Question

In this particular state, real estate agents tend to inspect properties in order to tell their clients of any defects that the property may have. Katherine was Leslie's real estate agent. Katherine never disclosed the fact that there was a leaky roof and Leslie accuses her of negligent misrepresentation. Katherine says show was not aware of the leaky roof and should not be held liable. Leslie says that Katherine should have known about the leaky roof and disclosed the fact. Who is correct in this scenario

Answer 1

Leslie is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

It is the duty of the real estate agents to inspect properties properly before signing listing agreement or contracts. In this scenario, Katherine did not do her inspection job properly and if in this scenario, Leslie buys the house and finds out about the leaky roof, she is very correct to accuse Katherine of negligent misrepresentation, and thus should hold Katherine liable for the leaky roof problem.
