I agree with you that brokers are not experts in zoning, but this broker should have told his client to go to the zoning department to verify. If I was the buyer's broker, I would have checked myself to protect my client.

If they had, then they would have found out it was not a three family.

Yes such a nightmare. I actually asked in writing multiple times to verify it was a triplex as that is what I was wanting to buy. I also asked in writing for the rents of each unit.

Yes, my agent sure didn’t help me. She actually told me it was a triplex. I’m just shocked they can advertise it in writing as a triplex and it’s not. Lesson learned. Working with the city to find a solution.

Purchased a property that was listed by sellers agent on Zillow realtor.com etc as triplex with rents listed etc. my realtor verified the rents, as it has been rented as a triplex for 25+ years, worked with both my realtor and listing agent through the sale. Spent a few months and about 40k rehab and was just told by the city it's not a triplex, or even a duplex but a SFH. Located in Kansas.
anyone been through this and/or suggestions on what to do?
