Under contract; promised parcel through Quit Claim

Hello Reddit and thank you in advance 🙏

First time home buyer in South Florida.

Prior to making a deal there’s a small parcel in front of my land/house. I asked my agent to ask listing agent to find out who owns smaller parcel which I have to go through per “right of way” to access my lot.

Was informed by listing agent they didn’t know who owned it and we were unable to locate an address for it either. Due to being overly excited we put an offer and went under contract instead of doing more research.

(We are purchasing a house from an investment company from California. Their listing agent is also their property management company)

After our survey, we were then informed of setback rules which would ruin our plans to build on this property. I did my own research and later discovered that the company we are purchasing the house from ALSO owned that small parcel.

I shared to my agent that I felt misled and lied to as this smaller parcel already gave me doubts in the 1st place. He shared to the listing agent who claimed she had no idea her client ALSO OWNED that parcel. So we asked to find out their plans for the parcel and if they are willing to let it go (for a price or as part of the original purchase of sales agreement)

A week later the listing agent informed my agent that the company has no use of such small parcel (25ft by 50 ft) and decided to give/let go of that parcel via QUIT CLAIM DEED. And that I would have to file it and pay the fees ONCE WE CLOSE ON THE HOUSE this Wednesday.

I asked my agent to create an addendum to bind said parcel/earn a guarantee that this COMPANY WILL give up that parcel. He stated by adding to current contract, it might jeopardize our current deal with the lender/approval process.

I asked for the alternative which would be a letter or statement stating said plans for the small parcel to be given to us once we closed, in which my agent responded with “I have it in writing and text which should be enforceable”

May I have advice on this process? I’m still pushing for a letter but am I also verthinking this? The deed on public records shows the company owning this parcel. Thank again

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear

Fast Rising HOA Fees on NYC Condo, No Budget Provided

My wife and I are first time homeowners and could use some advice on a situation we've been having with our management company and Board. We bought a condo in Brooklyn two years ago, and since then our HOA fees have climbed dramatically. In August of last year, our fees were increased by ~30% and just yesterday we received notice that this new figure would be increased by 16% as of June 1st. The by-laws for our building state that ten days before such a change goes into effect, the Board must provide unit owners with the itemized budget upon which the new numbers were based. This didn't happen last year, and when I asked the management company about it, they just kept vaguely insisting the Board had done due diligence. After I kept pressing, they finally sent a budget that was several years old, so obviously not the one that the new numbers were based on. When I asked the management company for contact information for the Board to get further clarification, I was told that th

How to create fidelity investments current bank statement for lender during escrow

I transferred a certain amount to my bank account to complete the minimum down payment required. The bank wants a current statement of the transaction. Unfortunately, fidelity only does quarterly statements so a December statement is not available and we are due to close next week. I called fidelity and they they can only provide a letter but the bank said that won’t suffice. Any way I can find or make one of my own that has my account number/name along with all the recent month’s activities? submitted by /u/bodaciousbeans [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/zmnnqo/how_to_create_fidelity_investments_current_bank/
