Your attorney has just given you a file containing the preliminary investigative reports and notes concerning new clients Margaret and Paul Hendricks, After reviewing the various documents in the file, and after discussing the matter with your attorney, you learn the following facts. While vacationing in Nevada, the Hendricks, residents of the state of California, attended a sales presentation regarding vacation property located in Idaho, During the sales presentation, which was conducted by May Forrester, a real estate agent with Hearth & Home Real Estate Company, the Hendricks were shown numerous color slides of the vacation property, all depicting large, level lots surrounding a man-made lake. The lots were owned by Paradise Found, Inc., an Idaho corporation. The couple was told during the presentation that the lots were ready for building. The lots were offered for the price of $100,000 and only two lots remained unsoldand the realtor expected these to go quickly. Swayed by the sales presentation, the Hendricks purchased a lot without personally visiting the site. They paid cash and received a deed, Shortly thereafter they visited the property in Idaho, only to find that the lot they owned was nothing like the photos they had seen. The lake was completely dry, no building had occurred, and in fact a great deal of preparation would have to be done before any building could begin, There were no utilities, sewers, or roads. The Hendricks immediately contacted the realtor, May Forrester, the company she works for, Hearth & Home Real Estate Company, and the seller of the property, Paradise Found, Inc. The sellers refused to return the money, The file also indicates that Hearth & Home Real Estate Company is a partnership owned by Harry and Harvey Rice.

What potential causes of actions or allegations might you see in this case? What issues might arise? If the Hendricks decided to sue only May Forrester, would any other parties need to be joined? Why or why not?
