What do you do when you take a listing & the Seller won't complete the Property Disclosure Form? Does the Seller have to? Is there something I need to do? Watch the video to find out!

In Minnesota the seller is required by law to disclose "OR" Have the buyer waive any disclosure which seldom happens except for foreclosures.
What I do is if there is no willingness to disclose I ask the seller if they are willing to answer a few questions. When they say yes I hand them the disclsoures. I have never had any refuse at that point.

Thanks William Feela ! In Georgia, a Seller must disclose any latent material defects even if selling a property "as-is." There are specific contract forms that have questions for a Seller to disclose items about the property above & beyond what is required by law. Many Sellers here don't want to fill out those forms due to that additional info & it's referneced in the Listing Agreement.
Many Sellers will disclose what's required by law, just not on any specific form! Thanks for the info on how you handle it!

Often happens with relatives who inherit a home - like William Feela's suggestion about answering a few questions - great way to handle it.

I think you handled it the right way, but that’s a tricky situation for anybody that I’ve ever known if
