Seller Smith hires broker Jones to list his home. Neither the seller or his broker have actual knowledge that the property is located in a hazardous earthquake, flood, or fire area; and for that reason they decide they will not make the Natural Hazard disclosure. The buyer checks with the county after close of escrow and finds out that a map exists that shows the property is located within a particular hazard zone. Which of the following statements ?
1) Since the seller and seller's agent had no actual knowledge that the property was located in a hazardous area, they cannot be held responsible
2) Since the buyer had the opportunity to hire a third-party professional to investigate this matter, the seller and seller's agent would be without fault
3) Since there had never been a fire, flood, or earthquake in the area, the buyer has no recourse
4) Since the map was available from the county where the property is located, the seller and his agent will be considered to have knowledge of the fact that the property is in a hazardous area
