So, <b>what should you disclose about a property?</b><br /><br />My best advice would be that <b>if you're questioning whether you should disclose something, you should just go ahead and tell the potential buyer. </b>No matter how big or how normal, you should disclose the history of the property to the best of your ability.<br /><br /><b>There are some homeowners that recently failed to disclose a sinkhole on their property, and they have been sentenced with criminal charges</b> for not disclosing this fact about their home.<br /><b>&nbsp;</b></span></span><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim1RKY_qZnUti8Ie1pT6E85xvKWjfMSQ2mbmi0TviWs1tFzCsQaFo9o-qB_pHxxG7Q6Sy5r4miFRsr7MSzqxq8IbB3nay9WMt7C0JtgoYwOK7OD_Jye4wqwCoo8NEXgH4H3RlYjy2jI8g/s1600/10.14.15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="110" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim1RKY_qZnUti8Ie1pT6E85xvKWjfMSQ2mbmi0TviWs1tFzCsQaFo9o-qB_pHxxG7Q6Sy5r4miFRsr7MSzqxq8IbB3nay9WMt7C0JtgoYwOK7OD_Jye4wqwCoo8NEXgH4H3RlYjy2jI8g/s320/10.14.15.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> <span style="font-size: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>This is very important if you're selling your home on your own.</b> A lot of FSBO sellers don't know this, but they need to spill the beans when a buyer asks about their property. Although it's an extreme case, you don't want to end up in jail just because you withheld some information about your property.<br /><br /><b>Buyers in Tampa should be careful to get a disclosure on a home that they're purchasing, </b>because as a buyer you're fully entitled to one. However, if you buy a foreclosure, you must buy it 'as is'.<br /><br />If you have any questions about this issue, or if you need real estate assistance in Tampa, please don't hesitate to contact us! We look forward to hearing from you!</span></span>
