Making Disclosures                about Tampa Homes

Disclose everything about your Tampa home to the buyer. As a seller, you are legally bound to do so. Any defect that can be pertinent to the sale of the home must be made aware to the buyer. You might even want to get a home inspector to look over your property. The inspector will have a better sense of what to look for and will know how to properly handle the situation. Some of the defects found might be an easy fix. If that's the case you should definitely take care of the problems before putting the home on the market. If there's something that you can't take care of, and is mentioned on the disclosure list, you will have to notify the buyer. 

Disclosures should be put in writing. Verbal disclosure is not legally sound. The following are some examples of issues that need to be disclosed. This is not a complete list.

• Defects in the plumbing system, the electrical systems, or the ventilation systems
• Defects in the foundation
• The presence termites, lead paint, or asbestos
• The presence of Sink holes, flood plains, or lot line disputes

Talk with your Tampa Realtor to obtain a recent copy of Homeowner disclosures. It is important to be entirely truthful with your disclosures. It can help protect you against future legal troubles.
