Frequently Asked Questions
The Complete Seller Disclosure Checklist for Home Sales
Selling a home comes with legal responsibilities, and one of the most important is providing a comprehensive seller disclosure. Our free interactive checklist helps you review and document every aspect of your property's condition, ensuring you meet disclosure requirements and protect yourself from future liability. Whether you're selling your first home or you're an experienced real estate professional, proper disclosure is essential.
Why Seller Disclosure Matters
Seller disclosures serve to protect both buyers and sellers in a real estate transaction. For buyers, it provides transparency about the property's condition and history. For sellers, proper disclosure reduces the risk of post-sale lawsuits and claims. Courts have consistently ruled against sellers who failed to disclose known defects, making thorough documentation more important than ever.
Common Disclosure Categories
Our checklist covers all major disclosure categories including structural issues like foundation and roof problems, systems such as plumbing, electrical, and HVAC, water damage and moisture issues, environmental hazards including lead paint and asbestos, legal matters like liens and easements, pest and termite damage, and other factors that could affect property value. Each category includes specific questions to help you think through every potential issue.
Best Practices for Property Disclosure
When completing your disclosure, always err on the side of providing more information rather than less. If you repaired an issue, disclose both the original problem and the repair. Keep documentation of all repairs and maintenance. Be honest about your knowledge level and don't guess. Finally, work with your real estate agent to ensure your disclosure meets all state and local requirements.
