Q: How long do I have to sue my realtor after buying a property? Information that he gave us was false
Information that he gave us on the property is false. The false information has just now become evident to us after 2.5 years of owning the property. Multiple facts that he gave us were false about the home's flooding history.
A: It is depends on the nature of the causes of action you intend on alleging in the complaint. If you are alleging breach of a written contract, you could have up to 10 years, but it could be less depending on your legal theories. That being the case, I highly recommend organizing everything you have in your possession related to this matter, including the purchase contract and any disclosures, and consulting with an attorney individually. Many of us will offer free consultations, and will be able to provide you with the opinion of an experienced professional that is tailored to the specific facts of your situation.
