Listing agents obtain information regarding properties that they list from many sources including the owners of the property. This information can be very overwhelming. Therefore, as a Buyer, it is imperative that you advise your agent of what specific aspects of the property are the most important to you. It then becomes incumbent upon your agent to verify the information that is most important to you.
Surveys:
Buyers are strongly encouraged to obtain a survey on all real estate purchases.
The survey will denote the exact location of boundary lines and the possibility,
location, and extent of any easements or encroachments which might effect the
property being purchased.
