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.
