You must take anything and everything a real estate agent says with trainload of salt. I was shown one lot in TV, on a golf course, with a small retention pond about 200 yards away. They advertised it as “waterfront.” I ask the agent if this was an April fools joke (it wasn’t April), he was silent. And judging by his facial expression, he was embarrassed.
We would all love to trust all those around us, but sadly flawed human nature gets in the way. You must do your due diligence or get an attorney that works hourly and doesn’t care if you buy the property or not. Anyone with a dog in the hunt (commission) is always biased. And I mean biased towards themselves collecting that commission check.
Caveat Emptor.
