Defendant executed a promissory note, with a personal guaranty, and secured it by a deed of trust, in the amount of $5.8 million, to Trident Real Estate Advisors, LLC for real estate services. Trident sold that interest to our client. Upon attempting to collect the $5.8 million from Defendant, he later denied the transaction amount, arguing it was a $5.3 million cash loan. $5.8 Million.
