How Much Do I Have to Disclose to Buyers?

by Jen Holden

this is a #faq that we discuss often with our sellers: how much do I have to disclose to buyers?⁣

⁣

The short answer: Everything you know.⁣

The longer answer: You’re required to provide a written description (your agent will give you the form) about any known issues with your home that could hurt its value.

Those issues include:⁣

Termite damage⁣

Presence of lead-based paint⁣

Foundation cracks⁣

Plumbing or HVAC issues⁣

Septic or sewer problems⁣

Homeowners association fees and restrictions.⁣

⁣

The seller disclosure is good for buyers AND sellers. How? It brings transparency to the transaction, minimizes delays, and heads off the risk of legal headaches down the road.⁣
