Protecting you in real estate transactions

Real Estate Disclosure Act

Protecting buyers in disputes over hidden property defects. Illinois law requires sellers to disclose known material defects, and we enforce those obligations.

Seller Disclosure Violations

Under the Illinois Residential Real Property Disclosure Act (765 ILCS 77), sellers are required to disclose known material defects in residential property. When sellers fail to disclose issues like structural problems, water damage, pest infestations, or environmental hazards, buyers may be entitled to damages including the cost of repairs and diminished property value. These claims are typically brought in Cook County Circuit Court for Chicago-area properties.

Buyer Protection

We represent buyers who discover undisclosed defects after closing on a property. From investigating the seller's knowledge of the defect to pursuing claims for fraud and statutory violations, we work to make sure you are made whole.
