Plaintiff Joseph Shaffer (Buyer) appeals the summary judgment entered in Civil No. 57588 dismissing his negligence claim against the sellers' brokers, defendants Earl Thacker Co., Ltd. (Thacker), and Barbara Thompson (Thompson).

The issue is whether Thacker and Thompson are entitled as a matter of law to a judgment that they are not liable to Buyer for the tort of negligent misrepresentation. We answer no and reverse.
