By Kent Berk on January 3rd, 2005 in BLOG, FRAUD
Berk Law Group, P.C. filed a lawsuit for its clients against the sellers and their real estate agent for failing to disclose that the property was used to breed and kennel large numbers of dogs. The problem was discovered when the buyer’s daughter and grandson suffered severe allergic reactions to the home.
The Court found for the firm’s clients, and concluded that the real estate agent was 95% at fault and the seller was 5% at fault, and awarded the buyer the payment of $60,000, representing the difference between the purchase price and the value of the property at the time of close of escrow, plus attorneys’ fees.
