More details to this question:
I found out it was not homesteader after it was too late to obtain homestead exemption. Is the listing document, stating that it was under homestead, a legal document. Taxes have increased by $2300 for the year and I'm concerned that my home value will increase. Please help!! Thank you!

and thats what happens when people buy property and cheap out in not hiring a real estate lawyer to represnt them. Realtors are nothng more than sales people, so you cannot rely upon them to provide you legal advice or information. Homestead exemption is a public record that you equally could have confirmed. You now get to retain a real estate lawyer to help you address the homestead exemption issue and at least get you on the right track for future issues.
