A California state court jury in Compton, Californian, has returned a $500,000 punitive damages verdict against a real estate agent accused of concealing a home’s extensive fire damage from the eventual buyer. The jury found in favor of plaintiff Jose Jimenez for suing his real estate agent Louis Teque and Capero Investments Inc. after purchasing a home he claimed he could not live in due to fire damage. Sandoval characterized punitive damages awards in Compton as “very few and far between” and said he felt the jury reacted strongly to the idea of a community pushing back on predatory behavior by real estate agents.
