My name is Chris Berger. Good afternoon and it’s time for Berger Point.<br /><br />You know, recently I was discussing with my client who was selling their house the disclosure document that they have to fill out.<br /><br />Basically, on this disclosure document they have to put material facts that are wrong with the house and everybody is pretty much open with it.<br /><br />But sometimes things can get hidden and sometimes the seller is not even aware of it until the inspection is actually made.<br />And let’s give an example of a material fact….<br /><br />Well, a buried oil tank is a material fact, something you can’t hide.<br /><br />It has to be remedied. Most buyers will demand before you sell your house.<br /><br />And there’s a number of ways of doing that.<br /><br />It can be filled in with sand.<br /><br />It also, for the most part, is removed.<br /><br />But getting back to the material fact, that has to be placed in the disclosure form.<br /><br />Now, it was pointed out to me and you really should set the tone as a seller right from the beginning — to set up an appointment with your attorney — because you already have a real estate attorney and a real estate attorney is familiar with these forms.<br /><br />You sit down with him and you tell him what you need to disclose by doing this.<br /><br />You protect yourself so…<br /><br />That’s my point.<br />--------------------------<br /><br />I'm Chris Berger and I'm sharing my 40+ years of experience as an NY & FL realtor, in home renovation & property management.
