How do I find the current residential address of my seller so that I can file against them in small claims court?

I was the buyer. Of course I know the name of the seller from our documents, but other that that I have no knowledge of her contact information. Everything was handled between her seller's agency and my buyer's agency.

So now I have a pretty solid claim of material defect that was known to the buyer but not included in the disclosures. I have the results of an emergency condo plumbing inspection dated months before acceptance/closing of my offer. So it should have definitely been included as a known defect.

So how do I get the phone number and mailing address of the seller in order to serve my claim? Tax records are useless because she owns a dozen properties in the city, no idea which would be her residence. A private investigator quoted me $600 which is not worth it, the total damages I am seeking are $1400.

I only became aware of the issue a few months after closing when the building association sent me a final notice letter that I must fix all defective items from the emergency report by a certain date, or there would be some sort of consequences.

It just so happened that the same week I got the notice, I was already booked to move to Europe for work literally on an assignment lasting almost 2 years. So I had no choice but to immediately pay for the plumbing and leave the issue. But now I am back home, and still well within the time window to file in small claims.

Would her sellers agent be willing to put me in contact, do you think its worth asking? Or perhaps they have a fiduciary duty not to?

Anyway, someone please help me get this suit started, thanks!
