You are exactly right, the village realtors actually do not represent you when purchasing a home, particularly a resale home. We have had to repair several items that were not found by the home inspector or were told or lied about by the previous owner. We were only given one hour before closing to inspect what the home inspector did find wrong with the home, which ironically was done by the home owner, not a professional. We found out some cosmetic stuff was not even repaired. I believe we could have hired an attorney to have this stuff corrected, but we would have probably spent more money with the attorney than it would be worth. We do like the property and the neighbors though. Also we just found out recently our small lot was just reevaluated and increased 20 per cent from 40,000 to 48,000. Good old Lake County. They are basically robbing us in taxes.
