Major violations of fraud, misrepresentation and failure to disclose serious problems required by the Commonwealth of Kentucky. My elderly sister represented me in purchasing a property represented by Ms. Williams since I was living in San Diego, CA and needed a place to live near my sister in Murray, Ky. I was attracted to a property listing where Ms. Williams made a major selling point of the property being 2 acreas in size. When I got to the property, I found the property to be only about 2/3 that size. I had plans for setting up a dog sanutary, among other things and I have been devistated by Ms. Williams inflating the size of the property in her ads. Although the property was purchased "as is, " Kentucky law requires disclosures of major defects in the property. Ms. Williams had not disclosed that the owner had caught one face of the building on fire and the local fire department had to put it out. That part of the building is in terrible condition. She did not disclose that the building had broken water pipes and had been flooded. That there was water damage in the ceiling in one of the bedroms. That the stand alone garage with garage door and 2 outlets in the front of the building did not work because the garage had not even been wired for electicity. The property cost a huge amount of money to just make habitable. This was just the part that was not diclosed and my sister had to pay for huge repairs for me to even be able to live in. My sister and I purchased the property together for me to live in. I was the person whose name appears on the deed. My elderly sister has a very hard time getting around and was very trusting of Ms. Williams who sold us a major lemon, hiding major defect and misrepresnting the size of the property. Had my sister been in better health, she could have seen the disaster that Ms. Williams hid. I felt the state laws would insure the property was safe to live in when I found that Ms. Williams hid important information.
My sister is 77 years old, has had 2 knee replacements and can barely walk. She was not physically capable to know if the statements she was pressured to sign off on were true or not. She told me she was pressured to sign off on a sheet and she did not even know what it was. My brother in law who signed the sheet has Parkinson's. The electricity was off on the property and they were totally dependent on the honesty of Ms. Williams and the seller. Both took advantage of two disabled, elderly people trying to find a place for me to live when I arrived at this property. They had to spend thousands of dollars to make the place livable. To have electricity hooked up to the garage, to buy a new pump and parts to the well, to repair the huge amount of damage from the water pipes, the wall that had to be torn out for the repairs and the other water damage. I am still stuck with a face of the house that was badly burned. How do I know the seller knew about the burned part of the house? He burned it trying to do a controlled burn of the backyard when it was dry. The neighbors told me he caught the house and the well cover on fire and the fire department had to put it out. He had to have known about major fire damage. Had the neighbors not told me about how bad the fire was, the seller would have been able to keep it covered up. That area of the house is a place my sister and her husband would have been physically unable to get to in order to know if it appeared in good condition or not. It looks horrible where the siding and shutters are burned and hanging off the house.
My family was out thousands of dollars from Ms Williams pressuring them to sign off on documents where her buyer claimed many major things in the home worked when they did not, such as the well did not work,no electricity to the garage and the list goes on. The well alone cost $800 to fix. They were pressured not only sign off on s document full of lies by her seller, but on things they could not know until the electricity was turned on. The well cannot pump water, and it was found to be broken, the garage door could not open and it was not wired to electricity, and the expensive list goes on an on. Ms Williams knew that list had to be completed by law, but she did not bother to make sure they were treated honestly. There was no way for my sister and brother in law to know the seller was lying with no electricity and they were pushed to sign off on information they could not possibly have and the realtor knew they could not have it. How a realtor can push two elderly people into making such a big decision while uninformed is very upsetting to me. The fact I invested my savings to buy the 2 acrea property for my dog santuary and found it was 1.3 only acreas left me devistated. If she did not know the size, she should have noted it to be a very low approximation. She ripped all of us off by thousands of dollars, since my sister had to make the place habitable read more
