A seller’s disclosure can give a buyer a lot of useful information, but it shouldn’t be confused with a home inspection.
In many Texas resale transactions, the seller provides a disclosure notice covering the seller’s knowledge of the property, including certain systems, conditions, previous issues, and other required information.
The key word is knowledge. A seller’s disclosure tells you what the seller knows. It isn’t a guarantee that nothing else is wrong with the property, and it isn’t a substitute for having the home inspected.
That’s why I want my buyers looking at both: what the seller has disclosed and what their own due diligence tells them.
