Another common issue deals with the home inspection disclosure of defects in a house that’s up for sale.  On this, The Supreme Court (Johnson vs. Davis) ruled that the seller must disclose all facts that materially affect the value of the property.  Realtors, too, have an obligation to disclose issues that impact the value of a property.  The straightforward path is to be honest and disclose everything up front to avoid problems and expensive litigation down the road.
