Carteret County NC for the damn restructuring of Hwy 101in Beaufort, It was the only home my family ever owned. That was 12 years ago, I have since moved far away from any hwy thru fares, right next to the Croatian National Forest. They gave me 96 thousand for it. My neighbors next door to me got 125 thousand and had half the land. they are corrupt and do what ever they like and you have no choice in the matter. I was told I could fight but any court cost incurred by the State of N.C. would come out of my money after I lose and I would lose.
Sounds like she got scammed. The seller obviously knew this was going to happen. It does not make sense that this would not show up in closing. Sounds like there are a lot of people that can be sued. I would focus all my energy on filing suit on every single person/entity involved. God Bless
Whomever is developing that commercial property at about 266 Ogle Drive might have known that a nice new road would be coming through.
The road got moved because the mayor has no morals. He’s admitted that already. The mayor made those decisions and influenced the change based on his knowledge of the events to come. Had he owned this property I can assure his offer from the negotiation team would have reflected true market value
Sorry this happened to you! Politicians In Tennessee is for business only. This is why campground never got took. People in Tennessee need to vote different for sure. Seen this happen a lot.
I think you may have answered your own question. Unfortunately your home will only hold a small family as opposed to the campground potentially having 100+ visitors every few days in a city that's continues to speak on how much of a need they have for keeping up with the number of visitors they see daily. Places like this especially that close to the main part of town doesn't want home owners they want facilities that can turn over high numbers of people daily. Obviously none of it is right but buying a home that close to a continued
To an area that's continuously growing and meant for visitors and constant overturning of people I would be so terrified that this would happen at any time unless I was gambling on the fact that this actually would happen and I would be bought out. However even being bought out is very misleading and any research will show that they will offer u ridiculous amounts of money and they technically only have to give you an offer so many times and if you still don't accept it they will take it from you and pay u the original amount they 1st offered to you.
He watched you work for seven months mocking you in his heart. Evil, pure evil.
Maybe you should do more research on the previous owners. Do you seriously think they would have sold the property if they thought it was going to become very valuable. I think they knew the road was going to take the house.
The previous owner probably has connections with the mayor.
I wish she would tell us who the previous owner was 😅
@@BobSmith-tn2qp should be in the public records.
They need to offer the actual worth of the property plus salary for every hour of work each one of you put in there!
I can't help but feel like the realtor that sold this property to you didn't know more about the future developments in this area. Their the insiders!
This is shameful! Can you imagine how this would make Dolly feel? This town thrives on money unfortunately not on a family who loves the area enough to buy property there. I understand it’s a rental property but it is their property. What about title insurance?
The greed here is just disgusting. I am praying over your situation and having faith that Jesus will bring justice to you and your family. I’m so sorry this is happening to all of you.
Why didn't anyone tell them before they bought the house and why didn't anyone tell them when they seen them working on the house. They should be refunded for every cent they lost!
At the very least, the Mayor's action is immoral and unethical.
I do agree with others. The seller and real estate brokerage should be held accountable.
Use this clear cut wrong doing by those in PF, the realtor, the home owner and especially the Mayor that knew and watched yet said NOTHING. They are all lowlifes and you should get at least two to three times your time and money invested on the imminent domain sale back to the city…which made money on everything you purchased locally for the reno. This is so wrong what he and the city did I can’t even get my head around it. If this goes to court, name your price.
Thnak you. All we ever asked for is what rightfully belongs to our family. That is it.
government corruption- find who got paid to keep the campground and ALL personal connections-who profits?
I don’t understand how they can tear down personal property that you hold a mortgage on. Were they going to pay you for the property and then tear it down? This doesn’t make sense. This is awful.
Sociopaths don’t care about anyone but themselves.
How can people get in touch with you,that are interested in supporting you.
Thank you. You can email me at mikarace@me.com
That’s ridiculous! You spend months of your life, that you will never get back! And they felt no moral obligation? Just ridiculous! Karma never forgets an address!
Aside from the fact that they had been fraudulently induced to purchase the property, they now need to hire an appraiser that will affirm the current market value and then the negotiators will try to get a figure close to that appraised value. They probably won't be compensated for their time in renovating though,
I understand their frustration, sounds like they don't have good attorneys. It would make this story better for us to know what their ridiculous offer was. Not saying leads you to believe it was for the market value of the house and property but they wanted something toward future lost income??
In Tennessee owners are typically given super cheap offers for immediate domain seizures.
Sue the previous owner and Realtor sue the city sue the campground. All real American patriots in this area should be standing armed gaurd over these properties until pament is made in full of todays market value.
What is the name of the person(s) putting in the campground???
Do you have a Facebook page or a petition to sign? I know that may not help directly but would be nice to get thr word out so more people hear about it.
Title search would have picked up on the “right of eminent domain “. Whoever did that is to blame. I used to work for an attorney who specialized in real estate/eminent domain.
I think the road layout changed because it came down to them making money from the campground to you making money off your house and they chose they were. . Still terrible they didn’t tell you beforehand.
Oh and Cole Drive and Cole Street was named after my grandfather. As you can see my Last Name is Cole
SO many critical details left out! This family should be paid the purchase price of the property, all improvement costs and all carrying costs. It sounds like they found a smokin' deal (from a shady seller) and expected to make a fortune as development grew into them. They made a point of calling it an "investment" and showing how much more valuable it was going to become. Sounds like they're expecting 10x payment from the city because they're entitled to they're smokin' deal that the shady seller conned them into. It would be common courtesy for anyone seeing that work going on to at least mention the eminent domain proceedings! I imagine the local government is overwhelmed by the rapid development and just handled the situation poorly and untimely. They should have a "corridor protection" policy that prohibits any development or improvements in areas they intend to build roads through. If the owners didn't get reimbursed for ALL of their actual investment, then that is wrong. If they didn't get paid for future expectations, that's just not how it works.
Sorry to see and hear about this tragic ENDING. The road was moved because someone had the power and money to get their way. The mayor knew, living above your home. There he sat watching you working on your home with the knowledge all the while about that road having been moved to accommodate the camp ground. So sorry this is or happened to your family. This world works on greed , power and the sin of all, the love of Money,!!!! Stay true to yourself and the God of his children will have these people, each one standing before him to answer for all things done in their life. Just place all your troubles at Gods feet and step away, he, and he alone will give you the answers you seek. May God bless and keep all your days.
Thank you. We greatly appreciate it.
Pigeon Forge needs to fire the mayor.
The mayor of the town watched you do all that work and said nothing? That's so messed up. I mean just the fact you all were allowed to buy the house in the first place, because the city knew it was happening then.
The previous owner knew. Sue everyone.
Seven months is not that long for a renovation of a whole house. I've been renovating by myself only and I'm on year four.
I hope you've sued the city, the real estate agent who listed it, the previous owners as all have failed you. The City needs to give you an offer of at least 1.5 million and it's sick that the Mayor watched you work on it and never said anything. How awful. Perhaps start a petition for recall based off of dereliction of duties. Also, do an open records request. Use key words and request all city communications.
Did you get permits to remodel the house?
Contact Institute for Justice
I am just saw this on TH-cam. I am not sure if you have a lawyer, but if you don't then get one. I see several law suits, broker, and the town. That is a HUGH tourist trap with losts of money.
So it wasn't a family property but a rental property? That makes it a little different? But the title company should be sued too! For telling you it is a clean sale? They should have known it was in that pathway!
So, the city was issuing permits to an address that was going to be torn down?
How is this legal?
I feel terrible for this family.
Pigeon Forge is such an awful place to visit, over taken by traffic and development, thanks Dolly Parton for destroying this place!
