Most sellers provide a SPDS. this document poses a variety of questions for the seller to answer about the property and its condition. A buyer should carefully review the SPDS and verify those statements of concern. The ADRE advises: “Read the seller’s property disclosure report, and check every item on it. Ask to see receipts for repairs to the home… Look for stains on the ceilings or carpets that might indicate water damage. Read the purchase contract carefully to determine if there are any deadlines for challenging the seller’s disclosure report or for having your own inspections conducted.”

A real estate agent is not responsible for verifying the accuracy of the items on the SPDS. If the real estate agent is aware of a misrepresentation, the agent is required to disclose it to their client, but the agent is not required to confirm all the information on the report. Remember, your review of the SPDS is not a substitute for professional inspections.
