Abraham Reich was quoted in The Philadelphia
Inquirer article, "Pa. Supreme Court: Murder-Suicide in a
House Needn't be Disclosed by Seller to Buyer." Full text
can be found in the July 26, 2014, issue, but a synopsis is
below.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that a murder-suicide
in a home does not create a material defect and does not need to be
disclosed by a seller to a buyer.
"The issue at hand is a slippery slope of allowing a
psychological stigma to impact the value of a property," said
Abraham Reich.
