DENVER – He bought his first home, spent $30,000 fixing it up, and now, six months later, Jonathon Kyte has learned the home doesn't belong to him.
According to the City and County of Denver, Jonathon owns the dump, next door. He found out about the mistake almost by accident when he received a map which showed the unit he's living is actually unit No. 4.
"I froze. My wife and I were just speechless," Kyte said.
Kyte owns the deed and title to unit No. 5.
Jonathon blames the Coldwell Banker listing agent for the mistake. She marketed the property and provided the key to the unit Jonathon and wife have been living in.
He called the listing agent again and again, but she wouldn't return his calls. He also called the title company, "Colorado American Title," and an employee promised to get back to him, but never did.
So Jonathon called FOX 31 News. We confronted the listing agent's supervisor, but he would not comment on camera. He said their lawyers were looking into the situation.
Jonathon is now considered a squatter in unit No. 4, and the people who were so willing to sell it to him, are now unwilling to help.
