Most real estate problems don’t start with dishonesty.They start with memory and inadequate preparation.In this episode of Real Estate WITHOUT Agents, Rock Florida breaks down the one document every homeowner should assume will matter eventually — the Seller’s Property Disclosure (SPD).Not because it’s exciting.Not because it’s fun.But because it’s foundational.Using real appellate court cases, real homeowner disputes, and 20+ years of in-the-trenches experience, Rock explains why omissions — even unintentional ones — can expose sellers to lawsuits years after closing, and how honest, thoughtful disclosures serve as a seller’s primary defense.This episode covers:• Why the Seller’s Property Disclosure resurfaces more than any other document• A recent Washington State appellate case involving undisclosed foundation issues• Real examples of disputes involving water damage, insurance claims, and HOA restrictions• What agents can — and legally cannot — help you with on disclosures• Why “saying less” often creates more risk• How to approach disclosures as a faithful steward, not a fearful sellerIf you’re considering FSBO, owner-representation, or simply want to protect your equity and sleep better at night, this episode reframes disclosures through one critical question:“How does it sound to the Judge?”🎯 Action Step from the Episode:Download a Seller’s Property Disclosure form for your state, review it slowly, and place it in your Due Diligence folder — but don’t rush to complete it yet.📘 Free tools & resources (including a disclosure template):👉 https://www.realestatewithoutagents.me/resources🎓 Real Estate WITHOUT Agents™ MasterClass & CoachingPreparation.
