Plaintiffs allege that they are Chinese residents who decided to look into the California real estate investment market, with the intention of locating an upscale residential property, purchasing same and then either living in it or leasing it. Plaintiffs contend that they entered into an oral contract with Tony Xz Yu (“Yu”) wherein Yu would locate a suitable property, negotiate on their behalf and then arrange the paperwork for the purchase of same. Yu thereafter located the residential property located at 3068 Windmill Drive in Diamond Bar (“subject property”) for their purchase, but allegedly misrepresented the amount of the sales price, real estate transfer fees and fees for build-ins and fixtures.
