INTRODUCTION AREALTOR sdutytodisclosedefectsinpropertyhasnotbeenthesubjectofalegal updateforseveralyears.thisisprobablyduetothefactthatinmichigan,ithasgenerallybeen foundthatwhenrepresentingsellers,realtors havenodutytodisclosedefectstobuyers. Inanalyzingthisquestion,Michigancourtshaverecognizedthatthereisa commercially antagonisticrelationship betweenthebuyerandtherealtor representingtheseller. Further, the number of questions in the seller s disclosure form has greatly reduced the opportunityforasellertoremainsilentastoapotentialdefect.however,asdemonstratedby severalrecentcourtofappealsdecisionsdiscussedbelow,therearestillcircumstancesin whichasellerandhisagentcanbefoundliableforsayingnothing,i.e., silentfraud. II. DISCUSSION Plaintiffs buyers,whohavediscovereddefectsinthehousetheyhavepurchased, typicallyclaimoneormoreofthefollowing: (1) thatthesellerand/orhisagentmadefalsestatementsthattheyknew werefalse; (2) thatthesellerand/orhisagentmadefalsestatementsthattheydidnot know were false, but for which they nonetheless should be held responsible;and/or (3) thatthesellerand/orhisagentintentionallywithheldinformationthat theyhadanobligationtodisclose. Therecentcasesthatwewilldiscussfocusonthethirdtypeofclaim i.e.,aclaimof 2010 by the Michigan Association of REALTORS 51

FRAUD INTENTIONALMISREPRESENTATION Allpersons sellers,buyersandrealtors alike areliableiftheycommitfraud,i.e., forfalsestatementswhichtheyknowtobefalseatthetimetheymakethem.asrealtors mayrecall,ithasalwaysbeentherulethatinordertoprovefraud,aplaintiffmustproveallof thefollowingsix(6)elementsbyclear,satisfactoryandconvincingevidence: (1) thatdefendantmadeamaterialmisrepresentation; (2) therepresentationwasfalse; (3) whenmade,thedefendantknewtherepresentationwasfalseormadeit recklessly, without any knowledge of its truth and as a positive assertion; (4) thedefendantmadetherepresentationwiththeintentionthatitshould beacteduponbyplaintiff; (5) the plaintiff acted in justifiable and reasonable reliance upon the representation;and (6) theplaintiffsufferedinjuryinrelianceupontherepresentation. Unfortunately,overtheyearsthecourts analysesofthesedifferentelements,andthe weight afforded to each, has not been consistent. Many decisions have focused on the justifiableandreasonablereliance element.inmanyofthesecases,thecourtneverneeded to decide whether someone actually made the false statement or whether he knew the statementwasfalsewhenhesaidit.rather,thecourtdecidedthatevenassumingthefalse 2010 by the Michigan Association of REALTORS 52

InMinervTeasel,1forexample,thebuyersallegedthataftertheytookpossessionofthe house, they discovered that the property suffered from many defects, problems and code violationsthatwouldcostmorethan$74,000tofix.thebuyerssuedthesellersandthe sellers realestateagentonanumberoftheories,includingfraudulentmisrepresentation.the defendantsrespondedthatthebuyershadpurchasedthehouse asis andthatthebuyershad thehomeinspectedpriortoclosing.thetrialcourtdismissedthebuyers fraudclaimagainst alldefendantsandonappeal,thecourtofappealsaffirmedthetrialcourt sdecision.

4 b. NEGLIGENT/INNOCENTMISREPRESENTATION Often, a plaintiff buyer can establish that the seller and/or the agent made a false statement,butcannotprovethatthepersonknewthatthestatementwasfalseatthetimeit was made. These plaintiffs must proceed under a claim of negligent or innocent misrepresentation.aninnocentmisrepresentationclaimislikeafraudclaimexcept: (1) The plaintiff does not need to prove that the other party intended to deceivetheplaintifforeventhatheknewthatthestatementwasfalse; and (2) The plaintiff does have to prove that the parties were in privity of contractandthattheinjurysufferedbytheplaintiffinuredtothebenefit ofthepartymakingtherepresentation.2 Michigancourtshaveconsistentlyheldthataseller sbrokermaynotbeliabletoabuyer fornegligentorinnocentmisrepresentationbecauseoneoftheelementsforsuchacauseof action privityofcontract islacking.3aseller,ontheotherhand,doeshaveprivityof contract with the buyer and can be liable for even an innocent misrepresentation if the misrepresentationwasmaterialandthebuyerwasjustifiedinrelyingonthatrepresentation. However,becauseofspecificlanguageintheSellerDisclosureAct( SDA ),ithasbeenheldthataseller cannotbeliableforaninnocentmisrepresentationcontainedinaseller sdisclosurestatement.4 2M&D,IncvMcConkey,231MichApp22(1999). 3BeckvHillock,unpublishedopinionpercuriamoftheMichiganCourtofAppeals,decided July20,1989(DocketNo );HastingsvKniat,unpublishedopinionpercuriamofthe MichiganCourtofAppeals,decidedJanuary20,1989(DocketNo );McMullenv Joldersma,174MichApp207;435NW2d428(1988);MinchellavFredericks,138MichApp 462;360NW2d896(1984). 4RobertsvSaffell,2008WL (MichApp);BergenvBaker,264MichApp by the Michigan Association of REALTORS 54
5 c. NON DISCLOSURE SILENTFRAUD i. Background The failure to divulge a material fact, which a party in good faith is duty bound to disclose, may give rise to a claim for fraudulent concealment. This theory of liability is generallyreferredtoas silentfraud. TheCourtofAppealshasoftenstated,however,that meresilencealoneisnotsufficienttoconstitutesilentfraud.rather,apersonmusthavea dutytodisclosetheinformation,suchasinresponsetoaspecificconcernexpressedbythe buyer. TheMichiganCourtofAppealshasheldthataseller sbrokerisnotliabletoabuyerfor non disclosurealone.5michigancourtshavesimplynotimposedageneraldutyontheseller s agenttodiscloseknowndefectstoabuyer.thecourtshavesimplyrecognizedthatthelisting brokerrepresentsthesellerand,therefore,owesnofiduciarydutiestoabuyer.theonlytime a seller s agent may owe a duty to volunteer information to a buyer is to correct a misimpressionormisinterpretationthathecausedpreviouslyorinresponsetoaspecific concernexpressedbyabuyer. Astosellers,Michigancourtshaveheldthatinorderforabuyertohaveaclaimagainst a seller for silent fraud, the buyer must show that the seller actually made some type of misrepresentation.inthemcconkeycase,thecourtofappealsmadeclearthatthis (2004). 5McMullenvJoldersma,174MichApp207;435NW2d428(1988) by the Michigan Association of REALTORS 55

10 theirclaimthatthetherrienshadcommittedsilentfraud.thetherriensappealedthejury verdict. Indeterminingwhetherthejuryverdictwasappropriate,theCourtofAppealsfirst reviewedwhataplaintiffliketheelliottshastoproveinordertoestablishaclaimforsilent fraud. To establish such a claim, the Court held, a plaintiff must by clear and convincing evidenceestablishthefollowing: 1. Thedefendantfailedtodiscloseamaterialfactaboutthesubjectmatter atissue; 2. Defendanthadactualknowledge,i.e.,knewofthefacts; 3. Thefailuretodisclosethefactgavetheplaintiffafalseimpression; 4.

Whenthedefendantfailedtodisclosethefact,heorsheintendedthat theplaintiffrelyontheresultingfalseimpression; 6. Theplaintiffindeedreliedonthefalseimpression;and 7. Theplaintiffsuffereddamagesresultingfromhisorherreliance. ItshouldbenotedthatoneofthedefensesassertedbytheTherrienswasthattheyhad disclosedtheexistenceofmoldonthedisclosureformandthuswereshieldedfromliability under the SDA for a number of reasons.
