Plaintiff-Appellant,
v
LAWYERS TITLE INSURANCE, CORP.,
CAROL STROUPE, BARBARA J. STROUPE,
STATE REALTY, INC., d/b/a CENTURY 21
STATE REALTY, and PATRICIA E.
SPRENGER,
No. 241450
Monroe Circuit Court
LC No. 00-11474-CH
Defendants-Appellees.
Before: Schuette, P.J., and Cavanagh and White, JJ.
WHITE, J. (concurring).
I join in the affirmance. Century 21 and Sprenger made no representations, either
directly or through Stroupe as its purported agent. Although there was evidence that Barbara
Stroupe may have known of the drain from an isolated comment at a zoning board of appeals
meeting, plaintiff failed to show that he relied on the disclosure statement in determining
whether there were any easements that might affect the value of, or his ability to build on, the
property. With respect to Lawyers Title Insurance Company, the record failed to establish that
there was, in fact, an easement or right-of-way on file at the office of the Monroe County Drain
Commission or Register of Deeds.
