Description

Carmen and Jose Sanchez appeal from the final judgment entered in their suit against appellees for damages arising out of their purchase of a house. They also appeal from the trial court's order denying their motion for attorney's fees. We affirm in part and reverse in part. Appellants entered into a contract to purchase a home, ""as is,"" from Alvaro Sandoval. A disclosure agreement provided that appellee Ronald Weigand would represent both appellant buyers and the seller in the transaction, and it identified appellee Braun & May Realty as the broker in the transaction, but it did not specify the nature of the relationship between Weigand and Braun & May. The purchase and sale contract provided that the prevailing party in any litigation arising out of the contract shall be entitled to recover costs and attorney's fees.
