Confidential

Facts

The plaintiffs purchased a single family home from the Cohen defendants. Both sides were represented by Fred Sands Realty (now Coldwell Banker). Soon after escrow closed, the plaintiffs discovered major plumbing problems and water leakage damage, including mold. The plaintiffs contended that the real estate brokers failed to provide a copy of a termite report to plaintiffs prior to the close of the escrow. Broker Kaaren Kurtzman was dismissed by way of summary judgment on the grounds that she breached no duty to disclose and that plaintiffs could not establish causation.
