Should I Tell Them About....

When selling a home there are numerous forms that must be completed. From the listing agreement, the purchase contract and counter offers, disclosures, disclosures and more disclosures! It all may be a little overwhelming! You start through the pile and wish it was over! Half of the forms begin to look the same! But be aware of the forms you are completing!

One of the most important forms to be completed in the selling process is the Transfer Disclosure Statement. Also known as the TDS. This is the form where you share it all. From the good, the bad and the ugly. By completing this form honestly it is going to keep you out of hot water with the new home buyer and keep you out of court!

Should I tell them about the raccoon that likes to get in our garbage?

Should I tell them aboutthe neighbor that plays his drum set until all hours of the night?

Should I tell them about the planes that fly overhead in the middle of the night?

Should I tell them about when the tub overflowed and we had to replace the flooring in the bathroom?

Should I tell them about......

No matter what the question may be, the answer is yes. If you know about something that affects the property, even if it doesn't bother you or doesn't seem to be a big deal, tell them.

In order to protect yourself from any claim, be sure and complete the form truthfully. Your REALTOR®
should sit down with you and go over all of the forms. Take the most time with the TDS. Ask questions. Understand the importance of disclosure and how it affects you and the buyer.

The best rule in Real Estate is when in doubt, disclose! Yes, you should tell them about......
