When your in a different state and trying to get all of your ducks in a row just to get closed. You tend to take someone to be honest... Lol never again will that mistake be made. Never dealt with a bond issue or anything like that where we are from. So a little naive, but like I said never again!
I'm sorry it happened. But, many people don't seem to realize that buyers never have their own realtor. All realtors represent the seller. But, if your facts are correct, the broker should acknowledge the error and use their liability insurance to reimburse you for your loss. I would pursue it if it is not too late. I would contact the broker in writing and ask for reimbursement, and send a copy of all correspondence to the Florida real estate license board, and make sure the broker knows you are sending it to the board.
