Who do I sue? Real estate agent or company?

I bought a house last year and the real estate agent botched the transaction. Because of him, we are out a lot of money. I want to take him to small claims court, but he has since switched offices. Do I file against him as an individual or do I have to file against him at his old employer?

hi,
i don't knwo how it works in WA. But here in California, and most states, you sue the "Broker" of record, which is where the agent hangs his license. You can also name the realtor himself in the lawsuit, but generally, the liability for the acts of an agent rests with the broker, the boss of the agency where he works. The insurance covers the broker and his agents. But you didn't say how he "botched" the case.. and why you think there is a link between the damages and causation being his. good luck. |
