Agreed upon repairs not completed, escrowed closed and title recorded

contact the broker in your agents office

[Anonymous]

Your agent’s broker has Errors and Omissions Insurance which should cover this exact sort of situation.

Your first step is as sdrealtor suggests, notifying the broker. I would do so by telephone in conjunction with a letter sent by certified mail. Request the electronic receipt, it’s cheaper and faster.

Moving up the chain, I would then contact the owner of the brokerage while you interview some attorneys as to possible legal remedies.

Your case is very strong on the supplied facts.

You want to continue the strong paper trail you already have in effect.

Well, when the pool dude came out to replace the light they realized there is a kink in the conduit and it’s going to require breaking through the patio to find the kink and repair it, then replace spa light, then repair patio.e [/quote]

The problem you described is unclear. Why is the pool repairman messing with the conduit rather than simply replacing the light? Were the wires determined to be bad/shorted and subsequently removed all the way to the equipment? The fact that wires were successfully fished through during initial installation suggest no kinks or blockage. Further, electrical conduit cannot magically develop a kink lying dormant underground, nor is it possible to assemble with a kink as elbows have generous radiuses.

A blockage is possible from dirt entering at the openings during installation or seeping into a failed joint due to improper gluing (roots unlikely due to no water). You might try flushing out the conduit using high pressure water first. Another option is to rent and run a borescope into the conduit to pinpoint the blockage followed by contacting a plumber to inquire if a tool exists small enough to snake it. This may minimize tearing out the old patio. Personally, I would not tear out a patio for a spa light even if costs are recovered. I’m picky on fit and finish and the replacement concrete will never match the original. If possible, I would rather dig and lay new conduit and move the spa light as a last resort. Good luck.

How important is it to you to have a pool light (or lights)?
You might sent a letter to all potentially liable parties telling them that you can name them all in a suit totaling thousands of dollars plus your own legal costs, or….they could all contribute and come up with $1000 (or whatever), and you’ll go away.
I’ve done this sucessfully.
