Disclosures

I was just talking to someone that asked me if they should disclose a drainage problem seeing as how the chance of rain is nil until next winter. When in doubt, disclose!

Your Realtor is responsible for all the paperwork and negotiating but they aren't mind readers. Your Realtor must see that the proper disclosure forms for the city and county are delivered with the contract, but it's the homeowners responsibility to disclose any known defects or conditions that would affect the value, appeal or useability of the home. I am assuming the Realtor is not aware of the issues not being disclosed and that the Realtor has given the seller a disclosure form to fill out.

Disclosing up front rarely kills a deal, but when the buyer finds out later that something was not disclosed there could be a huge problem. When in doubt, disclose, no matter how trivial.
