Seller disclosures basics
Disclosures protect both you and the buyer. Share known material facts about the property and keep copies of any repairs or permits.
Common disclosure topics
- Roof leaks, water intrusion, or prior flooding
- Foundation, electrical, or plumbing issues
- Mold, pests, or environmental concerns
- Improvements done with or without permits
Tip
If you don’t know an answer, say so honestly. Guessing can cause problems later.
Best practices
- Fill forms completely and legibly.
- Attach receipts, warranties, and permits.
- Update disclosures if something changes before closing.
