Selling a house is a complicated process where you need professional help. The legal requirements are complex and without the assistance of an experienced Realtor, you could be risking considerable expense as a result of law-suits related to the requirements for full disclosure, regardless of whether or not you are aware of them at the time of sale . Similarly, it is essential that the multitude of documents related to the transaction are completed correctly, so that you are protected from future liability following close of escrow.
