@Hoyoon Chae I really don't know how else to say it...but one of the top sayings in my industry is "trust, but verify".I really, strongly, recommend you get yourself on the ground of any deal, or find someone who is 100% in your corner with knowledge and experience in homes, to act on your behalf...ideally both.You are trusting the opinion of your agent who gets to put food on the table ONLY when this deal is put through.
