The Real Story with Adam & Sherry – Episode 13 – Disclosure Dilemmas: Understanding Seller and Agent Duties in California

What is a disclosure? How can a seller determine what they need to report to potential buyers? We have very strong consumer protection laws in California and disclosures are protected. Both sellers and agents have disclosure duties in California. We always warn our sellers, “Disclose, disclose, disclose or your neighbor will do it for you.” Most homes in California have 2 important disclosure forms the Seller Property Questionnaire (SPQ) and the Real Estate Transfer Disclosure Statement (TDS). Listen as we explain how we help our sellers understand what should be disclosed.
