Don't think you can get caught lying on your disclosures?

Had a call from a recent buyer today...

Bill, we are having sewer issues. .

"There was a septic inspection done and it came back good. Any ideas?"

"Yes...The neighbor said they have been having issues with backups for several years."

ON the disclosures the seller said they had had no problems with the septic, but we are finding out that is not true. The septic inspection is not fool proof especially when the issue is the drain field.

I have had sellers say, "Well, how would they find out?"

This is how. Neighbors, same pumper, I even had a relative that told a client that his nephew lied.

Thinking of lying on your disclosures? Think twice. You never know who will rat you out!
