Home Seller Must Disclose Material Facts

It’s true… A home seller must disclose material facts when selling a home. Unfortumately, not all home sellers think it is a good idea. 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 […]
