FOURTH AMENDED COMPLAINT
NOW COME Plaintiffs Edward B. Kromer and Carolyn M. Kromer,
by their attorney, John Wesley Weigel III, Esquire, to file this
Fourth Amended Complaint, alleging as follows:
1. Plaintiffs Edward B. Kromer and Carolyn M. Kromer, husband
and wife, are adult individuals, residing at 150 Crain's Gap Road,
Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
2. Defendant Robert E. Goodling is an adult individual residing
at 258 West Baltimore Avenue, Carlisle, Cumberland County,
,
Pennsylvania.
3. Defendant Judy S. Goodling is an adult individual residing
at 505 S. College Street, Carlisle, Cumberland County; Pennsylvania.
4. Defendant Wolfe and Shearer Realtors is a business enterprise
with an office located at 33 South Pitt Street, Carlisle, Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania.
5. On June 11, 1992, Plaintiffs entered into an agreement to
purchase the property at 150 Crain's Gap Road from Defendants Robert
and Judy GOOdling. Defendant Wolfe and Shearer Realtors acted as
a real estate agent in the transaction. A copy of the agreement
of sale is marked Exhibit "A", attached hereto, and incorporated
herein by reference.
1
., .,
6. On July 23, 1992, Defendants Robert and Judy Goodling
conveyed the property at 150 Crain's Gap Road to Plaintiffs. A copy
of the deed is marked Exhibit "B", attached hereto, and incorporated
herein by reference.
7. The home was advertised as "virtually a new home." A copy
of the advertisement is marked Exhibit "C", attached hereto, and
incorporated herein by reference. Furthermore, a representative
of Defendant Welfe and Shearer Realtors assured Plaintiffs no one
had ever lived in the home and that it was only one year old.
8. All Defendants knew or should have known and failed to
disclose the following facts:
A. The home at 150 Crain's Gap Road was a modular home
installed by Getty's Builders at a different location in 1983 and
sold initially to Ray Salisbury.
B. Salisbury experienced many problems with the home and
filed a lawsuit for damages at 86-3715 Civil Term.
C. The lawsuit was settled, and as a term of the settlement,
the home was removed by Getty's Builders from the Salisbury property
to the current lot in 1989 where it was subsequently placed on a
foundation and sold to Defendants Robert and Judy Goodling.
9. The Goodlings knew or should have known the history of the
home and willfully failed to disclose the known defective condition
of the home.
10. The Goodlings retained Wolfe and Shearer Realtors to list
and sell the home. It is believed and therefore alleged that
Defendant Wolfe and Shearer Realtors also knew or should have known
the defective condition of the home, and misrepresented or failed
2
.~
" ..
to disclose this defective condition to Plaintiffs.
11. The home is presently deteriorating due to its original
defective condition, and to having been placed on a faulty foundation.
12. At the time of this filing, Plaintiffs are suffering the
following defects in their home:
A. Under House:
1. Back wall (toward hill)
(a). concrete blocks have deteriorated:
(b). outside soil is several inches higher than concrete
blocks, and subject to shifting:
2. Front wall (towards road)

3. Side wall (entrance) blocks have grown soft
4. Center supports

cement block next to base cracked from top to bottom
on both sides of block
(b). pillar closest to entrance is also leaning towards
road:
(c). after rainfall, water runs at pillar closest to
entrance
(d). blocks in the center support lack mortar between
them, and the center support is collapsing.
B. Outside House:
1. Front

5
.'
"
.,
(g). window is dropping on right side.
13. It is believed and therefore alleged that the majority,
if not all, of the above defects are caused by both construction
defects and settling due to an unsatisfactory foundation.
14. The defects, or potential for defects, not disclosed by
Defendants or the subject of misrepresentation to Plaintiffs have
reduced the fair market value by an amount not known to Plaintiffs
at the time of this filing.
15. Plaintiffs incurred numerous incidental expenses when
purchasing the property from Defendants Robert and Judy Goodling,
including an appraisal fee, a credit report fee, property tax
payments, hazard insurance, a V.A. funding fee, notary fees, title
insurance, deed and mortgage fees, and a transfer tax, amounting
to a total of $2660.52.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs Edward B. Kromer and Carolyn M. Kromer
request judgement in their favor against Defendants Robert E.
Goodling, Judy S. Goodling and Wolfe & Shearer Realtors, with an
award of costs and compensatory damages in excess of $2660.52.

IN RE: DEFENDANTS' PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS TO
PLAINTIFFS' THIRD AMENDED COMPLAINT
BEFORE BAYLEy1 and OLER. JJ.
OPINION and ORDER OF COURT
Oler, J.
This is a case involving a residential sale. The buyers,
Edward B. Kromer and Carolyn M. Kromer, seek to rescind the sale,
and to recover costs and attorney's fees, on the ground that the
sellers, Robert E. Goodling and Judy S. Goodling, and the listing
agent, Wolfe & Shearer Realtors, misrepresented the condition of,
and failed to disclose certain defects in, the property. Currently
before the court are various preliminary objections of the
Defendants to Plaintiffs' third amended complaint.
PROCEDURAL HISTORY: STATEMENT OF FACTS
Plaintiffs' third amended complaint, which consists of a
single count, contains the following averments of fact: Plaintiffs
are Edward B. Kromer and Carolyn M. Kromer, husband and wife,
residing at 150 Crain's Gap Road, Carlisle, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania. Defendants are Robert E. GOOdling, residing at 258
West Baltimore Avenue, Carlisle, Cumberland County, pennsylvaniai
1 Judge Bayley did not participate in the consideration or
disposition of this case.
NO. 94-2988 EQUITY TERM
Judy S. Goodling, residing at 50S South College Street, Carlisle,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania; and Wolfe & Shearer Realtors, with
a place of business at 33 South pitt Street, Carlisle, Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania.
On July 23, 1992, Plaintiffs purchased the residence at 150
Crain's Gap Road from Defendants Goodling. Wolfe & Shearer
Realtors had served as the listing agent.
The house had been advertised as "virtually a new home."
However, the structure had a history of litigation and had been
built on a "faulty foundation." The Goodlings "knew or should have
known" of the history of the home and "willfully failed to disclose
the known defective condition of the home." Wolfe & Shearer
Realtors "knew or should have known the defective nature of the
home, and failed to disclose the faulty construction to the
Plaintiffs."
By June of 1994, various specified "defects [were] ... being
experienced." A "majority, if not all of the ... defects [were]
caused by initial building defects, and settling due to an
unsatisfactory foundation."
On June 3, 1994, Plaintiffs commenced the instant action to
rescind the sale of the property, and to recover costs and
attorney's fees, on the basis of misrepresentation and
nondisclosure. To Plaintiffs' third amended complaint, Defendants
have filed a number of preliminary objections.
2
NO. 94-2988 EQUITY TERM
Defendants Robert E. Goodling and Judy S. Goodling have filed
preliminary objections in the nature of a demurrer and in the form
of a motion for a more specific pleading. Defendant Wolfe &
Shearer Realtors has filed a preliminary objection in the nature of
a demurrer.
The Goodling preliminary objections in the nature of a
demurrer are based upon an absence of a specific allegation as to
defects existing at the time of the sale, and upon a lack of duty
on the part of a seller of real estate to warn a purchaser of
unknown defects. The Goodling preliminary objections in the form
of a motion for a more specific complaint are based upon the
aforesaid absence of a specific allegation as to defects existing
at the time of the sale and the absence of details as to the
advertisement.
The Wolfe & Shearer Realtors preliminary objections in the
nature of a demurrer are based upon an absence of privity between
Plaintiffs and the realtor, and the unfessibility of relief in the
form of rescission from one not a party to the contract to be
.
rescinded. These preliminary objections will be discussed
hereafter.
STATEMENT OF LAW
Demurrer. "In order to sustain a demurrer, it is essential
that an opponent's pleading indicate on its face that his claim ...
cannot be sustained. The question to be decided is ... whether,
3
NO. 94-2988 EQUITY TERM
upon the facts averred, it shows with certainty that the law will
not uphold the pleading." 2 Goodrich Amram 2d S1017(b) :27, at 271
(1991) .
"Since sustaining a demurrer [to a complaint] results in a
denial of a pleader's claim ... a preliminary objection in the
nature of a demurrer should be sustained only in cases that clearly
and without a doubt fail to state a claim for which relief may be
granted. If the facts as pleaded state a claim for which relief
may be granted . . . under any theory of law, then there is
sufficient doubt to require that a preliminary objection in the
nature of a demurrer be rejected." rd., at 271-72.
" [A] demurrer will not be sustained on the ground that a
pleading is not sufficiently specific, because in such an instance,
there is no certainty that the pleading will not prevail." 2
Goodrich Amram 2d S1017(b):27, at 272 (199l).
Motion for a more specific pleadinq. "The question to be
decided when a preliminary objection in the form of a motion for a
more specific pleading is interposed ... is whether [the] pleading
is sufficiently clear to enable an opposing party to prepare a
response ...." 2 Goodrich Amram 2d S1017(b):21, at 265 (199l).
"Pennsylvania is a fact-pleading jurisdiction. A complaint
must therefore not only give the defendant notice of what the
plaintiff['s] claim is and the grounds upon which it rests, but it
must also formulate the issues by summarizing those facts essential
4
NO. 94-2988 EQUITY TERM
to support the claim.... While it is impossible to establish
precise standards as to the degree of particularity required in a
given situation, two conditions must always be met. The pleadings
must adequately explain the nature of the claim to the opposing
party so as to permit him to prepare a defense and they must be
sufficient to convince the court that the averments are not merely
subterfuge. " Sevin v. Kelshaw, 417 Pa. Super. l, 7, 611 A.2d 1232,
1235 (1992).
"It has been held that [a] preliminary objection in the nature
of a motion for a more specific pleading will be denied ... where
the objecting party may be presumed to have at least as much
knowledge of the information sought as does the pleader ... [or]
where the objecting party seeks the pleading of evidence." Stone
v. Dauphin Deposit Bank, No. 3933 Civil 1991, slip. op. at 4
(Cumberland Co. Feb. 24, 1992).
"In general, when a party states a case in a manner that fully
advises an opponent of the nature of the case and of the matters
with which the opponent will be confronted at trial, there is no
need for a motion for a more specific pleading1 the opponent should
seek discovery if he or she needs more information ...." 2
Goodrich-Amram 2d S1017(b):24, at 268 (1991).
Fraud. "Fraud must be averred with particularity as to the
following elements: ( 1) a misrepresentation 1 (2) a fraudulent
utterance thereof 1 (3) the maker's intent that the recipient be
5
NO. 94-2988 EQUITY TERM
induced thereby to act; (4) the recipient's justifiable reliance on
the misrepresentation; and (5) damage to the recipient as the
proximate result." 3 Standard Pennsylvania Practice Sl6: 59, at 550
( 1994) .
with regard to holding a person liable for fraudulent
concealment, the following language from a Superior Court opinion
is instructive:
One party to a transaction who by concealment
or other action intentionally prevents the
other from acquiring material information is
subject to the same liability to the other,
for pecuniary loss as though he had stated the
nonexistence of the matter that the other was
thus prevented from discovering.
Sevin v. Kelshaw, 417 Pa. Super. 1, 9, 611 A.2d 1232, 1236 (1992),
quoting Restatement (Second) of Torts S550 (1977).
Furthermore, "fraud may arise from the making of a knowingly
false representation of fact, from an intentional concealment of
true facts which is calculated to deceive the other party, or from
a nonprivileged failure to disclose facts to the other party. The
concealment must be intentional and it must relate to material
information.
Mere silence in the absence of a duty to speak,
however, cannot suffice to prove fraudulent concealment." Sevin v.
Kelshaw, 417 Pa. Super. 1, 9, 611 A.2d 1232, 1236 (l992). "A
misrepresentation is material if it is of such character that had
it not been made, or in the present case, had it been made, the
transaction would not have been consummated."
rd. at lO, 61l A.2d
6
it
NO. 94-2988 EQUITY TERM
at 1237.
Nealiaent misreDresentation. A person may be found liable for
negligent misrepresentation under the following circumstances:
One who, in the course of his business,
profession o~ employment, or in any other
transaction 1n which he has a pecuniary
interest, supplies false information for the
guidance of others in their business
transactions, is subject to liability for
pecuniary loss caused to them by their
justifiable reliance upon the information, if
he fails to exercise reasonable care or
competence in obtaining or communicating the
information.
Restatement (Second) of Torts 5552 (1977); Sevin v. Kelshaw, 417
Pa. Super. 1, 13, 611 A.2d 1232, 1238 (1992).
APPLICATION OF LAW TO FACTS
with respect to the preliminary objections of Defendants
Goodling in the nature of a demurrer, it appears to be one of
Plaintiffs' allegations that the Goodlings failed to disclose known
defects in a house with a history of litigation while the structure
was being offered for sale as "virtually a new home." Although the
complaint is somewhat ambiguous at certain points, it cannot be
said that "clearly and without a doubt" the facts as pleaded fail
to state a claim sounding in tort or contract upon which relief
could be granted.
with respect to the preliminary objections of Defendants
Goodling in the form of a motion for a more specific pleading, the
7
.j<-
~ t.
NO. 94-2988 EQUITY TERM
advertisement(s) utilized by the sellers and their agent in the
sale of the home would be as much within the knowledge of the
sellers as the buyers. In addition, the causal connection between
allegedly existing defects in the home as enumerated in Plaintiffs'
complaint and underlying conditions allegedly known by, and
concealed, by the sellers at the time of sale can be more fully
examined during the discovery process~ in this regard, it is
believed that Plaintiffs' pleading sets forth the nature of the
claim in sufficient detail to permit the sellers to formulate a
basic defense. For these reasons, the motion of Defendants
Go~dling for a more specific pleading will not be granted.
with respect to the preliminary objections of Defendant Wolfe
& Shearer Realtors in the form of a demurrer, it appears that
Plaintiffs are requesting certain incidental expenses in addition
to the remedy of rescission. For this reason, it would not be
appropriate to dismiss Plaintiffs' action against the realtor on
the ground that no relief requested could be provided by that
Defendant.
Based upon the foregoing, the following Order will be entered:

The first objection seeks a more specific pleading with regard to the advertisement alleged
to be a misrepresentation. Furthermore, more specific averments are sought regarding the alleged
defects to the home.
II. QUESTIONS PRESENTED
A. HAS THE PLAINTIFF STATED A CAUSE OF ACTION FOR RECISION
WHEN THE PLAINTIFF HAS NOT SPECIFIED THE SPECIFIC
MISREPRESENTATIONS ALLEGEDLY MADE BY THE SELLER AND
WHEN THE PLAINTIFF HAS NOT ALLEGED THAT THE
MISREPRESENTATIONS WERE MADE INTENTIONALLY?
B. ARE THE DEFENDANT SELLERS ENTITLED TO A MORE SPECIFIC
STATEMENT AS TO THE ALLEGED DEFECTS IN THE HOME WHICH
THEY SOLD AND AS TO THE SPECIFIC MISREPRESENTATIONS
CLAIMED BY THE BUYER TO SUPPORT A RECISION OF THE SALE?
III. ARGUMENT
A. THE PLAINTIFF HAS NOT STATED A CAUSE OF ACTION FOR RECISION
WHEN THE PLAINTIFF HAS NOT SPECIFIED THE SPECIFIC
MISREPRESENTATIONS ALLEGEDLY MADE BY THE SELLER AND
WHEN THE PLAINTIFF HAS NOT ALLEGED THAT THE
MISREPRESENTATIONS WERE MADE INTENTIONALLY.
Plaintiffs seek to rescind their purchase of a home. Though their complaint does not
explicitly aver fraudulent misrepresentation, the justification for the recision is the Defendants'
failure to disclose defects in the home, and the advertisement of the home as "virtually a new
home. "
With regard to the averment that Robert E. Goodling knew the history of defects of the
home and willfully failed to disclose the defects, th~ compiaint's averments regarding the defects
which existed at the time of sale on July 23, 1992, are limited to the following:
A. The Goodlings . . . failcd to disclose the known dcfectivc condition of the
home (paragraph 4d).
B. . . . Wolfe & Shearer Realtors also knew. . . the defectivc nature of the
home. . . (paragraph 41)
C. Thc homc is presently dctcriorating due to its original defcctivc conditions
and having bcen placcd on a faulty foundation (paragraph 5).
D. . . . The majority if not all of thc above [existing] defects are caused by the
initial building defects, and settling due to unsatisfactory foundation (paragraph 7).
A buyer may be entitled to recision if induced into a contract by fraud. Allegations of
fraud, however, must be pled with particularity. Pa. R.Civ.P. 1019(b); Sevin v. Kelshaw, 417
Pa. Super. 1,611 A.2d 1232 (1992).
As noted in Sevin v. Kelshaw, fraud may arise from the making of knowingly false
representation of fact, from an intentional concealment of true facts which is calculated to deceive
the other party, or from non-privileged failure to disclose facts to the other party. To be
actionable as "fraud," Defendants' concealment must be intentional and must be related to
material information. Mere silence in the absence of duty to speak cannot suffice to prove
fraudulent concealment.
Non-disclosure of information may be fraud if the information is material and if there is a
duty to disclose. See Sevin v. Kelshaw, Sl.II2Ul, and Roberts v. Barbal!allo, 366 Pa. Super. 559,
531 A.2d 1125 (1987).
In order for a plaintiff to make out a cause of action for recision, the plaintiff must
establish that the defendant acted intentionally. If the basis of recision is non-disclosure, it must
be shown that the information that was not disclosed was material.

BRIEF OF DEFENDANTS WOLFE & SCHERER REALTORS
1. FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY
On July 23, 1992, Plaintiffs Edward B. Kromer and Carolyn M.
Kromer purchased property at 150 Crains Gap Road from Defendants
Robert E. Goodling and Judy S. Goodling.
Defendants Wolfe &
Shearer Realtors were the real estate agents who handled the
purchase contract.
Plaintiffs have filed a Third Amended Complaint alleging that
the home which was the subject of the real estate transaction was
defective. The only portion of Plaintiffs' Third Amended Complaint
which specifically makes claim against Defendants Wolfe & Shearer
Realtors is Paragraph S(f), which states as follows:
"It is believed and therefore averred that Wolfe and
Shearer Realtors also knew or should have known the
defective nature of the home, and failed to disclose the
faulty construction to the Plaintiffs."
.,;'
" . i . :..~ C'

I
states as follows:
"WHEREFORE, it is requested this Honorable Court declare
the contract for sale of the pro.r;>erty to be null and void
and that all monies paid by the Plaintiffs be returned to
them together with costs and attorney's fees."
Defendant Robert E. Goodling and Defendant Judy S. Goodling
filed separate Preliminary Objections to Plaintiffs' Third Amended
Complaint in the nature of a Motion for More Specific Pleading and
in a Motion for Demurrer Due to Insufficiency of the allegations.
Defendants Wolfe & Shearer Real tors filed Preliminary Objections to
Plaintiffs' Third Amended Complaint in the nature of a Demurrer
alleging that Plaintiffs have failed to state a claim against
Defendants Wolfe & Shearer Realtors. These preliminary objections
are now before the Court.
II. ARGUMENT
As pled, Plaintiffs' Third Amended Complaint alleges a
contract between the Plaintiffs and the Goodlings.
There is no
allegation that there was ever a contractual relationship between
Plaintiffs and Derendants Wolfe & Shearer Realtors.
The Plaintiffs' claim sounds in the nature or a rescission of
a real estate transaction. The Plaintiffs seek rescission of the
contract along with costs and attorney's fees. Plaintiffs do not
set forth against Defendants Wolfe & Shearer Realtors a specific
claim for damages. Since Wolfe & Shearer was not a party to the
contract which is the subject to this lawsuit, Wolfe & Shearer has
no involvement in a rescission dispute. Plaintiffs' Third Amended

PLAINTIPP'S BRIEP ON PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS
I. FACTS
On July 23, 1992, Plaintiffs Edward B. Kromer and his wife
Carolyn M. Kromer (hereinafter "the Kromers") purchased the
property at 150 Crain's Gap Road from Robert E. Goodling and Judy
S. Goodling (hereinafter the Goodlings).
The house involved in the sale was a modular home built by
Getty's Builders and originally sold to a Mr. Raymond Salisbury.
Mr. Salisbury experienced several structural problems with the
home and filed a lawsuit for damages in this Honorable Court
docketed to No. 3715 Civil 1986. The lawsuit was settled and as
a term of settlement, the modular home was moved by Getty's to
its current location where it was placed on a foundation and
subsequently sold by Gettys to the Goodlings.
In purchasing the property the Goodlings can be assumed in
the normal course of such a purchase to have physically inspected
the home and had a title search performed, either of which should
have discovered the faulty construction of the home, or the
existence and subject of the lawsuit.
At some later time the Goodlings decided to unload the
property and retained the realty firm of Wolfe and Shearer to
sell the property.
It is standard practice and custom in the
real estate business for a listing agent to inspect the property
to assure it is sound and marketable, and to set a price for the
property.
Paulty construction is a material defect subject to
disclosure.
The constructive knowledge of the Goodlings and
their real estate agent imposed a duty on them to disclose the
faulty construction to the Kromers prior to sale. This was not
done, and the Kromers, after the home really started to fall
apart, sought legal advice and initiated this lawsuit.
The Kromers, during the pendency of the suit, discontinued
payments on their mortgage,' and foreclosure action is pending.'
II. PROCEDURAL HISTORY OF THE CASE
The initial Complaint was filed on June 3,
1994.
Preliminary Objections were filed by the parties' three
attorneys.
In an attempt to correct the initial Complaint to
meet the Preliminary Objections, the Pirst Amended Complaint was
filed, followed again by three sets of Preliminary Objections.
In an attempt to address the new Preliminary Objections a second
Amended Complaint was prepared and filed, followed by three sets
of Preliminary Objections. Plaintiffs filed Answers to each set
of Preliminary Objections and then filed a Third Amended
Complaint. The Third Amended Complaint was followed by another
three sets of Preliminary Objections, two of which (those of the
· The discontinuance of mortgage payments was done without
consulting this attorney.
· A Lis Pendens was filed on December 21, 1995 in this Court to
this docket number.
Goodlings individually) are identical except for the name of the
Defendant. Plaintiffs then listed these preliminary Objections
for Argument.
III. QUESTIONS PRESENTED
A. Are the averments in the Third Amended Complaint
sufficiently specific under P.R.C.P. No. 1019(b) for the
Defendants to prepare an Answer?
(Suggested Answer in the
Affirmative) .
B. Do the allegations and the reasonable inference
deducible therefrom constitute a cause of action sufficient to
withstand a demurrer?
IV. ARGUIIBHT
A. Are the ave:a:ments in the Third Amended Complaint
sufficiently specific under P.R.C.P. No. 1019(b) for the
Defendants to prepare an Answer? (Suggested Answer in the
Affirmative) .
Pa.R.C.P. 1019 reads in part as follows:
CONTENTS OP PLEADINGS, GENERAL AND SPECIFIC AVERMENTS
(a) the material facts on which a cause of action or
default is based shall be stated in a concise and
summary form.
(b) averments of fraud shall be averred with
particularity, malice, intent, knowledge, and other
conditions of mind may be averred generally.
The Goodlings, in their Briefs cite Pa. R.C.P. No. 1019(b)
for the rule that fraud must be pled with particularity. In
satisfaction of the particularity requirements of Pa.R.C.P.
1019 (b) two conditions must always be met I
the pleading must
adequately explain the nature of the claim to the opposing party
so as to permit him to prepare a defense and they must be
sufficient to convince the court that the averments are not
merely subterfuge. In re Estate of Schofield, 477 A.2d 473, 477,
505 Pa. 95 (1984), see also, Bata v. Central-Penn National Bank
of Philadelphia, 423 Pat 373, 224 A.2d 174 (1966).
Plaintiffs
contend that the averments in the pleading adequately explain the
nature of the claim, which in summary is that the Goodlings and
their real estate agent failed to disclose to the Kromers that
the home at issue had been the subject of a lawsuit alleging that
the home was constructed in a defective manner, and that the
failure of the defendants to disclose this fact constituted
fraudulent misrepresentation.
Restatement (Second) of TORTS (1977) covers the subject of
Damages for Fraudulent Misrepresentation, as follows I
"Section 549. Measure of Damages for Praudulent
Hisrepresentation
(1) The recipient of a fraudulent misrepresentation is
entitled to recover as damages in an action of deceit against the
maker the pecuniary loss to him of which the misrepresentation is
a legal cause, including
(a) . . . . .
(b) pecuniary loss suffered otherwise as a consequence of
the recipient's reliance upon the misrepresentation"
"Section 550. Liability for praudulent Concealment
One party to a transaction who by concealment or other
action intentionally prevents the other from acquiring material
information is subject to the same liability to the other, for
necessary loss as through he had stated the non-existence of the
matter that the other was thus prevented from discovering.
"Section 551. Liability for Nondisclosure
(1) One who fails to disclose to another a fact that he
knows may justifiably induce the other to act or refrain from
acting in a business transaction is subject to the same liability
to the other as though he had represented the non-existence of
the matter that he has failed to disclose, but only if, he is
under a duty to the other to exercise reasonable care to disclose
the matter in question.
(2) One party to a business transaction is under a duty to
exercise reasonable care to disclose to the other before the
business transaction is consummated.
(8) ....
(b) matters known to him that he knows to be necessary to
prevent his partial or ambiguous statement of the facts from
being misleading; and
(e) . . . .
(d) ....
(e) facts basic to the transaction, if he knows that the
other is about to enter into it under a mistake as to them, and
that the other, because of the relationship between them, the
customs of the trade or other objective circumstances, would
reasonably expect a disclosure of those facts. (emphasis added)
"TOPIC 4. Innocent Hisrepresentation
"Section 552c. Hisrepresentation in Sale, Rental or Exchange
Transaction
(1) One who, in a sale, rental or exchange transaction with
another, make a misrepresentation of a material fact for the
purpose of inducing the other to act or refrain from acting in
reliance upon it, is subject to the other for pecuniary loss
caused to him by his justifiable reliance upon the
misrepresentation, even though it is not made fraudulently or
negligently.
(2) ....
In this action, the misrepresentation that the house was
"virtually new" led the plaintiffs to believe it was without
defects. The failure by the defendants to disclose the prior
existence of the lawsuit between the original owner and the
contractor of the home over the "defective construction" was a
material fact which if disclosed would have put the plaintiffs on
notice that there were problems with the construction of the
home, and led them not to purchase it.
In Sevin v. Kelshaw, 611 A.2d 1232, 1236 the Superior Court
stated as follows I
"Fraud must be averred with particularity by the follOWing
elements 1) a fraudulent misrepresentation; 2) a fraudulent
utterance of it; 3) the maker's intent that the recipient be
induced thereby to act; 4) the recipient's justifiable reliance
on the misrepresentation; and 5) damage to the recipient
proximately caused. Lokav v. Lehiqh Valley Co-Op Parmers, Inc.,
342 Pa. Super 89, 96, 492 A.2d 405, 408 (1985) (citations omitted)
We have also held that a vendor or his aqent may be liable for
failure to disclose material information" pursuant to the
Restatement (Second) of Torts Section 550 (1977). Roberts v.
Estate of Barbaqallo, 366 Pa. Super 559, 568, 531 A.2d 1125, 1130
(1987).
The averments of the Complaint are sufficiently specific
under Pa. R.C.P. No. 1019(b) for the Defendants to prepare a
defense and to Answer the Complaint.
B. Do the allegations and the reasonable inference
deducible therefrom constitute a cause of action sufficient
to withstand a demurrer?
The Complaint avers that the defendants individually knew or
should have known the defective nature of the home, and that they
failed to disclose this to the plaintiffs. Additionally, in the
process of advertising the home, the defendants communicated to
the plaintiffs that the home was "virtually new", thus leading
the plaintiffs to reasonably believe it was without defects. The
misleading communication coupled with the failure to disclose the
past allegations of faulty construction reasonably induced the
plaintiffs into purchasing the home.
The Goodlings as the
sellers, and the real estate agent were individually and
severally responsible for the misrepresentation for which they
are being sued.
The Complaint states a cause of action against the
defendants and a demurrer cannot stand.

MOTION FOR MORE SPECIFIC PLEADING
1. Paragraph 4 of Plaintiffs' First Amended Complaint alleges as the basis of
liability for the Defendant that the home in question was advertised as "virtually a new
home" and that the Defendant knew the history of the defective nature of the home and
that the Defendant willfully failed to disclose the defective condition of the home to the
Plaintiffs.
2. With regard to the averment that the home was advertised as "virtually a new
home" the Plaintiff does not provide the following information which is essential for the
Defendant, Robert E. Goodling, to prepare an answer:
A. Who advertised the home as "virtually a new home"?
B. Was the advertisement in writing or made verbally?
C. When and where did the advertisement(s) occur?
3. With regard to the averment that Robert E. Goodling knew the history of defects
of the home and willfully failed to disclose the defects, the complaint's averments regarding
the defects which existed at the time of sale on July 23, 1992, are limited to the following:
A. The Goodlings . . . failed to disclose the known defective condition of the
home (paragraph 4d).
B. ... Wolfe & Shearer Realtors also knew. . . the defective nature of the
home . . . (paragraph 4f)
C. The home is presently deteriorating due to its original defective conditions
and having been placed on a faulty foundation (paragraph 5)
D. ... The majority if not all of the above [existing] defects are caused by
initial building defects, and settling due to unsatisfactory foundation (paragraph 7)
4. The failure of the Plaintiffs to specify the defects which existed on July 23, 1992,
prevents a determination as to the duty of the Defendant, Robert E. Goodling, to disclose

PRELIMINARY OBJBCTIONS TO
PLAINTIPPS' PIRST AKBHDBD COMPLAINT
Defendant JUDY S. GOODLING, by her counsel, Landis, Black &
Schorpp, respectfully sets forth the following objections to the
Plaintiff's First Amended Complaint:
PAILURE TO CONFORM TO
RULES OP CIVIL PROCBDURE
1. The First Amended Complaint does not conform with the
Pennsylvania Rules of civil Procedure in that it is not verified and it
does not contain a Notice to Defend.
2. The First Amended Complaint does not conform to law in that it
seeks recision which is an equitable remedy and the Complaint is filed
at Law.
3. The First Amended Complaint does not conform to the Rules of
civil Procedure in that the amount in controversy is not determinable
from the averments in the Complaint and, if the remedy is interpreted as
a claim for damages, it cannot be determined whether this Complaint
falls within the limits of compulsory arbitration.
WHBREPORE, Defendant requests this Court to direct the Plaintiffs
to file a complaint in proper form and conformity with law and Rules of
civil Procedure.
MOTION ~OR MORE SPECI~IC PLEaDING
1. If plaintiff is proceeding at LaW, plaintiff has failed to
separate his various causes of action together with separate demands for
relief.
2. If plaintiff is making allegations in fraud or
misrepresentation, plaintiff has failed to make such averments with
particularity.
WHEREPORE, Defendant requests your Honorable Court to direct
plaintiffs to file an amended complaint.
MOTION ~OR DEMURER DUE TO IN8U~PICIENCY
1. Plaintiffs' Complaint seeks a remedy from the Defendant due to
the Defendant's failure to disclose in a home sold to plaintiffs when
the Defendant knew or should have known of the defects.
2. The nature of the defects are not alleged in the Plaintiffs'
Complaint with sufficient specificity to establish a duty on the part of
the Defendant, Judy S. Goodling, and a cause of action for failure to
disclose is, therefore, not stated.
3. There is no cause of action state against the Defendant, Judy
S. Goodling, for failing to disclose defects which were not known but
which should have been known.
WHEREFORE, Defendant requests Your Honorable Court to dismiss
Plaintiffs' complaint.

PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS TO
PLAINTIFFS' SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT
Defendant ROBERT E. GOODLING, by his counsel, Andrews & Johnson by Taylor
P. Andrews, Esquire, respectfully sets forth the following objections to the Plaintiffs' First
Amended Complaint:
MOTION FOR MORE SPECIFIC PLEADING
1. Paragraph 4 of Plaintiffs' First Amended Complaint alleges as the basis of
liability for the Defendant that the home in question was advertised as "virtually a new
home" and that the Defendant knew the history of the defective nature of the home and
that the Defendant willfully failed to disclose the defective condition of the home to the
Plaintiffs.
2. With regard to the averment that the home was advertised as "virtually a new
home" the Plaintiff does not provide the following information which is essential for the
Defendant, Robert E. Goodling, to prepare an answer:
A. Who advertised the home as "virtually a new home"?
B. Was the advertisement in writing or made verbally?
C. When and where did the advertisement(s) occur?
3. With regard to the averment that Robert E. Goodling knew the history of defects
of the home and willfully failed to disclose the defects, the complaint's averments regarding
the defects which existed at the time of sale on July 23, 1992, are limited to the following:
A. The Goodlings . . . failed to disclose the known defective condition of the
home (paragraph 4d).
B. ... Wolfe & Shearer Realtors also knew. . . the defective nature of the
home . . . (paragraph 4f)
C. The home is presently deteriorating due to its original defective conditions
and having been placed on a faulty foundation (paragraph 5)
D. ... The majority if not all of the above [existing] defects are caused by
initial building defects, and settling due to unsatisfactory foundation (paragraph 7)
4. The failure of the Plaintiffs to specify the defects which existed on July 23, 1992,
prevents a determination as to the duty of the Defendant, Robert E. Goodling, to disclose
information regarding the condition of the premises, and Robert E. Goodling needs a more
specific statement of the alleged defects in order to respond with an answer.
WHEREFORE, Defendant requests Your Honorable Court to direct the Plaintiffs to
file an Amended Complaint including specifics with regard to the advertisement of the
home, and also with regard to the defects which allegedly existed at the time of sale on
July 23, 1992.
MOTION FOR DEMURER DUE TO INSUFFICI.ENCY
1. Plaintiffs' Complaint seeks a remedy from the Defendant due to the Defendant's
failure to disclose defects in a home sold to Plaintiffs when the Defendant knew or should
have known of the defects.

3. With regard to the averment that Robert E. Goodling knew the history of
defects of the home and willfully failed to disclose the defects, the complaint's averments
regarding the defects which existed at the time of sale on July 23, 1992, are limited to the
following:
A. The Goodlings . . . failed to disclose the known defective condition of
the home (paragraph 4d).
B. . . . Wolfe & Shearer Realtors also knew. . . the defective nature of
the home. . . (paragraph 4f)
C. The home is presently deteriorating due to its original defective
conditions and having been placed on a faulty foundation (paragraph 5)
D. . . . The majority if not all of the above [existing] defects are caused by
initial building defects, and settling due to unsatisfactory foundation (paragraph 7)
4. The failure of the Plaintiffs to specify the defects which existed on July 23,
1992, prevents a determination as to the duty of the Defendant, Robert E. Goodling, to
disclose information regarding the condition of the premises, and Robert E. Goodling
needs a more specific statement of the alleged defects in order to respond with an answer.
WHEREFORE, Defendant requests Your Honorable Court to direct the Plaintiffs to
file an Amended Complaint including specifics with regard to the advertisement of the
home, and also with regard to the defects which allegedly existed at the time of sale on
July 23, 1992.
MOTION FOR DEMURER DUE TO INSUFFICIENCY
1. Plaintiffs' Complaint seeks a remedy from the Defendant due to the
Defendant's failure to disclose defects in a home sold to Plaintiffs when the Defendant
knew or should have known of the defects.
2. The nature of the defects are not alleged in the Plaintiffs' Complaint with
sufficient specificity to establish a duty on the part of the Defendant, Robert E. Goodling,
and a cause of action for failure to disclose is, therefore, not stated.
3. There is no cause of action stated against the Defendant, Robert E. Goodling,
for failing to disclose defects which were not known but which should have been known.
WHEREFORE, Defendant requests Your Honorable Court to dismiss Plaintiffs'
Complaint.

and that the Defendant willfully failed to disclose the defective
condition of the home to the Plaintiffs.
2. With regard to the averment that the home was
advertised as "virtually a new home" the Plaintiff does not
provide the following information which is essential for the
Defendant, Judy S. Goodling, to prepare an answer:
A. Who advertised the home as "virtually a new home"?
B. When and where did the advertisement(s) occur?
3. With regard to the averment that Judy S. Goodling knew
the history of defects of the home and willfully failed to
disclose the defects, the complaint's averments regarding the
defects which existed at the time of sale on July 23, 1992, are
limited to the following:
A. The Goodlings...failed to disclose the known
defective condition of the home ( paragraph 4d).
B. ...Wolfe & Shearer Realtors also knew...the
defective nature of the home... (paragraph 4f).
C. The home is presently deteriorating due to its
original defective conditions and having been placed on a
faulty foundation (paragraph 5).

defects are caused by initial building defects, and settling

4. The failure of the Plaintiffs to specify the defects
which existed on July 23, 1992, prevents a determination as to
the duty of the Defendant, Judy S. Goodling, to disclose
information regarding the condition of the premises, and Judy S.
Goodling needs a more specific statement of the alleged defects
in order to respond with an answer.
WHEREFORE, Defendant requests Your Honorable Court to direct
the Plaintiffs to file an Amended Complaint including specifics
with regard to the advertisement of the home, and also with
regard to the defects which allegedly existed at the time of sale
on July 23, 1992.

6. On July 23, 1992, Defendants Robert and Judy Goodling
conveyed the property at 150 Crain's Gap Road to Plaintiffs. A copy
of the deed is marked Exhibit "B", attached hereto, and incorporated
herein by reference.
7. The home was advertised as "virtually a new home." A copy
of the advertisement is marked Exhibit "C", attached hereto, and
incorporated herein by reference. Furthermore, a representative
of Defendant Wolfe and Shearer Realtors assured Plaintiffs no one
had ever lived in the home and that it was only one year old.
8. All Defendants knew or should have known and failed to
disclose the following facts:
A. The home at 150 Crain's Gap Road was a modular home
installed by Getty's Builders at a different location in 1983 and
sold initially to Ray Salisbury.
B. Salisbury experienced many problems with the home and
filed a lawsuit for damages at 86-3715 Civil Term.
C. The lawsuit was settled, and as a term of the settlement,
the home was removed by Getty's Builders from the Salisbury property
to the current lot in 1989 where it was subsequent).y placed on a
foundation and sold to Defendants Robert and Judy Goodling.
9. The Goodlings knew or should have known the history of the
home and willfully failed to disclose the known defective condition
of the home.
10. The Goodlings retained Wolfe and Shearer Realtors to list
and sell the home. It is believed and therefore alleged that
Defendant Wolfe and Shearer Realtors also knew or should have known
the defective condition of the home, and misrepresented or failed
2
to disclose this defective condition to Plaintiffs.
11. The home is presently deteriorating due to its original
defective condition, and to having been placed on a faulty foundation.
12. At the time of this filing, Plaintiffs are suffering the
following defects in their home:

(e). window frame is splitting;
(f). there are cracks in walls from frames;
6
(g). window is dropping on right side.
13. It is believed and therefore alleged that the majority,
if not all, of the above defects are caused by both construction
defects and settling due to an unsatisfactory foundation.
14. The defects, or potential for defects, not disclosed by
Defendants or the subject of misrepresentation to Plaintiffs have
reduced the fair market value by an amount not known to Plaintiffs
at the time of this filing.
15. Plaintiffs incurred numerous incidental expenses when
purchasing the property from Defendants Robert and Judy Goodling,
including an appraisal fee, a credit report fee, property tax
payments, hazard insurance, a V.A. funding fee, notary fees, title

to a total of $2660.52.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs Edward B. Kromer and Carolyn M. Kromer
request judgement in their favor against Defendants Robert E.
Goodling, Judy S. Goodling and Wolfe & Shearer Realtors, with an
award of costs and compensatory damages in excess of $2660.52.

:JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
ANSWER OF DEFENDANTS WOLFE & SHlllARER REALTORS TO
FOURTH AMENDED CCMPLAINT
Defendants Wolfe & Shearer Realtors by their attorneys Broujos,
Gilroy & Houston, P.C., set forth the following in response to the
Fourth Amended Complaint filed by the Plaintiffs:
1
Admitted in part and denied in part. Admitted that Plaintiffs are
Edward B. Kromer and Carolyn H. Kromer. Denied that the Plaintiffs
reside at 150 Crains Gap Road, Carlisle, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania.
Defendants have information and believe that
Plaintiffs have moved from said residence. Defendants are not
aware of Plaintiff's current address.
2
Admitted.
3
Admitted.
4
Admitted.
5
Admitted.
....
6
Admitted.
7
Denied that the home in question was advertised as virtually new in
Exhibit "c" which is attached to Plaintiff's Complaint. Said
Exhibit "c" was not an advertisement of any sort. Exhibit "c" is
a page from the Central Penn Multiple Listing Service and is a
publication designed exclusively for use by real estate
practitioners. The publication is not an advertisement to
prospective purchasers and the publication by design is not for
dissemination to the public. Denied that a representative of
Defendant Wolfe & Shearer Realtors advised Plaintiffs that no one
had ever lived in the home. Admitted that representatives of Wolfe
& Shearer Realtors advised Plaintiffs that the subject home was
approximately one year old. By way of further answer, Defendants
Wolfe & Shearer Realtors had obtained information from the
Cumberland County assessment office indicating that the home in
question was built in 1990 and had obtained a Building Permit from
officials of North Middleton Township which also indicated that the
subject home had been constructed in 1990. By way of further
answer, Defendant Robert E. Goodling advised Defendants Wolfe &
Shearer Realtors at the time of signing an exclusive Listing
Agreement with Wolfe & Shearer Realtors on April 10, 1992 that the
home was "one plus" years old.
8
Denied. Defendants Wolfe & Shearer Realtors had no information
...
concerning the allegations set forth in Paragraph 8. By way of
further answer, said allegations are denied and proof thereof is
demanded. After reasonable investigation, Defendants Wolfe &
Shearer Realtors are unable to ascertain the truth or falsity of
said allegations. By way of further answer, there is no basis to
suggest that Wolfe & Shearer Realtors "should have known" said
facts if said facts are accurate. Wolfe & Shearer Realtors
performed a diligent and comprehensive background check on the
Subject Property to verify the representations made to it by
Defendant Robert E. Goodling and actions of Wolfe & Shearer
Realtors were reasonable and Wolfe & Shearer Realtors disclosed all
information they had in their possession to the Plaintiffs.
9
No responsive pleading is required by Defendants Wolfe & Shearer
Realtors. If said response is required, Plaintiffs allegations are
denied.
10
Admitted that Defendant Robert E. Goodling retained Defendant Wolfe
& Shearer Realtors to list and sell the home. Defendants Wolfe &
Shearer Realtors believe that Defendant Robert E. Goodling was
acting also as agent and on behalf of his wife Judy S.Goodling and
that belief is based upon the fact that Mrs. Goodling ultimately
signed the deed to convey the Subject Property to the Kromers.
Denied that Defendant Wolfe & Shearer Realtors had any information
or should have had any information concerning an alleged defective
condition of the home simply by virtue of Wolfe & Shearer Realtors
.. ~
entering into a Listing Agreement with the Goodling Defendants. It
is further denied that any agent or representative of Wolfe &
Shearer Realtors misrepresented or failed to disclose any alleged
defective conditions concerning the property to the Plaintiffs.
11
Denied. On the contrary, any alleged deterioration in the home
existing at the current time is due to failure of the Plaintiffs or
persons acting on behalf of the Plaintiffs to properly maintain the
home, to properly repair and keep the home within a normal and
reasonable upkeep, perform routine maintenance and also possibly
due to some physical damage to the home caused by the Plaintiffs or
others. It is specifically denied that there was any "original
defective condition" on the home. Proof thereof is demanded. It
is further specifically denied that the home was placed on a
"faulty foundation". Proof thereof is demanded.
12
Denied that the various items set forth in Plaintiff's paragraph 12
constitute "defects" in the home. By way of further answer, said
items actually constitute the present condition of the home caused
as a result of Plaintiffs or their agent's actions as set forth in
Defendan t Wol fe & Shearer's answer to paragraph 11 above. It is
further denied that the items set forth are also all in any way
improper conditions or defects or that they in any way have any
connection with the fair market value or habitability of the home.
13
Denied. Proof thereof is demanded. After reasonable
. ~
. investigation, Defendant Wolfe & Shearer Realtors are without
information to determine the truth or falsity of said allegation.
By way of further answer, any of the alleged conditions set forth
in paragraph 12 of Plaintiff's Complaint are not defects and were
not caused by construction of the home but were caused by
inappropriate upkeep, no maintenance and lack of normal routine
care for the home.
14
On the contrary, Defendants Wolfe & Shearer assert that there were
no defects in the home. The answers as set forth in paragraphs 11,
12 and 13 above are incorporated herein by reference thereto. It
is further alleged that solely the failure to maintain the home and
perform normal and routine maintenance and upkeep is the cause of
reducing any fair market value of the home. It is further denied,
and proof thereof is demanded, that the fair market value of the
home has been reduced by any defects or potential for defects.
15
Denied. Proof thereof is demanded. After reasonable
investigation, Defendants Wolfe & Shearer Realtors are unable to
determine the truth or falsity of these allegations.
WHEREFORE, Defendants Wolfe & Shearer Realtors request that
Plaintiff's Complaint be dismissed.
.' ~
NEW MATTER
16
The allegations set forth above in paragraphs 1 through 15 are
incorporated herein by reference thereto.
17
Defendants Wolfe & Shearer Realtors entered into an exclusive
Listing Agreement with Defendant Robert E. Goodling dated April 10,
1992. A copy of said Agreement is attached hereto and marked
Exhibit "A".
18
Defendants Wolfe & Shearer Realtors believe that Defendant Robert
E. Goodling, on entering into the said exclusive Listing Agreement,
was acting on behalf of himself and his wife Judy S. Goodling and
that Robert E. Goodling was acting as agent and had the apparent
authority to bind Judy S. Goodling for purposes of listing this
property for sale.
19
Defendant Robert E. Goodling advised Wolfe & Shearer Realtors at
the time of listing the property for sale that there were no
property defects except for some possibly cosmetic defects.
Furthermore, Defendant Robert E. Goodling advised Wolfe & Shearer
that the home in question was "one plus" years old.
20
Defendant Wolfe & Shearer Realtors performed a due diligence search
of appropriate records to confirm the information provided to it by
Defendant Robert E. Goodling. This search included a search of
.
records at the offices of North Middleton Township and the offices
of Cumberland County. Additionally, Wolfe & Shearer obtained a
copy of the deed for the Subject Property into Defendants Robert E.
and Judy S. Goodling which deed was dated June 9, 1992.
21
Defendant Wolfe & Shearer Realtors obtained a copy of the
residential real property record card from the Cumberland County
Assessor's Office for the Subject Property which card suggested
that the home in question had been constructed in 1990. A copy of
said document is attached hereto and marked "B".
22
Defendant Wolfe & Shearer Realtors obtained a copy of the Building
Permit for the Subject Property from officials at North Middleton
Township. Said Building Permit indicated that the home on the
property in question was constructed on January 17, 1990. A copy
of said Building Permit is attached hereto and marked Exhibit "C".
23
Defendant Wolfe & Shearer Realtors never had any information
concerning any items as set forth in paragraph 8 of Plaintiff's
Complaint. Specifically, Defendant Wolfe & Shearer Real tors were
never advised that the home in question was constructed at a
different location in 1983 and that the home was the subject of
litigation after which the home was subsequently constructed at its
current site.
24
Prior to purchasing the home in question, Plaintiffs obtained an
~
appraisal of the property which was performed by Terry E. Freeman
on behalf of a VA Lender, Hart Mortgage. A copy of said appraisal
is attached hereto and marked Exhibit "D".
25
The appraisal performed by Mr. Freeman included a thorough
. inspection and examination of the home and Mr. Freeman advised
Plaintiffs pursuant to said appraisal that the property was well
constructed, that there are no physical or functional inadequacies
and that no repairs were needed at the Subject Property at time of
sale by Defendants Goodling to the Plaintiffs.
26
Said appraisal performed by Mr. Freeman also disclosed that Mr.
Freeman's opinion was that the Subject Property was one year old.
27
At the time Plaintiffs entered into an agreement to purchase the
property on June 11, 1992, which is Exhibit '~" of Plaintiff's
Complaint, Plaintiffs represented at paragraph 16 of said Agreement
that they had inspected the property or waived the right to do so
and agreed to purchase the property as a resul t of said inspection
and not because of any reliance upon any representation made by
seller or any officer, partner or employee of seller, or by the
agent, sub-agent of the seller, their sales people and employees,
officers and partners.
28
Defendant Wolfe & Shearer Realtors was, for the purposes of this
transaction, the agent of the seller.
..
29
Shortly prior to settlement which took place on August 13, 1992,
Plaintiffs conducted a pre-settlement inspection of the Subject
Property and found the property to be in an acceptable condition
and state of repair and did not list any exceptions to that
statement. A copy of said pre-settlement inspection is attached
hereto and marked Exhibit "E".
30
Plaintiffs specifically failed to physically inspect the crawl
space area beneath the home. Plaintiff's agents in conducting
their home inspection also specifically failed to physically
inspect the crawl beneath the home. If there is any alleged
structural defect in the home, which Defendants Wolfe & Shearer
Realtors specifically deny, an inspection of the crawl space area
would have disclosed said defects and Plaintiffs and their agents
were given appropriate opportunity to inspect said crawl space to
determine if there was any structural problems at the home.
31
'l'he current fair market value of the Subject Property, in its
existing state of disrepair and neglect, is a value of at least
equal to the purchase price Plaintiffs paid for the property which
was $67,500.00.
32
'l'he investment of a number of thousands of dollars in repairs and
maintenance to the Subject Property would cause a dramatic increase
in the fair market value of the property on a sale of the property
in existing market conditions.
WHEREFORE, Defendants Wolfe & Shearer Realtors request the Court to
dismiss Plaintiff's Complaint.
CROSSCLAIM AGAINS'l' ROBER'l' E. GOODLING AND JUDY S. GOODLING
33
'l'he allegations set for in paragraphs 1 through 32 above are
incorporated therein by reference thereto.
34
'l'he allegations of Plaintiff's Complaint are incorporated herein
by Defendants Wolfe & Shearer Realtors. Wolfe & Shearer Realtors
do not admit the averments of Plaintiff's Compliant, but
incorporate them solely for purposes of this Crossclaim.
35
Any liability of Defendants Wolfe & Shearer Realtors, which
lability is specifically denied, was wholly secondary and passive
and the liability of Defendants Robert E. Goodling and Judy S.
Goodling was primary and active.
36
If it is determined that Plaintiff's are entitled to recover any or
all the damages set forth in Plaintiff's Complaint, which is
specifically denied, then Defendants Robert E. Goodling and Judy S.
Goodling are each solely or jointly liable to Plaintiffs and are
each alone liable, jointly liable, or liable over to Defendants
Wolfe & Shearer Realtors for contribution, indemnification or both.
~~~".
.
WHBREFORE, Defendants Wolfe & Shearer Realtors respectfully request
your Honorable Court to dismiss Plaintiff's Complaint and enter
judgment in its favor. In the alternative, if it is deter.mined
that Plaintiffs are entitled to recover, then Defendants Wolfe &
Shearer Realtors demand that judgment be entered either solely or
jointly against Defendants Robert B. Goodling and Judy S. Goodling.
In the further alternative, if it is deter.mined that Plaintiffs are
entitled to recover against Defendants Wolfe & Shearer Realtors,
which is specifically denied, then Defendants Wolfe & Shearer
Realtors respectfully request your Honorable Court to enter
judgment against Defendants Robert B. Goodling and Judy S. Goodling
for joint and separate lability, contribution, indemnification or
all three.

20. Denied. Plaintiffs are without knowledge or information
sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of this allegation.
21. Denied. On the contrary, Plaintiffs believe and therefore
aver that Defendant Robert E. Goodling had knowledge or should

150 Crain's Gap Road, Carlisle, PA 17013 at the time the house was
marketed and sold to the Plaintiffs.

26. Admitted.
27. Admitted in part and denied in part. It is admitted that
Plaintiffs have settled their foreclosure action with a judgement
1vJli~ to exceed $85,000.00 and that they have suffered loss of
1 ownership of the premises at 150 Crain's Gap Road, Carlisle,
Pennsylvania, as a result of the foreclosure. It is denied, however,
that Plaintiffs have suffered no financial loss or damage as a result
of Defendants' misrepresentations or failure to disclose. On the

misrepresentations or failure to disclose. To the extent Plaintiffs
will owe Mellon Mortgage for a deficien~ following sale of the house,
^
Plaintiffs have suffered financial loss.

18. Admitted.
19. Denied. Plaintiffs are without knowledge or information
