Disclosures & Inspections

Your philosophy of revealing full documentation not only in presentation binder but also on the internet is definitely a win-win approach for buyer and seller alike. Your timely guidance and professional advice, from the expert opinion of an author on real estate, is highly appreciated.

We recommend your service to anyone who can use the help of honest and experienced professional in real estate.

Growing up in The Bronx, I often heard my mother Adele say the phrase “caveat emptor” — “let the buyer beware”.

If she were a Realtor, she’d now say “emptor informari” — “let the buyer be informed” (as translated by google)

Providing information on your home’s condition to the buyer is different from marketing, where we talk about all the things which make your home special.

Here’s why it to your advantage to provide buyers with a full set of disclosures, reports, inspections, and cost estimates before they make an offer on your home.

When buyers know the cost of repairs before they make an offer, their offer takes into account the work needed and how much it costs. Buyers are more comfortable making offers when they know what condition a home is in:

They offer higher prices

Their offer is “as-is” with regard to what’s been disclosed

Buyers are less likely to discover new problems during their inspection period

Transactions are much smoother with less (or no) renegotiations

They close faster

Informed buyers make better offers with fewer contingencies. Providing comprehensive reports and disclosures is one way we’ll sell your home for the highest possible price.
