Janna Rankin Scharf, GRI, CLHMS, SFR - Chesrown signs The Club at Black Rock over to the bank

The Club at Black Rock on Coeur d'Alene LakeI can't say I was surprised to read the news reports that Marshall Chesrown has signed over the assets of The Club at Black Rock to Washington Trust Bank.  The Spokane bank is reported to have had $12,000,000 in outstanding loans to Chesrown's LLC.  The assets of The Club at Black Rock, namely the golf course and clubhouse, are reportedly to be valued well over that amount. 

The Club at Black Rock is just one more casualty of the dramatic downturn in the real estate market, and follows Chesrown's recent loss of other high-end developments.  Chesrown invested his own fortune in its development, and it has become renowned as a top rated golf course.

One thing I do know about Marshall Chesrown is that he is a class act, and I applaud him for taking the high road in this attempt to make the best of the situation for the membership of The Club at Black Rock and Washington Trust Bank.  He may be down, but I wouldn't count him out just yet...

You speak of so much you do not know and and have many typo's along the way...  MC did put his own skin in the game... but what you are not privy to is how much skin he got out of the game... Black Rock is and was a success and does not need to be going through what it is going through!  Everyone is hero when things are good but when things are bad...  I am all for Black Rock, not for Marshall...  Anyone who is a potential buyer at Black Rock will want and need more information than you can obtain.  Yes there are good buys but good buys for what?  Until the golf membership is resolved the property is worth zero!

Steve, hello again.  I am just a blogger making a couple of simple comments about a current real estate event.  I don't profess to have personal knowledge of the business dealings of MC.  From the news stories, it sounds like the membership is already at work putting a new plan together.  The property at Black Rock will never be worth zero.  Currently, there is much available and prices are lower than they have ever been.  As is the case with all luxury homes on the market right now, not just Black Rock, simply because buyers are so scarce.  But for the buyers who ARE purchasing homes right now, the values are incredible, as are mortgage interest rates, including jumbo loans.  Far from being worth zero, the current climate makes property at Black Rock a great investment potential for certain buyers.

Hi Janna, it looks like a beautiful area.  I agree with your response to Steve, above, it seems like there is great opportunity in the luxury home markets - they've been hit hit pretty hard in our area, too.
