Landmark State Decision in RE Agency and Disclosure Law

[bearishgurl]

[quote=SD Realtor]I agree with UR. I have no idea why this is so landmark. This is a simple case of dumb and dumber. Dumb seller and dumber agent.[/quote]

Don’t forget, SDR, that this “dumber” agent was acting as a “dual agent” in this case; that is, she had a fiduciary duty to Buyer(s) Holmes, as well, who SOLD their house and closed escrow on it during this transaction based solely upon the representations to them made my Seller’s agent and also THEIR agent (Summer).

My answer is so what. The agent was lame and deserves what is coming to them. As I have said before a properly done PR will answer all those questions regarding liens and encumbrances. Agents do find this stuff out before the buyer spends a penny. Agents do ask their clients about this stuff when they take the listing. Any agent worth their salt already knows all of this information.

Don’t try to take one case and make it sound like the norm because it is not the norm. We have already been through this. You are sensationalizing and anamoly.

Ditto.

I am not a lawyer but I cannot see how this situation would not result in a lawsuit and judgement in favor of the plantiff.

I think that if anything is learned from this lawsuit it is that buyers should beware when they choose to work directly through a listing agent. I think that for buyers who are savvy and know what is going on then there may be some benefit as they can potentially try to gain position in a competitive bidding process. However if you are assuming your representation is going to be top notch then that is an incorrect assumption.
