Re: real estate

Probably, for negligent hiring, negligent supervision, perhaps more, depending on what they knew or should have known about this particular builder's business practices or ability to complete construction in good faith without taking off with customer's money. The wrinkle is that your contract was with the builder, but that might be overcome.

Contact me if you'd like to discuss this further. The home seller might have insurance for this kind of liability.
