We were misled and duped about this house....

My gripe is more with real estate agents than the property. When I bought and sold houses recently, the the agent I hired did nothing but stand there when I looked at the house I bought. She didn't even come to show my old house when there was an interested party coming. She would call me to let me know someone was coming and I'd show the house myself (I should have received the commission!). She did show up at the closings to grab her check, though.

deb, I don't trust them. I sorry, I just don't.

Colleen, been there, done that in a hot real estate market. I do not know if it is the same for you but here it is "Buyer Beware"

Since I had expressed my concern in front of both the realtor and the owner about a soft spot in the hall that they lied about I threatened the realtor with reporting to the local real estate board.

Magically an envelope with money appeared in my mail box. Something you might try.

When I bought that house in 2001 I was told the heat pump was only a few years old. That was a lie and I eventually had to replace it. When I had it serviced, I was informed the real age. So I called the listing agent. He was an indignant ass to me. Didn't get any compensation.

I don't know why it didn't come up in the house inspection. I wonder about how good some of those are. I remember my agent just telling me how good looking in the inspector was. Seemed to be her main concern.

I'm glad you got compensation. I think it happens to far too few.
