“Major Mom is a Major Difference”
It’s a small town. We once rented a home that developed a problem with the cesspool. While cesspools in East Hawaii are fairly maintenance free, this particular part of town has under ground springs which during periods of heavy rains are prone to cause back ups. Being an all round good guy, the property manager came as soon as he was called. One of the neighbors became disturbed by the “repair” noise and
about required disclosures that the seller may not know. When this happens, a supplemental agent’s disclosure is required. As licensed agents, we have no choice. Naturally, the agent should inform the seller so that in the alternative the seller might include the disclosure along with his or her own. Things get sticky when and if a seller makes a conscious decision
to withhold proper disclosure. REALTORS® must disclose or walk away from the listing. However, what if neither the agent nor the seller has direct knowledge of something that should be disclosed? Sellers and their agents have a duty to fully disclose information that would materially affect the value of the property. In my mind, this includes information that would affect a buyer’s decision to proceed with
a purchase. Absent direct knowledge of a potential disclosure issue, disclosure becomes a judgment call. That’s why inspections and supplemental addenda to the contract are
absentee owners can’t know every detail
about the property. Remember, when new information is discovered or conditions change about a property, updated disclosure is required. Interestingly, a natural death is not a material fact and disclosure is not required. It’s a good illustration of how the small town factor might affect a transaction. Potential buyers typically speak to the neighbors, the police department and even other REALTORS®. The fact that disclosure of a death in the property is not technically required may not carry much weight with a potential purchaser who has strong feelings about such things. They’ll probably just wonder if other disclosures were withheld. So, unlike that old Garry Moore TV show, when it comes to real estate and proper disclosure, telling all you know is no laughing matter. In real estate, there’s no such thing as “I’ve Got
a Secret”. It’s best to just tell everything you know...and hope it’s enough!
