REAL ESTATE SELLER'S DUTY TO DISCLOSE
Under California law, real estate sellers have a duty to disclose anything that affects the desirability or value of a property. Section 1102 of the California Civil Code requires a seller to provide a "Transfer Disclosure Statement." The Transfer Disclosure Statement, and other documents and information provided by the seller, must be accurate, or the seller may have to pay damages to the buyer. If the information provided is willfully misleading or untrue, the seller may also be responsible for additional damages for fraud. Unfortunately, many sellers in California try to avoid responsibility for issues with their house in order to maximize the sale price, will often provide inaccurate information, and will often cover up defects, only for the buyer to discover them weeks or months later. In these situations, buyers do have recourse, and the law supports recovery of damages for these types of nonidsclosures.
OUR FIRM AND OUR SUCCESS
Our firm frequently represents California homeowners in nondisclosure cases such as these. We have routinely obtained successful results in these cases, and we work with our clients to understand the exact nature and scope of the issues discovered, and seek damages from the sellers, real estate agents and brokers, inspection companies, and other parties as appropriate. We represent most buyers in these cases on a contingency basis, where we only get paid if the case is successful. We represent clients in all related matters, including mediation, arbitration, litigation, or informal settlement.
