The listing agent that claimed adverse possession on the property she sold

The Real Estate REplay

Aug 19 2023 • 1 hr 5 mins

This homebuyer story is quite possibly the worst story we have heard when it comes to accountability (or lack of) in the real estate industry.

As a kid, Antonio's family would drive through the wealthier part of Kansas City, MO and dream of one day owning a home there.   Some 40  years later, Antonio finally had that chance to buy a home for his parents in that neighborhood.     But what was supposed a dream retirement for his parents, turned into a nightmare when the Remax listing agent of the home he bought (who is also the neighbor) claimed adverse possession on the property she sold them.

Thanks to an incompetent lawyer, what should have been an open and shut case has now stretched out over seven years.   Over those years, Antonio's family encountered a botched contracting job, harassment, racism, alleged blackmail and more!   Yet through all of this, the agent, her broker, and Remax have never been held accountable.

The worst part of this story is that Antonio's father is now ill.   So, what should have been a luxurious, relaxing, happy seven years for his parents in that home, was ruined by the listing agent.

State laws and regulations may vary.
