What if I Am Selling the Home "As Is"?

Selling "As Is" is meant to indicate that you are not doing any repairs. It is not used as a way to avoid disclosing material defects that would not be discovered by the buyer.

What is a Material Fact?

Any fact that could affect a reasonable person’s decision to buy, sell, or lease is considered a material fact and must be disclosed to the parties in the transaction and any interested third parties. A broker is required by law to disclose to each prospective buyer any material fact about a property of which broker is aware or should reasonably be aware, even if the seller chooses not to disclose or makes no representation concerning the matter.
