my realtor said that they would never give us a land upgrade at their cost.

Do you think that they would????? If we were firm enough? eeek!

So the package wasn't direct from a builder and a salesperson that works for the builder?

A real estate agent brought you to the builder or to a saleperson that works for the builder?

I would go back to the person that did the original alterations on your house and just ask how could you not know that the house would exceed the building envelope? (Again if really is a matter of an inch or two you won't notice the resizing)

Also is it the footprint of the house that doesn't fit or is it the height/air space of the roof encroaching?

What state are you in, btw?

a sales person who works for the builder - but we did talk to the builder too?

Its the actual house, its too wide I guess - I live in Missouri.

I think resizing is a great idea, but Johnny (hub) is upset I guess about the whole situation. He says if the lot cant fit our house it must be way too small and he does not want to crowd our house on a small lot. ? Our house is not big. I dont know what they plan to put on that lot then, considering our plans are one of the smaller houses in the neighborhood.

I plan on doing this, the house we live in now is about to sell. They should have broke ground a long time ago, and now I will probably have to rent.

You should be able to get a site plan which is a layout of the shape of your property and how your house sits on the property if you were a bird looking down.

The house is probably hitting the set backs but with the site plan you should be able to see what sort if front, back and side yards you should have.

It's all public information so there should be no reason why they can not get this to you.

Give them a call.
GOOD LUCK
