15 Things to Consider When Selling Your Home
Thank you for calling our hotline. Following are 15 suggestions you should consider when selling your home. We hope you find them useful and interesting. We will be following up with a phone call within 24 hours to ensure you received the fax or just in case you have any questions, to receive this information by fax dial 6 now, or at any time during this recording.
Until recently, it has always been caveat emptor, "let the buyer beware." Today, it is more often than not, "Let the sellers beware!" When you are selling your home, you don't want open-ended liabilities that can possibly come back to haunt you long after your sale is completed. Here are some simple guides you should follow in completing your disclosure forms:
- Be as complete and accurate as possible with your answers to each disclosure question.
- Make accurate disclosures regarding dampness and moisture. Don't forget pooling water after rains. Disclose all known roof leaks and drainage problems, including your property draining over a neighbor's property or a neighbor's property draining over yours.
- Disclose details of any corrections and repairs you have made, or others have made at your direction, even when you believe the problem has been fixed. Provide the dates and scope of work done.
- If you believe certain work needs to be upgraded, and you have obtained written estimates for the work, provide those estimates to the buyer with an explanation of why the estimates were obtained and the work not done.
- Disclose all recurring problems such as sewage backups, other plumbing problems, roof leaks, electrical shorts or failures, basement leaks, cracks in walls, mildew and so on.
- Disclose when your roof has more than two layers of roofing material.
- Be sure to disclose all known environmental issues, such as the presence of asbestos, radon, soil contamination, expansive soil conditions, etc.
