During the showings of your property, most good agents will ask me if there are any known problems with the property that they should tell their clients about. This is good as we do not want a buyer coming back asking for a credit if they find out something bad later. Or even as weak as they did not see something in the disclosures and now they want a credit. This is the surest way for a deal to get cancelled costing everyone time and money.
A leak at the kitchen window when it rains is not going to kill a deal or make anyone ask for major credits (well, it could, but not usually). But if a buyer finds out after they buy the house that a roofing company had been there telling you that the roof was leaking a year ago, and you did not tell the buyers or have it in the Transfer Disclosure Statement, you can get bet you are going to get sued. And people get sued all the time for much smaller things than this.
One of my major responsibilities, along with getting you the best price for your place, is to make sure that you do not have any problems during the transaction or after. Selling property is stressful enough. You do not want sleepless nights wondering if you are doing something wrong. I carry E&O insurance through Vanguard Properties for any errors or omissions I make. At this point, I am free of anything remotely like that for all of our/my/her clients.
I will schedule a time to review and complete the Disclosure Package with you. This will be much easier than trying to figure it out yourself. It is not this bad, but almost.
I will also be present for any and all inspections that the buyers will have on the property. I will always report to you the status and results of any inspections and make sure that they do not cause you any problems.
