Despite my photo and the contract inventory, both the sellers and their agent claimed the chair was not included, and I would lose my $10,000 deposit if I refused the deal. The Villages pet closing agent agreed. But good news! My Villages fake realtor negotiated $100 for a $900 chair! Then they held me up for 30 minutes after the closing on various made-up issues, while the sellers were released.
I drove straight to the house, to discover the seller's Mercedes SUV in my driveway, with the master bedroom TV stand and TV in the back. I found them in my living room, having used their illegally retained key for entry. They were in the process of stealing my big-screen TV. We had words, and they called me a "Dumb Okie", apparently for stupidly thinking that a contract means what it says. I called the Villages pet law enforcement office -- the Sumter Country Sheriff -- who, after hearing the details, told me to take it up with my closing agent.
Bad window, you say? Suck it up! Whadaya think this is Oklahoma or somethin'?

We had something similar happen but with an independent agent. When we view the house and made our offer, we asked for the paint ca s, a file cabinet and some wood to be removed. When we went to the house after signing, EVERYTHING that was in the house had been removed EXCEPT the paint cans and the wood! The seller's realtor said the house was still the owners and they could remove what they wanted. When that realtor came a few days later to pick up his lock box, I said sorry, I own the house now so it's mine.
