Disclosures
When you put your house up for sale there are things that you know about your house that might not be obvious to a buyer. To help the buyer fully understand what they are buying there are a number of legally required disclosures. The disclosures must be completed honestly. Remember that when people are unpleasantly surprised they start to talk about suing. Some of the more commonly used disclosure forms are listed below:
Statewide Buyer and Seller Advisory-SBSA
Real Estate Transfer Disclosure Statement-TDS
Seller Property Questionnaire-SPQ
Water Heater and Smoke Detector Statement of Compliance-WHSD
Lead Based Paint and Lead-Based Paint Hazards Disclosure Acknowledgement and Addendum-FLD
Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement-NHD
Some of the more complicated disclosures can be satisfied by purchasing third party reports. One company providing such reports is JCP-LGS Disclosures. Samples of some of their reports are as follows:
