Jade C. Stone and Darcie J. Stone v. Charles K. Ford and Joyce A. Ford

MCDONALD, Judge.

This case arises out of a residential real estate transaction. In 2012, Jade and Darcie Stone purchased a home from Charles Ford and his now-deceased wife Joyce. In 2016, the Stones sued the Fords for a violation of the real estate disclosure law set forth in Iowa Code chapter 558A (2016) and for fraudulent misrepresentation. Following a bench trial, the district court dismissed the claims, finding the Stones failed to prove a violation of the disclosure law and failed to prove their claim for fraudulent misrepresentation. The Stones timely filed this appeal.
