Real Estate Agent Negligence 

Real Estate Agent Negligence Attorney

Serving Homeowners in Los Angeles and San Francisco

Real estate agent negligence is a form of professional malpractice. You may have a valid case against a seller or a real estate agent if either party failed to inform you about a material fact involving the property that you purchased. Contact a lawyer at the Law Offices of Kenny Tan to discuss your potential real estate agent negligence case.

Did your real estate agent fail to disclose an important fact about a property?

A real estate agent has a duty to do a proper visual inspection of a property and to reveal any obvious defects to a buyer before closing. A seller's agent must also disclose the following:

• Property conditions
• Homeowners' association dues that a buyer will be responsible for
• Potential conflicts of interest
• Financial gain that the agent received from a third party, such a kickback from an escrow agent or title agent

At the Law Offices of Kenny Tan, we advise, assist and represent buyers of real estate in civil actions involving real estate negligence.

Real estate agent negligence and fraud are on the rise

The number of real estate licensees in California has risen dramatically in recent years. As real-estate agents are paid on commission, it is in their best financial interests to see to it that a deal goes through. We often hear of cases in which the judgment of the real estate agent may have been clouded by this incentive to close a deal.

Timely real estate negligence claims are recommended

The Law Offices of Kenny Tan offers hope to victims of real estate agent fraud and negligence. We assist individuals in filing fraud claims. After a judgment for fraud has been obtained, these claims may be sought and paid from the Real Estate Recovery Account, which operates through the state of California's Department of Real Estate (DRE). Through the Real Estate Recovery Account, victims of real estate agent fraud may be compensated at a rate of up to $20,000 per transaction, with a lifetime maximum of $100,000 per real estate licensee.
