My partner and I purchased a home for $895,000 in 2021.  During the process and after we were harmed by $250,000 in Fraudulent Misrepresentation and Concealment.  Some was found during escrow. Much more was found after close of escrow. 

The fraudulent acts were committed by the Seller,  Seller's Agent, 2 Contractors hired for pre-sale fixup work and 2 pre-sale inspectors hired for representation statement fraud. But there's more.

All the Brokers and Licensees, including those on the Buyers side gladly 1) participated in a  long standing Fraudulent Transaction Document scheme which created a playing field for seller biased frauds 2) participated in the processing of patently incomplete disclosure documents which was a transaction specific act and  3)  turned blind eyes to the acts of fraud by the Seller's Agent and Seller as they became visible in disclosure documents and via inspections. 

All those who did the harmful acts on both sides of the Transaction clearly felt the the fraudulent release of liability clause put in play by the Fraudulent Transaction Documents  was going to protect them.  

This has been an open air fraudulent scheme for decades.  Many Attorneys know about it.  It was put in motion by Attorneys and it's being covered up by Attorneys. All Brokers and Agents with any proper legal training in contracts  should have recognized the fraud with ease.  

As of April 2024, we are passing a 3 year purchase anniversary which some may also believe represent the passing of a three year statute of limitations for fraud.  That's not accurate because at the time it all transpired, no attorneys would admit it was fraud.  We have until 2026 or 2027 based on discovery timing to pursue various parties for fraud, including our Brokers ,  the Seller's Brokers,  CAR and/or the CA Bar .
