Seller Disclosure Yellow Flags
“Because of the extreme allergies of the seller’s daughter, PLEASE no food or drink in the home during showings.”
–Agent Remarks, MLS
When I showed the Golden Valley home with the disclosure above last year, my “Realtor antennae” immediately went off.
That’s because I knew the Seller had been in the home a relatively short time, and had extensively remodeled the home prior to moving in (the home had been seriously neglected by a previous owner, and in need of major rehab).
I shared my concerns with my Buyer, who ultimately bought another home in a location they preferred.
(Conspicuously) Odd Showing Instructions
So, what happened to the home with the allergic child?
Someone else bought it, and — according to my sources — ultimately had to do extensive mold remediation after moving in.
No word on whether they pursued the Seller for any disclosure-related issues.
