Thank you for your recent article exposing former Kirkland Councilman Bob Sternoff’s alleged unethical behavior. This comes as no surprise to us.

As senior citizens, we were in our 70’s at the time, Sternoff gained our trust and confidence and we decided to have him build a home for us, a decision we have regretted  every day since.

Sternoff, we believe is part of the reason we have been through a very stressful four to five years. The stress has contributed to health problems. We believe Sternoff overcharged us on the home and this is part of the reason we have had to hire an attorney to keep us out of foreclosure.

Sternoff quoted us $700,000 for our home but it ended up costing us $1 million.

We believe we were one of the “Peters” Sternoff used to pay “Paul.”
