@Michael Mastantuono , in a fiduciary state, an agent not working directly contracted with you owes you very little outside of not directly lying to you and informing you of material defects.

Exemption for properties less than 15 years old lets developers build condo-style rental units that can be rented without being subject to the new law and can be converted to condos after construction defect time limits expire.

What kind of property defects are common, shifting soil?

The company is Response Real Estate Education and we are looking for a real estate expert who could write a second opinion letter to substantiate that they did not provide the education/product they sold and help with our credit card dispute.My credit card company has requested "a second opinion on company letterhead from another merchant or bonifide expert that states how the service was defective or did not match the description of your sales invoice."

If buyer does not report a functional defect or damage to the property within 60 days of signing the Lease Option Agreement, any such item or issue not so noted shall be considered by seller and any other third party, if later discovered, as having been brought about the buyer, and not the responsibility of seller.

That's fertile ground for mass surrender and defections. 

Additionally, it is not uncommon for a defect to appear prior to sale and then need to be cured.  

So, if something were to happen at 6 months, at the move-out it would be caught because the move-in also shows defects. 

Anything evidence you have that counters her story helps -- for instance the times your handyman tried to correct the defect, and she refused entry -- strengthens your case and weakens her case. 

I would simply say your price needs to include curing ALL the title defects.
