And if you are using a pinfinder with NO equipment, then maybe that's the wrong pinfinder. The one I suggested is well-equipped.
I had a agent (reputable) too ... Tell me that the lot I was showing him pictures of was NOT the LOT I was buying. This was in Hawaiian Beaches with a few homes around even across the street with address's. I studied the TMK maps and counted the lot from the nearest cross street. Even if you go to the county web page you can actually click on the map and see the address/owner information of the homes surrounding the lot.
Anyway, I quadruple verified TMK's, House Numbers, Google Maps, Street View, Cross streets, etc...etc... to make sure I was buying the right lot.
Moral of the story do your own investigating since even a well known realestate agents are wrong at times. We've all heard the stories where the guy builds a house on his neighbors lot!
