What priority should you hear coming from a “listing agent” regarding  real estate? In my opinion it should be “Disclose, Disclose, Disclose.” Now this may scare some of you potential sellers…but think about it carefully. Always put yourself on the other side of the transaction. If you’re a buyer and someone has told you everything about a property (ie…the modifications, home improvements, repairs, and even the little quirks), you’re more likely to be fully satisfied with your purchase  and not want to sue someone if you knew about it ahead of time. I’ve found that buyers don’t usually walk away from too much disclosure. It’s usually the other way around. Many buyers are nervous receiving disclosures from sellers with little to nothing on the paperwork. I mean seriously…can you really live in a house for even as little as 5 years and not have something you’ve fixed, improved or had to giggle a certain way? Come on sellers!!! Disclose, disclose, disclose. This makes common sense and will keep you out of the courtroom. Not to mention…it’s just the right thing to do!
