Question:

Debbie is looking to buy an apartment and reaches out to Professor Fan, who also happens to be a real estate broker, for his real estate services. Professor Fan takes Debbie to an apartment in a luxury building and tells her that it is the best apartment in the entire neighborhood. During their visit, Professor Fan did not tell her about the rats, black mold or the bedbugs that are hidden behind the walls. Professor Fan knew about these because he personally put up and painted the walls. Debbie contracts to buy the apartment for $1,000,000 and the contract has a standard "as-is" clause. Upon moving in, she discovers the rats, black mold and the bedbugs. She brings Professor Fan to court. Professor Fan argues that the apartment was sold, as-is. Judgment for whom?
