Thank you for this warning.

When I was looking for a home in TV I wanted a certain resale area and as soon as it was suggested that I look at the new area instead, when I asked about sinkholes and they have never heard of them, the agent lost my confidence .... with MLS as soon as she answered my questions with she didn’t “understand” them, or it was not the right time to ask them, I involved other people. I asked anyone I met; the title company, the bank, future neighbors, TOTV, other real estate people etc for advice. The only person I never asked again about anything, or followed any suggestion they made, was “my” real estate agent.

And you are not dumb, you were not told “the whole truth” and some of us are trusting people and there are individuals who take advantage of that, especially when large amount of money is involved.
