Heck, some of them might not really know what they have to disclose. Not knowing can be dangerous… I often wonder who people think they are trying to protect when we see agents put “No SPDS, No CLUE” in the public or private remarks of our […]

Details Do Matter

In a residential purchase contract, the details do matter… Sometimes, I am surprised by how many agents don’t pay attention to how a purchase contract works or how seemingly small details can raise questions. For example: Page 1 of our residential resale real estate purchase contract has a specific section for filling out the “Full Purchase Price” of the home and how it will be paid. For example, line 10 […]
