You’re preparing to sell your home and wondering what information you should disclose to potential buyers.

The challenge lies in knowing which details are crucial to share without overwhelming potential buyers.

If you don’t disclose important information, it could lead to legal issues and damage to your reputation. Buyers may feel deceived if they discover undisclosed issues after the purchase.

However, being transparent about your property can have numerous benefits. Disclosing any deaths on the property, roof leaks, the presence of lead-based paint (as required by federal law), known toxins, and any past water damage builds trust with buyers and helps you adhere to legal requirements.

This transparency fosters a smoother sale process, reduces the risk of post-purchase disputes, and enhances your reputation as an honest seller, ultimately increasing your chances of a successful and trouble-free transaction.
