Seller’s Checklist
When selling real estate it is of utmost importance that seller’s provide certain information to a buyer in the form of disclosures. These disclosures are legal binding documents and in many instances are required by law. It is equally important that buyer’s provide seller’s with certain disclosures such as any contingencies and ability to obtain financing.
