I feel badly for you Toucano, it seems you were not given the correct information and treated poorly. Unfortunately the realtors have the advantage in their hand in that it falls in that don't know so can't prove it kinds of situation. They don't ask so didn't tell you wrong. It is only my opinion but you do have to have an ethical realtor who is willing to forego the dollars to tell you about things like this ahead of time and take the time to find you a piece of property that fits. Unfortunately I have read about lots of things happening that don't sit well with the sales there. Yours isn't that unusual.
I had one realtor that I contacted for an appointment a month in advance to see in Kona. I got there and he had prepared his standard notebook of properties to see and handed it to me and they were all in the area I specified that I did not want to see. How is that for paying attention. then he said he would correct it. He never did and I called back a few times and he never retured my calls. This was in 2000, when it was not so busy and there was lots of time, I was there for 30 days. You know him from the KW forum, he posts often. It is not Mr. Rabi in case you are thinking of him. This is not the only gross errors that I have seen or heard about.
I have often wondered too about sales hype of realtors saying that there are others who are bidding on this property and you then bid more to over bid them and then it is not really the case. I don't see how one can really find out that there are others bidding at the same time for the property. They have that continquency on them, that I do not understand.
Tell us how it goes Toucano and if you get it all straightened out or if you have to resell your property or what you deciede to do.
