As a Realtor, he must disclose everything.  The liability for the agent is higher because of being his own transaction.  So, in most cases, yeah...it's probably a good thing because he/she has more to lose.\n\nStill, get an independent inspection.

It might make a difference if you offered the country of the real estate agents, and the language in which they work.\n\nIs there a trademarked professional term for the realtor group?

I have seen them in action in the state of New Jersey. I found that there were many realtors, and developers there, and other professionals that were prepared to gobble up the bargains for re-sale. I would not partake in this type of purchase.

Take a look at the recent Readers Digest.  They report on scammers who buy property real cheap from people in financial trouble.  They told of this one family who was in danger of foreclosure and these "really nice people" had them sign a bunch of refinance papers with blanks on the form ("we'll fill them in for you later").  Even though they had a bunch of money in equity it turns out that they sold out their house.  The scammers then sold it to someone else as rental property, who then evicted them because the scammers failed to tell them that they were now supposed to pay rent to the new owner--naturally, not knowing, they hadn't paid rent.  Then the "nice people" were gone, with the profits.  I wouldn't touch that "opportunity" at all.

I would probably first go to your city and county offices and check to see if there are any properties that they own that they are looking to revitalize and see if they can work out a deal for you even if it is temporary.  You might also want to go to the local chamber of commerce and see if they can put your need into their newsletter or other communications as some businesses may have space that they would be willing to donate as a tax write off.

you'll have to prove the whole story. i hope you did a move-in written walk through inspection and took a few pictures as a prudent person would do when renting a house.  otherwise, it's his money.

That is normally not a big deal.  Just tell the Realtor when going in what you are doing.  They would appreciate that greatly...

If you are a Realtor, check with your broker. If not, it depends on what kind of regulations your state and local governments have regarding your question.

Yes this is legit. You must and you should.\n\n You don't want problems from prior ownerships to interfere with your rights to your property. And you don't want to pay the potentially ruinous cost of defending your property rights in court.\n\nA title insurance policy is your best protection against potential title defects, which can remain hidden despite the most thorough search of public records and the most careful escrow or closing.\n\nCall the title company you will be using and ask them if you need it of if the realtor is full of shit. They are the experts.

What does this have to do with Real Estate?

You probably have no case at all.  One of the contractual agreements that you both signed is for delivery of a clear title.  Since he can't deliver that at present, the agreement should be null and void.\n\nIf he reasonably believed that he had title when he offered the house for sale you probably have no recourse.\n\nEven if you do have a case, you're limited to actual damages in most cases unless outright fraud was involved.\n\nAs always, check with a local attorney who specializes in real estate law for advice specific to your situation.  (And next time, get an attorney up front.)

You might be able to find out some info on the computer, it's really going to depend on where you are and what exactly you want to find out. If you're looking for information about who owns the property, I'd suggest looking up your local tax assessor to see if they have a database. If they don't, you may be able to find out who they have listed as the owner by calling them. Yes, a title company search can tell you a lot about the property, but it may not be the information that you're looking for. Normally a title report (sometimes called a "commitment") will tell you about any open liens (mortgages, tax liens, unpaid contractors, etc.), easements, conditions and restrictions (for example, you can't have a fence more than 6' high in this neighborhood, that sort of thing). However, if you're looking for more of a history of the building (did any famous people live here, any exciting events, etc.), you'd probably want to check with the neighbors and/or the historical society. Hopefully this helps, Good luck!

Each statement may be different and often the security is the real poperty. Consider talking to a real estate attorney for your options.

As long as they are licensed Sales Agents or Brokers, They can be held accountable to the State Board for any misdoings if that is what your concern is. You are hiring this licensed professional to work for you. You as the boss make the rules of their employment.They, as the Employee, need to follow them. Ask for a copy of their license. (you can also ask for references for previous property management and find out if the former employer was satisfied with the work.)

From your Real Estate agent but be careful if you fill it out yourself. RESPA is not a joke.
