What do you have to disclose when selling a home in Texas?

When selling your house in Texas, what do you have to disclose to potential buyers?

You are required to disclose any material fact that could possibly affect the value of the property. 

For example, if you've ever had a fire of any sort you'd have to disclose it. Now, this property behind me was utterly destroyed by fire.

-If you've ever had a roof leak you must disclose it
-If you've ever had a termite you must disclose it
-If you have an electrical deficiency you must disclose it
-If you've had a plumbing leak you must disclose it

In fact, my client fill out a five page disclosure form to help them comply with the law.  It helps buyer's be knowledgable about any deficiencies with the home. It also helps them understand the features of the home.  The form contains both the pros and the cons.

This form helps protect sellers from litigation after the sale, by complying with Texas law.

So, whether you are buying or selling be sure to work with a knowledgable REALTOR® who will look after your best interest.
