Plaintiffs, Great Lakes Plumbing & Heating of Northern Michigan, Inc., James P. Musselman, and Kim E. Musselman, appeal as of right the trial court's grant of summary disposition to defendant, WDLS, Inc., pursuant to MCR 2.116(C)(10).[1] We affirm in part and reverse in part.

I. Facts and Proceedings
On March 12, 1999, Glen and Nancy Proctor, who had been doing business as Proctor's Heating and Air Conditioning, entered into an exclusive listing agreement with defendant, whereby the Proctors granted defendant the exclusive right to sell the listed property, which included their business, inventory, and real property. On December 11, 1999, the Proctors and defendant modified the listing agreement to encompass only the real property, at a price of $289,000.
On February 2, 2000, plaintiff Great Lakes Plumbing & Heating of Northern Michigan, Inc. (Great Lakes), through plaintiffs James Musselman and Kim Musselman, its president and secretary, respectively, signed a document titled "PUCHASE AGREEMENT" that reads as follows: "Selling price of $324,900 with non-refundable deposit of $10,000.00 applied to price at closing. Land contract or bank financing will be determined by interest rate available. The agreed upon interest rate of land contract is 10%."
Deposition testimony established that the above-referenced language constituted an agreement by the plaintiffs to purchase the Proctors' land and business assets for $324,900. However, it is disputed whether defendant had any involvement in the negotiation *450 and execution of this agreement. Plaintiff James Musselman testified that he contacted Wayne Stahl, defendant's owner, concerning the property before executing the purchase agreement and that Glen Proctor had a telephone conversation with Stahl in Musselman's presence before signing the agreement. Separate bills of sale were prepared by Proctor for the inventory, equipment, tools, and good will of Proctor's Heating and Air Conditioning.
Pursuant to the advice of their accountant, the Musselmans decided to alter the terms of the offer so that they would purchase the real property in their individual capacities, while Great Lakes would purchase the inventory, good will, and equipment of the business, as well as Proctor's covenant not to compete with Great Lakes. During subsequent discussions with Glen Proctor regarding this new transaction, Stahl agreed to serve as a transaction coordinator for the closing on the real estate transaction. Defendant drafted a sales contract for the sale of the real property for $144,900, which the parties signed on February 21, 2000. Defendant also prepared an agency disclosure form, signed by the Musselmans and the Proctors on February 21, 2000, that indicated that Stahl would serve as a transaction coordinatorfor the real estate transaction, but that he was not an agent of either party. The agreed to transactions closed on February 28, 2000, at defendant's office. After the closing, the Musselmans leased the real property to Great Lakes.
Approximately one year later, the Michigan Employment Security Commission (MESC) made a final determination that Great Laks is a successor employer of Proctor's Heating and Air Conditioning pursuant to MCL 421.41(2)(a). MCL 421.41(2)(a) defines "employer" as "[a]ny individual, legal entity, or employing unit which acquired the organization, trade, or business, or 75% or more of assets thereof, of another which at the time of the acquisition was an employer subject to this act." The hearing officer determined that the Musselmans' lease of the real property to Great Lakes was a so-called "straw man" transaction and that Great Lakes therefore had acquired all of Proctor's assets. As a successor employer, Great Lakes received Proctor's rating account tax rate and, pursuant to MCL 421.15(g), became liable for Proctor's delinquent unemployment contributions, which totaled more than $30,000. Thereafter, in April 2001, plaintiffs sued defendant alleging that defendant failed to disclose the existence of this unemployment tax liability as required by MCL 421.15(g).[2] Plaintiffs seek the *451 recovery of damages incurred as a result of defendant's failure to make the required disclosure.
Defendant subsequently moved for summary disposition, arguing that it owed no duties to Great Lakes under MCL 421.15(g) and that the Musselmans did not suffer consequential damages because only Great Lakes incurred successor liability for the delinquent unemployment contributions. In its motion, defendant stated:
Assuming for purposes of this motion only, that Defendant Re-Max was acting in the capacity of real estate broker or agent for Glen and Nancy Proctor in the sale of the real estate, it is conceded that Defendant had a duty under MESA to disclose the Proctors' unemployment tax information to James and Kim Musselman only.... For purposes of this motion, it is also conceded that Defendant failed to disclose to James and Kim Musselman, the Proctors' unemployment tax information as it was required to do under the Act. [Emphasis added.]
The trial court granted defendant's motion. In its written opinion, the trial court determined that because defendant's representation was limited to the real estate and the real estate constituted less than seventy-five percent of the transaction, the statute did not impose on defendant a duty of disclosure. The trial court also concluded that, in any event, because the liability for the unemployment tax was levied against Great Lakes and not against the Musselmans, the Musselmans are not transferees under the statute and, therefore, are ineligible to make a claim for damages. Plaintiffs now appeal.

II. Standard of Review
This Court reviews de novo decisions concerning motions for summary disposition, as well as the interpretation of statutes. Detroit v. 19675 Hasse, 258 Mich.App. 438, 444, 671 N.W.2d 150 (2003). A motion for summary disposition based on MCR 2.116(C)(10) tests the factual support for a claim to determine whether, except as to the amount of damages, any genuine issues of material fact exist for trial. Lewis v. LeGrow, 258 Mich.App. 175, 192, 670 N.W.2d 675 (2003). "When deciding a motion for summary disposition [based on this subrule], a court must consider the pleadings, affidavits, depositions, admissions, and other documentary evidence submitted in a light most favorable to the nonmoving party." Id., citing Ritchie-Gamester v. City of Berkley, 461 Mich. 73, 76, 597 N.W.2d 517 (1999).
When interpreting statutes, our primary goal is to effect the intent of the Legislature. Roberts v. Mecosta Co. Gen. Hosp., 466 Mich. 57, 63, 642 N.W.2d 663 (2002), citing People v. Wager, 460 Mich. 118, 123 n. 7, 594 N.W.2d 487 (1999). We accomplish this goal by first examining the statutory language. Roberts, supra at 63, 642 N.W.2d 663, citing Wickens v. Oakwood Healthcare Sys., 465 Mich. 53, 60, 631 N.W.2d 686 (2001). If the language is clear and unambiguous, we enforce the statute as written. Roberts, supra at 63, 642 N.W.2d 663, citing People v. Stone, 463 Mich. 558, 562, 621 N.W.2d 702 (2001). We will read nothing into a clear and unambiguous statute that is not within the manifest intent of the Legislature as expressed in the words of the statute. Roberts, supra at 63, 642 N.W.2d 663, citing Omne Financial, Inc. v. Shacks, Inc., 460 Mich. 305, 311, 596 N.W.2d 591 (1999).

III. Analysis
We find that the trial court correctly concluded that the Musselmans cannot recover *452 consequential damages under the statute, but erred in finding that defendant did not owe a duty under the statute to disclose the outstanding unemployment tax liability to Great Lakes.
MCL 421.15(g) imposes a duty by a real estate broker of the transferor to disclose the outstanding unemployment tax liability "[a]t least two calendar days ... before acceptance of an offer." (emphasis added). The testimony of James Musselmanthat before the Proctors accepted Great Lakes' offer to purchase the Proctors' land and business assets pursuant to the original listing, Wayne Stahl was aware of the Great Lakes offer and had discussed it with Glen Proctorestablishes circumstances that, if factually true, were clearly sufficient to trigger defendant's statutory duty to disclose the relevant information under the statute two days before the Proctors could accept the Great Lakes offer.
In our judgment, it is irrelevant that subsequent negotiations changed the nature of the transaction, even to the extent that at the conclusion of the transaction defendant was no longer the agent of the transferor. The duty to disclose is imposed on the transferor and the transferor's agent(s) in the time frame before the transferor responds to an offer. The statute does not provide that the duty may be imposed only as to those offers made by the ultimate transferee. Implicit in the legislative requirement of a two-calendar day moratorium on acceptance of an offer by the transferor is the opportunity and possibility that a person or entity making an offer, after having been informed of a previously undisclosed liability, may withdraw the offer or seek to restructure the transaction in light of the newly disclosed liability. Great Lakes clearly did not receive the information it was entitled to receive under the statute, irrespective of how the transaction was ultimately concluded. Moreover, defendant offers no basis on which we can conclude, nor can we conceive of any such basis (especially in light of the liability imposed on Great Lakes by MESC), that Great Lakes was not entitled to be made aware of this potential liability before its offer was responded to by the Proctors.
We also disagree with the trial court's conclusion that because defendant's representation was limited to the real estate and the real estate constituted less than seventy-five percent of the ultimate transaction, defendant did not owe anyone a duty of disclosure. The plain language of the statute does not provide that the duty to disclose depends on the percentage of assets the broker or agent represents for sale. Representation of the transferor triggers the agent's duty to disclose, while the statute's reference to "75% or more of the assets" of the employing unit pertains to the determination whether the purchasing entity faces liability as a successor employer.
The trial court correctly concluded, however, that under the facts of this case the Musselmans are not entitled to damages under the statute. Regardless of whether they have suffered damages as the sole shareholders in Great Lakes, the statute provides that the real estate broker is liable "to the transferee." Because the Musselmans did not personally acquire "the organization, trade, business, or 75% or more of the assets from an employing unit," they are not "transferees" for purposes of the statute. Accordingly, MCL 421.15(g) does not provide them a remedy.
Finally, we reject defendant's contention that despite its failure to disclose the tax liability to Great Lakes, its good faith misunderstanding of its disclosure responsibilities under the statute provides an *453 alternative basis to affirm the trial court's finding that defendant is not liable for consequential damages. In relevant part, MCL 421.15(g) states that "the real estate broker or other agent is not liable ... if he or she exercised good faith in compliance with the disclosure of information." (emphasis added). The plain language of the good faith provision unambiguously applies solely to an agent who disclosed inaccurate information but does so in good faith, and offers no protection to an agent who, for whatever reason, makes no disclosure whatsoever.
Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. We do not retain jurisdiction.
NOTES
[1]  Defendant requested summary disposition based on MCR 2.116(C)(8) and (C)(10). Although the trial court's order does not indicate which subrule formed the basis for its ruling, the trial court relied on documentary evidence beyond the pleadings. Because a motion for summary disposition pursuant to MCR 2.116(C)(8) tests the claim by examining the pleadings alone, McManamon v. Redford Charter Twp., 256 Mich.App. 603, 610, 671 N.W.2d 56 (2003), it is clear that the trial court based its ruling on MCR 2.116(C)(10).
[2]  MCL 421.15(g) provides, in pertinent part:

A person or employing unit, that acquires the organization, trade, business, or 75% or more of the assets from an employing unit, as a successor defined in section 41(2), is liable for contributions and interest due to the commission from the transferor at the time of the acquisition.... At least 2 calendar days not including a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday before the acceptance of an offer, the transferor, or the transferor's real estate broker or other agent representing the transferor, shall disclose to the transferee... the amounts of the transferor's outstanding unemployment tax liability, unreported unemployment tax liability, and the tax payments, tax rates, and cumulative benefit charges for the most recent 5 years, a listing of all individuals currently employed by the transferor, and a listing of all employees separated from employment with the transferor in the most recent 12 months.... Failure of the transferor, or the transferor's real estate broker or other agent representing the transferor, to provide accurate information required by this subsection is a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 90 days, or a fine of not more than $2,500.00, or both. In addition, the transferor, or the transferor's real estate broker or other agent representing the transferor, is liable to the transferee for any consequential damages resulting from the failure to comply with this subsection. However, the real estate broker or other agent is not liable for consequential damages if he or she exercised good faith in compliance with the disclosure of information.
