The seller’s property disclosure statement is a written statement that you provide to the buyer during the close of escrow. The goal of this statement is to disclose everything you know about the home to the buyer so they can make a fully informed decision about purchasing it.



Disclosures won’t necessarily spook a buyer.




The key here is to disclose anything and everything that you did. This includes any construction or remodeling, repairing electrical or plumbing; we encourage sellers to disclose anything and everything that you know about the property. Disclosing this information won’t necessarily spook buyers— it’s just a way for them to know everything you’ve done to the home so they can make an informed decision.

If you’re currently remodeling your home, it’s a good practice to keep receipts from the contractors working on your home in a safe place so that you can pass them along to the buyer when you go to sell your home.

If you have any questions about disclosures or you’re looking to buy or sell a home, please give us a call. We’d be happy to help!
