Question: "I purchased a home and replaced the carpeting throughout the home. The carpet contractor told me that the downstairs rooms were actually smaller than what was misrepresented by the seller's agent by about 300 feet. What are my rights?" David's Answer: It is highly unlikely you can sue the seller's agent. This is especially true when most home sale descriptions ("listings") will say that the information about the house that is provided is “deemed reliable but not guaranteed”. This means it is incumbent upon the buyer to verify the square footage, usually through an appraisal. Furthermore, most agents have general releases in their contract. Lastly, this is the seller's agent, not yours, and so without evidence of deliberate and fraudulent behavior by the agent, you may not have a case. Got questions? We’ve got answers!
