I'm not sure what the realtor--or even the development company--was supposed to say. "Oh by the way, the guy across the street is a huge dick," isn't exactly the same thing as "Oh by the way the pipes leak," when it comes to disclosure; and even "He's a racist dick" could just as easily be seen as discriminatory if you wanted it to. (So you're saying I should stay in Atlantic City with my 'own kind'?)

And as to being a "thorn in the side" of the developers, that may not translate into being a problem neighbor. If he's one of those jerks who's always suing to get his house painted a slightly different shade of white or because the setback of the house across the street is 1.5" too close to the street, again, that's not the kind of thing you tell a prospective buyer because it's not the kind of thing a buyer is going to care about.

I'm not really sure that disclosure laws require the realtor to disclose EVERYTHING that might POSSIBLY affect your decision to buy because how much does the realtor have to know? "OK, so before you decide, the guy across the street is a jerk, the lady to the left has three cats, the man to your right has two sons who ride skateboards; there's a biker who sometimes rides down the street on a big Harley with no mufflers, you can hear road work from the freeway on still nights, once in a while you'll hear noise from the high school football games. The man with the sons hates the lady with the cats, you'll be right in the middle of that, and the old couple catty-corner to you will bring you casseroles every holiday even if you don't like casserole." Is that enough? Did they leave anything out, or when you discover the family two houses down has a pit bull, are you going to sue over that too?
