Four months ago, I sold and close a condo owned by Fannie Mae-the buyer called me asking if she has ground to file a complaint against the selleer- who made her sign a disclaimer property sold "as is"

According to the buyer, she discovered the house was burnt and was rebuilt and put in the market, but she is now found out the floors was covered up by new carpets was all burnt wood underneth.  She first suspected it when after a month she start seeing black soot coming out of the carpets, probably sucked up by vacuum cleaner and now the buyer smell burnt in the closets and in the kitchen. 

They decided to look under the carpets and discovered the burnt wood- all black and damaged was covered by new carpeting.

Is there any grounds of filing a misrepresentation or fraud in this situatuon?

Please advise.

No, the sale is As-is and the buyer signed willingly as far as courts will be concerned. Plain and simple.

 One thing you can check, what is on the seller's portion of the TDS. Yes, properties are sold as is most of the time but all known or should have been known defects MUST  be disclose ( fixing is not required). But check with a lawyer
