My husband and I moved from Midwest to AZ this summer. We decided to buy a house and found a realtor that was a referral from a local agent friend. This guy was slow and a little off from the start but we had already signed. We found a house and after an accepted offer, started the inspection process. Buy the house, no problems we know of. Fast forward a few months later and we hate AZ. We decided to move back to our old town and my husband got his old job back. We list the house and it goes under contract quickly. Great! The inspection comes back saying we need to replace the entire roof. Which is crazy because we bought this house a few months ago no issue. We start asking questions and find out the same roof inspector was out before we closed and did a roof inspection and it came back saying the roof needed replacement. Our buyers agent never passed it along to us and never responded to any emails to roof inspection company. They reached out to him 5 times. We are now responsible for repairs and costs in order to sell our house, or buyer will walk. We reach out to the realtor and he basically asks questions then stops responding. Also, he sends us this text saying his wife left him during our buying process and he was distracted. Like we care or that would matter to us? We have contacted a lawyer and they said we have a open and shut case since we have all the receipts from the roofing inspector reaching out to our realtor. Also we never got the inspection report. Only a fabricated one our realtor did to make it look good before we closed. The problem is we are looking at a small amount of money. We negotiated with the buyers to split roof costs (we will pay $5k). I want to nail these losers that screwed us but I’m afraid it will cost more in legal fees than it’s worth. Advice?
