Re: buying land

Your question is unclear. Was the real estate broker the land owner, or did the realtor just represent the land owner? Regardless, you were foolish for putting in a driveway on property you did not own. If the broker is the landowner there may be things you can do that otherwise you could not in terms of a legal situation.
