Re: Taylor Woodrow
The whole realotors thing out here is confusing at first, but the way i see it is if you havent signed anything, you are under no obligation to go with anyone.

3 hours of signing enough paperwork to cover 100 square miles of virgin Amazonian forest, and we basically skimmed through it all!

P.S. Hope you're using a cash back one!

similar happened to us that's why i mentioned the hoa in my earlier post....at closing if they have not been given to you by your realtor then you are legally allowed to delay or walk from the purchase... in our case we were given hoa papers but only found out 4 mths later after we had completely remodelled the house prior to moving in that they were the wrong hoa papers...we sued our realtor and won! luckily we were able to buy another one and will now put that one up for sale.
