True, be safe and let them do their own homework. To assist you can provide them with various website addresses to help them with the process. Such as the national sex offender website.

I am not sure how much it would affect the sales price, but I am sure it does.  The only thing I will say is this it really depends on the offense.  I never offer my opinion either

Interesting, I never thought about that. Our Buy/Sell's allow buyer's to check for this under Megan's Law. Is this something that has to be disclosed?

Kevin & Monica,

In Michigan, this does not have to be disclosed, yet.

I have never had that come up in a sale, but I have had it come up in a rental...my client would not rent to a sex offender..

Mo,

Several blogs have been written on this subject and I always have to add that if people check the registry also read what their crime was.  Some are not heinous crimes at all while others may be.  I always wonder when this comes up though, what if we had these same registries for people who were just released for serving a murder conviction, arson, home invasion, drug trafficking.  I understand the concern with sex offenders if it involved children, especially if you have children, but shouldn't we be concerned about the others as well.  Just my thoughts.
