I'm not an attorney but I recall reading in Real Estate law only what is written is binding. A verbal claim bond it paid, permits have all been filed, all work was properly done etc may or may not be valid.
Having these things in writing from a Realtor would not be enough for me. For example, if the Realtor said, in writing, the bond has been paid and it wasn't, you would probably need to hire a lawyer and sue the Realtor. Who wants to do that? The bond information, as well as the permits, are public information that anyone can check out. And remember, if you are the buyer, the real estate agent does not work for you or represent you.
