I received an email from Sterling to say that they ceased operations on 4/30/2023.

I wanted to update that I did receive some of the money that was owed to me. Sterling emailed me to let me know that he would be issuing the payment.  I let him know that there was still some items that were not paid.  He acknowledged that it was true and that he would be making a second payment in a few days.  That was one month ago.  I have not received the balance and he is not responding to follow up emails. I just wanted to be fair and post an update...

I was using Ethosity Property Management for my duplex in Indianapolis.  I sold the duplex and had funds still on my account with them.  Both sides of the duplex were damaged by the tenants before they vacated and I was told via email that the security deposits would be returned to me.  The security deposits were never credited to my account. Disbursements were rarely timely but eventually would come through. Ethosity closed my online account several months after the sale and did not make the final disbusement of the balance that was showing....much less the security deposits.  In total I am owed around $2,500. 

I've tried calling, emailing and texting and have received no response.  I loved working with Melissa Davis (one of the owners) but I don't get a response from her or her husband Sterling Davis.  Does anyone know if they are still in business?  Do you have any suggestions?  I appreciate anyone's help.  Thanks!

How do you know if the title is clear and you won't be on the hook for other debts on the property? Do you do a title search on properties you are interested in prior to the sale?
