Saffie v. Schmeling, et al.

In Saffie v. Schmeling, et al., Court of Appeals for the State of California, Fourth Appellate District, Case No. E055716, dated March 7, 2014, a buyer of commercial real estate (ā€œBuyerā€) appealed, and the Court of Appeals affirmed, the trial courtā€™s ruling in favor of the sellerā€™s broker (ā€œSellerā€™s Brokerā€) on claims arising from a statement posted on a multiple listing service (ā€œMLSā€) that Buyer contends was false or inaccurate.[1]

In June 2006, Sellerā€™s Broker posted information about an undeveloped commercial parcel on a MLS, including the following statement: ā€œThis parcel is in an earthquake study zone but has had a Fault Hazard Investigation completed and has been declared buildable by the investigating licensed geologist. Report available for serious buyers.ā€ (Saffie v. Schmeling, at 3.)
