When discussing your home with a buyer, you have to remember that you are legally bound to tell them EVERYTHING about the property. It is best to get an inspector to look for things that you aren’t even aware of. They can find things that you wouldn’t even know to look for, and let you know how to handle the situation. Fix what you can then let your seller know about everything else. Knowing every detail about what is going on with your house can also help if you decide to go the For Sale By Owner route. If you are upfront with a buyer about the defects with the house, you will gain their confidence and it will show them you want to be honest with them. Any disclosures that you have should be put in writing so its legally sound. Make sure to get a recent copy of legally required disclosures so you don’t have any problems in the future.
