Ok....this is exactly what I was sent via email from a realtor at POTV:


"This is an estimate, not a quote

The estimate I quoted this morning was not including a washer and dryer, but the house and the lot.

It did however, include what I estimate the building permits, water and sewer hook ups, State of Florida documentary stamps, impact fees.
I refigured the estimate plus the lot and I do have a figure of $201,000 rather than the $191,000 which I figured quickly before we met.

If we include the washer and dryer it would be an additional $1258 minimum.

The permits, doc stamps, impact fees, etc are figured on the final price plus lot so I am estimating an additional $10k .

The paperwork (contract) does list everything included in the cost of the home but it is not itemized by price. "


This is what I do not understand!! How can someone forget to add in $10,000 worth of fees and why isn't it built into the home when they discuss rates. I spent hours doing this prior to bringing family into town to make the deal and then this happens. I wouldn't have bought either!! I was embarrassed and confused....and who charges $1258 for the least expensive washer and dryer possible!!? I thought they would want to sell a house....but it has been a very difficult process....you would think they would make it a little easier.
