The day Katherine Divitaris’s father died, he left her three small houses in the east end of Toronto. Katherine, 37, was unemployed and long troubled by mental health issues and drug addiction. Income from the rental properties was meant to give her financial stability.
Neither Gerstel, Katherine nor her mother would comment when asked to by the Star, saying the case is before the court. It was in her late 20s that, according to her mother, Triada, Katherine became unwell. Triada states in an affidavit filed in court that Katherine suffers from “serious mental health issues, including depression, OCD, schizophrenia, severe substance abuse addiction to oxycontin, opiates, and other narcotics.” Triada further states that “as a result of her mental illness, she regularly endangers herself and is unable to care for herself.
In her affidavit, Katherine’s mother, Triada, alleges that Gerstel went on a campaign to drive a wedge between mother and daughter, and convince Katherine to sell the home to him. Triada, in her affidavit, says there were multiple text messages from Harold where he flirted with Katherine. When a real estate transaction takes place, both sides are to have their own lawyer. Katherine’s lawyer when she sold the Floyd house to Gerstel was Peter Grivogiannis. Grivogiannis could not be reached for comment. Gerstel’s lawyer was Abraham Jonas, who was the lawyer on the Judy Allen mortgage deals. Jonas has said he will not speak to the Star.
It was at this point that Triada stepped in and “terminated” the sale agreement between her daughter and Gerstel for the Woodycrest home. She hired lawyer James Zibarras and a lawsuit was commenced against Gerstel, seeking $1 million damages for breach of trust, negligent and fraudulent misrepresentation, fraud and deceit.”
But Harold looks like such a honest guy
This is a guy that will buy your soul for a buck and has 100ds of homes on his living ass.
This has to be a case for police to investigate. Him and the renovator too and anyone else who was involved withy this scheme/fraud. Few years ago there was a similar case and renovator was put in jail for it. This case is fat worse and more money stolen.
If this guy along with Russell Oliver would take their constant and annoying TV commercials off the air I'd be thrilled.
