Ethics Case Interpretation
You Be The Judge
| |
Case #2-13 REALTORŪ Buying and Selling to one Another Considered REALTORSŪ (Revised Case #9-23 May, 1988. Transferred to Article 2 November, 1994. Cross-reference Case #1-20.)
REALTORŪ A owned a home which he listed through his own brokerage firm. The property listing was filed with the Multiple Listing Service of the Board. REALTORŪ B called REALTORŪ A and told him of his interest in purchasing the home for himself. REALTORŪ A suggested a meeting to discuss the matter. The two agreed upon terms and conditions and the property was sold by REALTORŪ A to REALTORŪ B.
A few months later during hard rains, leakage of the roof occurred with resultant water damage to the interior ceilings and side walls. REALTORŪ B had a roofing contractor inspect the roof. The roofing contractor advised REALTORŪ B that the roof was defective and advised that only a new roof
would prevent future water damage. REALTORŪ B then contacted REALTORŪ A and requested that he pay for the new roof. REALTORŪ A refused, stating that REALTORŪ B had a full opportunity to look at it and inspect it. REALTORŪ B then charged REALTORŪ A with violation of Articles 1 and 2 of the Code of Ethics by not having disclosed that the roof had defects known to REALTORŪ A prior to the time the purchase agreement was executed.
At the subsequent hearing, REALTORŪ B outlined his complaint and told the Hearing Panel that at no time during the inspection of the property, or during the negotiations which followed, did REALTORŪ A disclose any defect in the roof.
REALTORŪ B acknowledged that he had walked around the property and had looked at the roof. He had commented to REALTORŪ A that the roof looked reasonably good, and REALTORŪ A had made no comment. The roofing contractor, REALTORŪ B had employed after the leak occurred, told him that there was a basic defect in the way the shingles were laid in the cap of the roof and in the manner in which the metal flashing on the roof had been installed. It was the roofing contractor's opinion that the home's former occupant could not have been unaware of the defective roof or the leakage that would occur during hard rains.
What did the Panel Decide?
