My siblings and I inherited a small plot of land which we contracted with a local realtor to sell for $8000. He did and took his cut. Over a year later the buyer discovered that there were covenants on the property prohibiting her from building the home she desired. She sued my realtor and us for failing to inform her of the covenants (???). My realtor and her realtor settled out of court for $4000 each, PLUS, they will resell the property and give the proceeds to her. We, on the other hand, spend $3000 in laywer fees to show that we should not have been involved in this suit in the first place. Our lawyer says we have no recourse to recover the money we have spent in his fees. Surely that can't be right?
