“Sold without any one doing a title search?”
Exactly my thought.....this is what a title search is for in the 1st place......and why my previous comment was the relationship between the realtor and developer needs to be explored in detail.
Did a google on the place. Big Island-Hilo side. Lots of lots available. All one has to do is clear the lot and build a hut. Homeless squatters all over. You wouldn’t want it strictly for a winter home.
