Family dream house become nightmare

Nasty, nasty stuff.....hope the real estate people do right by these owners.....
 
its not the realtors job, its the sellers job. But if a foreclosure, then everything is marked unknown.

I went to the police department to check the history of my house before i bought it.
 
Geez..thats scary! I learned that my house had drug deals conducted in here but making drugs, not sure. Nobody got sick here so far so *knock on wood*

No I said its not the realtors JOB....her job is to sell it and do papers, the legal binding is on the seller if they ommitt the info. The realtor doesnt know anything about the house other than what the sellers disclose.
Dont believe me, go ask a realtor ( I have friends and family agents and know this for a fact) otherwise everyone would be sueing the agents for the sellers faults.

Lets say you buy a new car from someone through your friend, are you gonna sue that friend because their friend lied? Same concept, they dont and didnt own it so they wouldnt know.
 
Only true way to know if the house was used as a lab is check through the police department, it will be on file.
IF there was ever a call there for drugs or other illegal activities.

Sellers are already required to disclose hazardous substances and environmental concerns in their seller disclosure statements, so they would need to disclose meth production based on those issues. As a real estate licensee, if you are aware that a property was used in the manufacturing of meth, or you have a reasonable basis to suspect that it was and the seller hasn’t disclosed that information, you need to disclose that condition to the buyer. Buyer and seller agents who fail to disclose material defects they have “actual” knowledge of can be held liable under the Real Estate Seller Disclosure Law.

I should check tmw as I am off just to see what went on here. I never thought of doing that until u mentioned it. I really hope to find drug money stashed somewhere! :giggle:
 
only way an agent will have ACTUAL knowledge of it is through the seller or police dept> How many check with the police dept to sell a house...NONE, they use a title company...Big loop hole there.

You are not getting what I am saying . That is not want I am saying ,if a seller and realtor decided not to tell a buyer there is something wrong with a house the buyer can sues both the seller and realtor. If a realtor KNOW t Yes, if I brought a car from a so called friend and they lied about it you bet my ass I will sues them to get my money back .

You could call DEA to confirm if house is used as cook the meth.
 
This is one of several reason I hate meth users! They cooked their brains to the point that they cant use it anymore, ruin neighborz, contamines shit all over and they dont even care. Sad!

DEA... forget weeds, get busy with these meth users!
 
Without an educated background in chemistry and physics, by all means they could be making something impure and potentially lethal. Anyone who glorifies a substance that doesn't belong in our bodies is ******* :crazy:

Yeah, that's understandable as it says if a real estate agent is aware of it, s/he must tell a buyer about it. So isn't it possible that s/he knows about it but doesn't tell a buyer about it because s/he needs a commission so badly? In post #4, you said it's not a realtor's job. Yes, it's a realtor's job to disclose it to a buyer honestly. In other words, a buyer can sue a realtor for not telling the truth if the realtor knows about it in the first place.
 
Still, it is hard for me to believe that the realtor didn't know about this or should have known. If it was discovered that the realtor did know, then is he culpable?
