What are you legally required to disclose when selling a home? Being upfront protects you legally and makes the sales process smoother. Key disclosures include material defects (foundation cracks, plumbing, electrical), water damage or mold h istory, pest infestations, legal issues (liens, boundary disputes), HOA issues, and environmental hazards. Washington State requires the Seller Disclosure Statement (Form 17). Transparency builds trust and protects your sale.
