Whose responsible

[sue2]

Being sued along with realitors by buyer, says he did not know exactly what dimensions of the land was when he agreed to buy. Realitor did make an error on flyer advertisement, worded poorly description of the lot. Buyer saw lot blueprints and description before buying. Says his realitor lied to him.
Is realitor the one who should assume legal difficulties or does the seller?

Both real estate agent (listing agent) and the Seller are liable.
May I ask how the contract was written up without need for a certified survey?
How do you as the Seller know exaclty how much land you are selling and the property boundaries without a survey?

Even if the Buyer had the plans, legal description, info from the real property tax office, fact sheet, blurprints, permits, real estate appraisal, tax maps etc., these documents are not a substitue for a survey. You should be asking your real estate agent a lot of questions.

survey

This buyer waived having a survey done. One item on the complaint says he was told he did not need one by his agent, who he is also sueing.

Then I hope your Realtor protected your assets by putting in an as-is clause in the contract with respect to the land size. ie. Buyer has requested that the survey be waived therefore the Seller will not have a survey completed and Seller makes no representations as to the lot size, dimensions, location of property boundary lines, encroachments....

The Buyer should sue his agent for telling him he did need a survey. That Realtor is an idiot for saying that.

 

[sue2]

All lot sizes were on contract. One piece of land in back of lot which he believed he was purchasing was not included, and he thought it was. Hence the lawsuit. Dimensions of land are correct on all pieces dealings, but he not certain of what he was buying apparently, blames realtors and sellers for breaching contract.
