Buyer Disclosures

Georgia Buyer Disclosures

Disclosure is an extremely important aspect of Buying and Selling a home. Below you’ll find a short description of common disclosures in Georgia. Please note, these descriptions are not intended to provide exhaustive explanations. They are meant to provide a brief, general overview. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your Advisor anytime!

Seller’s Property Disclosure:

This is a disclosure the Seller filled out regarding what they know about the property. Each section asks if any problem regarding the items listed exist, as well as things like the age of features, the source of water, etc. It also includes a comments section for the seller to go into further detail. The questions are to be answered to the best of the seller’s “current actual knowledge” – in other words, if the seller does not know about a particular issue, yet it exists, the seller is not held responsible to disclose it.

Lead-Based Paint Disclosure (homes built prior to 1978):

This is a disclosure from the Seller stating that since their home was built prior to 1978, there might be lead based paint in the home. For more about lead based paint, click here.

Affiliated Business Disclosure:

This is disclosed to you so you are aware if there is a business relationship with another company involved in your transaction.

Inspection and Condition Disclosure:

This disclosure shares with you some of the different types of inspections you can perform, as well as the approximate costs associated with each. All inspections are elective by you. Please ask your Thrive Advisor what he or she recommends on the specific property you are purchasing.

Mold Disclosure:

This is a disclosure regarding the possibility of the presence of mold in the property. Mold may not always be visible or detectable by an inspector, so if this is a concern, feel free to request a mold professional perform the necessary air testing. For more information about mold, click here.

Client Orientation Letter:

This is a great overview about how we choose other professionals that we may recommend to you, what you can expect and how you can shop for services.

Equal Housing:

A Realtor is required by law to treat all parties fairly without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, sex, age, marital status, sexual orientation, presence of children, or physical or mental disability.

Condos and Homeowner’s Associations:

All buyers and sellers of real property governed by an association should perform their own due diligence regarding the various rules, regulations and association fees. Contact the Developer or Association directly prior to entering into a contract to determine any matters that are important to you, including, but not limited to, whether there is any pending or threatened litigation involving the Association or whether current or anticipated repairs or improvements to the property or common elements could result in a fee or assessment. As a prospective buyer, you may be required to submit an application for approval to the Association and attend an interview.
