Dear Ms. Cathy:
I ran a township zoning board for 18 years. My experience is that real
estate agents (by whatever name) will tell a buyer anything! to make a
sale. Most of the serious problems dealt with by the board came from
buyers believing "their" agents. The agent is not your friend.
[The only honest agents that I encountered were involved with
million dollar sales with several lawyers (on each side) keeping them
honest, and one other agent who became so appalled at the lack of ethics
that she quit.]
A lawyer with experience in real estate is your best defense. Even
so, check and double check. You have been provided with some good
advice.
Consider the long term benefits of a slightly longer commute time.
In Michigan, 10+ A. is a farm and is treated better than a lot. Raising
antennas is best done on a farm.
Good luck. Remember that the agent, as friendly as she or he may
seem, is not working in your interest. Verify.

Cathy,

From experience, I would advise you not to depend on realtors, or
anyone else who has an interest in the sale, to inform you concerning
restrictive covenants. It's really not in their interest. The best
thing
to do when you find a property in which you are interested is to go to
the courthouse and look up the information yourself.
