A settlement was reached days before theFixer to Fabulouscouple’s trial was set to be held on Jan. 27, per a Jan. 24 filing.
The McGraths' lawsuit first claimed that they entered into a contract to purchase their Arkansas home from Jupiter Rentals (through Dave Marrs) on May 22, 2022.
The McGraths performed an inspection and submitted a list of repairs to Jupiter, per the filing. However, the document alleged that “not a single item on the list of repairs” had been performed as of their closing date of Aug. 28, 2022.
The McGraths also claimed that “a multitude of additional defects in the construction of the home” were discovered after they acquired ownership.
As they were provided a builder’s warranty from Marrs Construction, the McGraths attempted to seek an agreement with them to repair the issues per the warranty. But they claim the company declined.

The McGraths claim they tried to do the same via Jupiter Rentals, but the company did not respond.
As a result, the McGraths alleged in the lawsuit that both Jupiter Rentals and Marrs Construction breached the warranty, while Jupiter Rentals allegedly also breached the contract.
They stated that they were entitled “all costs associated with the repair” of their home that stemmed from the companies’ “failure to perform.” They also requested to be awarded their attorney’s fees and costs of litigation, per the filing.
