Claim Scenario:
A buyer of property alleged that he relied on the representations of the agent that the property was in good condition and free from major defects or damage. After the close of escrow, he discovered that the property suffered from water leaks, foundation cracks and structural issues. As a result, he claimed he had incurred repair costs and will incur future repair costs. The buyer filed suit against the agent and others, for breach of fiduciary duty and negligence.
