The plaintiff purchased a commercial property to operate a hair salon.
She sued her real estate agent and his brokerage for negligent misrepresentation, alleging the agent falsely guaranteed that four specific parking spaces on an adjacent lot were included in the purchase.
The court dismissed the action, finding the plaintiff's evidence unreliable and accepting the agent's evidence that he only provided an equivocal response and promised to follow up with the listing agent.
The court found the agent did not make the alleged unequivocal statements of fact.
The action was dismissed, with damages provisionally assessed at $7,696 for the value of the parking spaces had liability been found.
