Real Estate Brokers
Morristown Real Estate Broker Negligence Disputes Lawyers
Defending Brokers and Representing Victims
As a licensed professional, a real estate broker has a fiduciary duty to his or her clients. This means that the broker has an obligation to exercise fidelity and good faith, with a primary devotion to the interests of his or her principal. This includes an obligation to keep certain kinds of information confidential. Brokers also have obligations to the public and cannot conceal material defects in a property from a buyer... Real Estate Brokers are also subject to liability, under some circumstances, under the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, which entitles an aggrieved consumer to an award of triple damage.
At Broderick, Newmark & Grather, P.C., we represent clients who have been victimized by real estate brokers in New Jersey. We also provide defense to real estate brokers accused of violating their duties to their customers. Attorneys Martin Newmark, who heads our real estate practice, and Alan Baldwin have the experience and skills to help you resolve your legal problems and real estate broker issues.

Are You a Victim of Fraud by a Real Estate Broker?
At our law firm, we help clients who have been harmed by real estate brokers failing to disclose property defects, such as:
- Water in the basement or flooding issues
- Mold in the walls, floor or ceiling
- Plumbing and electrical problems
- Cracks or defects in the foundation
- Title issues, liens and boundary disputes
We also represent victims of financial fraud, embezzlement or theft by a real estate broker. When a broker steals your money or fails to tell you of a known problem with the property, it is a violation of your trust. We can help you hold the broker accountable.
Are You a Broker Who Has Been Falsely Accused of Fraud?
If you have been accused of violating your fiduciary duty or committing fraud, you face potential fines as well as suspension or revocation of your license. In extreme cases, you could be facing criminal charges.
Our Morristown real estate broker attorneys will help you defend your license before the New Jersey Real Estate Commission and in claims by your former clients. We will work to maintain your reputation through the most cost effective method available, starting with negotiation. If that fails, we are prepared to defend you in court.
