Yes, you are typically required to disclose certain issues with the home to potential buyers, as most states have laws mandating this. Sellers must inform buyers of any known material defects or problems that could affect the property's value or safety. Common disclosures include issues like foundation damage, plumbing or electrical problems, past water damage, termite infestations, and hazardous materials like asbestos or lead paint. It's crucial to be honest, as failing to disclose a known issue can lead to legal consequences, such as the buyer seeking damages after the sale. Even though buyers usually conduct a home inspection, disclosing problems upfront builds trust and helps avoid complications during negotiations. If you're unsure about what you need to disclose, I recommend cons...
