Park Place Real Estate

It has been explained to me by the Seller that the reason she didn't disclose previous mold in the house is because she hired a contractor to remove it last year It was her honest opinion that there wasn't anything to disclose since it had been fixed I, as the Principal Broker, referred [redacted] to her own attorney because we did not represent her in the transaction For me to give her advice on how to pursue our client would be a violation of the fiduciary relationship we have with our client In regards to the water being shut off prior to the sale, I don't have any information on that matter I do know that subsequent attempts to find a leak by [redacted] have turned up no leaks in the plumbing Since [redacted] has questioned the legality of many aspects of the situation, it was only appropriate to refer her to her own attorney and let that individual and the representative of the Seller discuss options and solutions It is my sincere hope that both parties are able to resolve the matter

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because the seller was represented by her son - an employee of Park Place Real Estate - who was aware of the mold and was aware of the responsibilities to disclose the extensive water damage, and mold history of the house Regardless of if they believe it was fixed or not- this should have been disclosed at the time of saleThere should be some financial responsibility that Park Place Real Estate has in helping me to resolve this situation I've had to both pay for an attorney and pay to get this taken care of since the seller is not taking responsibility for failing to disclose Section housing records show that they had a major fail on inspections that there was mold A major fail would mean that the house was unhabitable and they wouldn't make payments to the owner until it is fixed The last inspection of Section showed that there was no plumbing in place in the downstairs bathroom The records show the owner of the property to be the same last name as the listing agent There is no possible way that Park Place Real Estate was unaware of this(I attached inspection reports.) The owner stated in email that she hasn't been to the property in years and her son handled everything He was cc'ed on every email that the tenant sent showing there was a mold problem and he physically went to the house to deal with the prior tenantI've had to pay for multiple inspections prior to getting these records on my own - and had I known of the history I wouldn't have had to do that The sellers agent lied to me when I asked on the first day I moved in about history of mold because my kids woke up with bloody nosesHis first response after I said, "Is there any history of mold" was "maybe you should check for mold." His correct response, that he knew should have been was " yes- and prior tenants had to leave because the house was unhabitable." The only reason that they didn't provide these records that it was "fixed" was that the work was not done correctlyIf they "thought it was fixed" why not provide the records showing it was fixed? Sincerely, [redacted]

It is my understanding that sometime over the past week, a mold expert *** *** was hired by you. That expert, coupled with an expert hired by the Seller both came to the house to assess the situation and see if there was mold. I have been told that the expert hired by you found that there was no mold present in the home. Respectfully, if you feel differently than what the professional you hired has told you, I would suggest that you discuss options with your attorney

Complaint: [redacted]I am rejecting this response because the seller was represented by her son - an employee of Park Place Real Estate - who was aware of the mold and was aware of the responsibilities to disclose the extensive water damage, and mold history of the house.  Regardless of if they believe it was fixed or not- this should have been disclosed at the time of sale. There should be some financial responsibility that Park Place Real Estate has in helping me to resolve this situation.  I've had to both pay for an attorney and pay to get this taken care of since the seller is not taking responsibility for failing to disclose.  Section 8 housing records show that they had a major fail on inspections that there was mold.  A major fail would mean that the house was unhabitable and they wouldn't make payments to the owner until it is fixed.  The last inspection of Section 8 showed that there was no plumbing in place in the downstairs bathroom.  The records show the owner of the property to be the same last name as the listing agent.  There is no possible way that Park Place Real Estate was unaware of this. (I attached inspection reports.)  The owner stated in email that she hasn't been to the property in 10 years and her son handled everything.  He was cc'ed on every email that the tenant sent showing there was a mold problem and he physically went to the house to deal with the prior tenant. I've had to pay for multiple inspections prior to getting these records on my own - and had I known of the history I wouldn't have had to do that.  The sellers agent lied to me when I asked on the first day I moved in about history of mold because my kids woke up with bloody noses. His first response after I said, "Is there any history of mold" was "maybe you should check for mold."  His correct response, that he knew should have been was " yes- and prior tenants had to leave because the house was unhabitable." The only reason that they didn't provide these records that it was "fixed"  was that the work was not done correctly. If they "thought it was fixed" why not provide the records showing it was fixed? Sincerely,[redacted]

It has been explained to me by the Seller that the reason she didn't disclose previous mold in the house is because she hired a contractor to remove it last year.  It was her honest opinion that there wasn't anything to disclose since it had been fixed.  I, as the Principal Broker,...

referred [redacted] to her own attorney because we did not represent her in the transaction.  For me to give her advice on how to pursue our client would be a violation of the fiduciary relationship we have with our client.  In regards to the water being shut off prior to the sale, I don't have any information on that matter.  I do know that subsequent attempts to find a leak by [redacted] have turned up no leaks in the plumbing.  Since [redacted] has questioned the legality of many aspects of the situation, it was only appropriate to refer her to her own attorney and let that individual and the representative of the Seller discuss options and solutions.  It is my sincere hope that both parties are able to resolve the matter.
