Disclosure can be scary for everyone sometimes, but I think that getting as much as possible out in the open can prevent MUCH bigger problems down the road. If a buyer has the seller's inspection and has one of their own, they can feel pretty good that they know the condition of the house. And I agree with you that the seller should do as much of the repair work as possible, preferably before putting the house on the market. Jonathan - Thanks for the comment.

Though the issue of disclosure would scare me as a buyer. The least a seller could do is to fix the items that they know are broken. The value of a home decreases when they feel that they have to do work. Good idea. Though the issue of disclosure would scare me as a buyer.
