  1. In the past, I have experienced all of these problems. I quickly learned that estate agents know only know the local RE rules, and are not licensed and experienced trial attorneys and are not licensed Professional Engineers. Caveat Emptor, I rarely rely on statements, suggestions or assertions by any salesmen or anyone who has something to gain when I buy something. I will spend the money necesary for me to be convinced of the actual and real condition of the property. This includes GPR radar assessments of the foundation when a structure is not built on a raised foundation that can be completely physically inspected. I also hire a Real Estate attorney who must have a fiduciary responsibility ONLY to me before I submit any offers or sign any and every application, agreement or contract expecially if the form is written by the state association representing real estate professionals. These forms change all the time and I must be protected from my own lack of understanding of these written documents. I also ALWAYS use the services of a licensed real estate agent because they have important unwritten non public information about the property, history of area and the erason for selling TODAY.
