M. Monte Moser Et Al. v. Letha L. Jeffrey

The plaintiff purchasers of a residence property brought this action against the sellers and the sellers' real estate agent
for damages for false representations. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs and against the individual real estate
agent and the real estate agency for $1,750; and a further verdict against the sellers in the sum of $1,750. The individual
real estate agent and the real estate agency have appealed from the judgment against them. The sellers have not appealed,
and the judgment against them is final. On September 15, 1970, Clarence and Irene Wills listed their residence with the Jeffrey Company for sale. On September 19,
1970, the plaintiffs Monte and Judith Moser visited the house in the company of a real estate agent. They looked through the
house and, according to plaintiffs' evidence, were advised by Mrs. Wills that the furnace was in good working order and the
sellers had never had trouble with it. She also said she did not know what had caused some damage to one board which plaintiffs
inquired about. The board was located at one end of the basement where the ceiling was exposed. The rest of the basement was
covered by a false ceiling.
