By DAVID S Y K E S REALTO R ON DISCLOSING D EFECTS The saying used to be. “Let the Buyer Beware." but be cause o f court decisions over the past decade or so, sellers need to be aware o f their re sponsibility to disclose all material defects and known facts that could affect the val ue and livability o f a home. The old days of closing the sale and letting the buyer dis cover any problems about the home for themselves are long gone, and most sellers need to go to great lengths to inform potential purchasers about important facts concerning the E S T A T E home. This is not to say that any and all conditions that are known and disclosed need to be repaired. That is not the in tent o f disclosure laws. The real bottom line is that all of the facts need to be put on the table - with nothing hidden - so that all parties can then ne gotiate in good faith with full know ledge of the condition of the home. At present, Califor nia and Maine have mandato ry seller disclosure rules, but legislative efforts are under way in 30 states to adopt sim ilar requirements.
