Hi Debbie,
I am not sure if you are in PA or not but I know that PA and MD both have
disclosure laws than can quickly derail the sale of a house. There are
several questions you need to ask though: Did he know that you had horses and
were going to put them on that land? Would a reasonable person presume these
pieces of glass would be a danger to the horses (i.e. how big are they?),
other animals or people? And lastly, if he did know, can you prove it and are
you willing to fight him in court over it?
I buy and sell houses for a living and have had the strangest things happen
regarding disclosure. If, after answering these questions you feel like you
could win in a court of law...
- - remember we are talking about a court of LAW not a court of JUSTICE, big
difference - -
(and you feel you want to go that route) go get a second opinion from a lawyer
who specializes in real estate.
Good luck
Anna

Some state have disclosure laws. Certain things that are wrong with a
property have to be made known to the buyer. Usually it's big items like bad
well or septic or whatever. You could go on the website for your state and
see what disclosure requirements there are. Jean

Hi group,
I have not been here as I moved and have not been on computer. I would just
read the emails. But I have a problem. I moved my horse home from a stable and
my newly built home. The builder that sold me land and house was a friend,but
not a long time friend. Any way I moved in April and have my horse in just a
small sand paddock next to his run in barn that has been great. I put up the
electric fence and had a spot in front of that for him who is a three year
old.So I let him out and he was beyond happy. But I went to go and just walk
the area and pull some weeds and there was glass in one area then another
area. I have now picked out a bag of small different shapes and color glass.
My closing attorney for house said I can't do anything. Is this true?What can
I do?Builder said he doesn't know how it got there and it's not his problem. I
now see that I have it throughout the yard. I am a single person as I just
should have been more careful.But this guy has been trying to date me f or
some time with no success.He told me after I told him that I sit there all day
on weekends picking out glass,Good at least you are keeping busy and I know
where you are?" Please someone help. I cry over this situation and it's not
like I have money to legally do anything.
Debbie
