[quote=Ren]But seriously, I ran into those issues and more. Our lot size ended up being 1,000 sf smaller than the advertised size, just because the whole tract had been given the same generic size and that’s what ended up on the records.
On a positive note, while we did see dozens of horrible layouts, we did walk into one (only one) where we instantly said “yes!” and ended up buying it.[/quote]
That’s why I mentioned in the past our home buying/selling system is not really defined responsibilities of “Realtors”. Except they charge some % dollar amounts I never saw that they took full responsibility of listing details. In the 14 page sign documents also they push all these actuals must be our responsibility while purchasing. Still I didn’t understand why the heck a seller need to pay around %% to the listing agent. Is that due to something a listing agent somehow getting arranged to sell the property (even with fake measurement details in the listing). I personally feel there must be mandatory code should exist like “someone should come into serious responsible act” when this kind of details listed. Also today everything is possible via internet to publish the real details and real records. To avoid such fake listings the code must be detailed at the listing time one should publish the real data from the records. Don’t know why not make all such as a mandatory law – though we had already mess-up enough this housing system with ignored mortgage laws in the past.
