A: That type of matter really deserves to be evaluated by sitting down with a real estate & litigation lawyer to evaluate the documents, disclosure and agreements made. It could be that you may have a claim that could be brought in Court for your damages and attorney's fees.

If you would like to set up a free consultation for that, please contact me.
