Q: Seller did not complete repairs agreed upon in signed inspection resolution document, but presented them as completed.
This was discovered after closing. Buyer was not given opportunity to accept or reject any changes in the inspection resolution document, but was misled into thinking repairs were made as stated in document.
A:
Assuming we are talking about a house, condo or other single family dwelling. If there was a full escrow, any misrepresentations should be considered fraud. If your escrow documents have signed provisions allowing or requiring mediation and/or arbitration, you should demand that one of those procedures be followed. You should find a good mediator or Arbitrator to resolve this matter. Good Luck.
