My wife and I were also victims of CAS. Our ruling is allowed to passed
around and we do not have a gag order so if anyone out there is interested in
reading a ruling from the most unethical company we have dealt with please
leave a note. In our case the attorney who heard the case who is licensed in
Minnesota agreed with my wife and I that we were not given the private sewer
disclosure form and he also agreed that the agent from Real Estate Masters
lied on the MLS by listing the home as a four bedroom home. It was only three
and at the hearing she told the attorney that she listed it as a four bedroom
to get interest in the home. The attorney for the broker called two days
before the hearing offering a settlement of $12,000 which with hindsight we
should have taken it. He told us that we could settle for $12,000 with the
broker because he was not the attorney for the sellers. He also told us we
could take the $12,000 and still ask for the full $23,000 from the sellers
giving us a total of $39,000 if we happen to win the case against the
sellers. I told him no thanks because it was not teh sellers fault the agent
withheld important documents. Needless to say the three year old septic
system did not have a drainfield the first spring we were in the house the
bathrooms would not work. DO NOT SIGN ANY ARBITRATION AGREEMENTS REGARDLESS
of who it is with. All of them horrible.

We also filed a complaint with the Minnesota Association of Realtors and they
blamed me for filing the complaint to late. We also filed a complaint with
the Department of Commerce over two years ago and never heard back. So if you
want to know how the housing market became the way it is and how Madoff and
Petters got away with ponzi schemes so long blame the government.
