Purchased duplex, seller (who was the agent) hid many things

Michael Chalke
Posted

I recently purchased a duplex and the seller was the listing agent. After she moved out and I was moving in, she hid many things that I am now fixing/replacing. She placed wallpaper over huge wholes in the wall, light fixtures no longer work, she had huge rugs over the hard wood floor which have dozens of deep gouges and needs complete refinishing.  I have estimates of 7700 - 10200 in repairs. Attorney says it was an as is sale, and there's nothing to do.  However, she was the real estate agent and materially hid things from us prior to the purchase. These things are not something an inspector work look for.  

Any one have any thoughts on what I can do?
