GM Files for Bankruptcy

I'm sure everyone has heard by now that General Motors ("GM") announced that it has filed for bankruptcy protection.

First, I want to let you know that GM's current situation has nothing to do with GMAC Real Estate The Kee Group. Since last November we have been owned by a new parent company, Brookfield Residential Property Services ("Brookfield RPS"), a division of Brookfield Asset Management ("BAM"). We are now part of a dynamic global organization that is known world-wide for its financial strength and stability. Brookfield RPS is a long-term player, deeply immersed in the real estate industry, and one of the largest real estate and relocation companies in the world. It is a contemporary, innovative company with a tremendous heritage. Through a number of related real estate operations, it has been a leading provider of services to the real estate industry since 1913. BAM is a global asset manager focused on property, power and infrastructure assets, with over $80 Billion USD of assets under management. What this means is we are strong, stable, focused and well-positioned for long-term growth and success.

Second, I want to assure you, as my valued client, that this will have no impact on you or on my ability to continue to provide you with the best Premier Service®.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you again for your business. I look forward to continuing our relationship and being of service to you in the future.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,
