After 38 years we are selling our house. We haven't sign on with a realtor yet, however we have visited with one that is a family friend. Our first task is a sellers disclosure statement which is 10 pages long with 355 questions of which some have more than one part. And upon advice of the realtor we need to buy a sellers protection plan. I am too old for all this Cow Cookies.
Alot of the questions are very poorly worded or just plain dumb. So you need to attach an explanation to clarify the answer.
My recent real estate purchase was from a friend. A hand shake, down payment and a handwritten purchase agreement. We agreed upon a lawyer and started moving our stuff. Finalized it 3 weeks later.
I truly feel sorry for all the Cow Cookies that take to purchase a home in these days. Bought our first house in 1969 and had to sign about 5 or 6 papers. Now its closer to 25 or so.
My point being is even after this elaborate disclosure document we are still on the hook if anything goes wrong.
