Minnesota Seller Disclosure: “Are You in Possession of the Prior Seller’s Disclosure Statement?”

Image
Meticulous Record Keeping = Meticulous Maintenance? “Are you in possession of prior seller’s disclosure statement(s)? (If “Yes, please attach).” –Minnesota Seller Disclosure; p. 1, line 44. [ Editor’s Note :  The views expressed here are solely those of Ross Kaplan, and do not represent Edina Realty, Berkshire Hathaway, or any other entity referenced.  If you need legal advice, please consult an attorney.] As a Buyer’s agent, I always like to see the previous Seller’s Disclosure — that is, the Disclosure that the current Seller received from the previous owner, when they were the Buyer (got all that??). There are two reasons that that’s helpful: One . It provides a more complete picture of the home’s condition, especially if the current owner has been in the house a relatively short time (less than 3-4 years). When that’s the case, it’s possible that the current owner has never had a problem with such Minnesota bugaboos as a wet basement or ice dams — but th...

“Meticulously Maintained,” Deciphered

Not new — but “meticulously maintained.” Real Estate Synonyms — and Antonyms True or false: “Meticulously maintained” means the same thing as “updated.” Give up? The correct answer is “False.” In fact, “meticulously maintained” is almost always Realtor code for not updated. Ditto for synonyms such as “well-loved,” “quaint,” “vintage,” “long-time owner,” etc. (all very nice things, by the way — just not the same as “updated”).

Realtor Gaffes — Listing Presentation Edition

Image
” . . . and Your Dog’s Ugly” I recently heard about an agent who shows up at every listing presentation — essentially, a job interview for Realtors — with a conspicuous “Sold” sign that they leave in plain view of the prospective Seller. Apparently, the agent thinks it projects confidence, “go-getter” hustle, etc.** However, it backfired with an elderly Seller when the sign slipped just a little too deeply into the agent’s briefcase. I guess that would make it a “ mal aprop” ( sorry , I couldn’t resist). P.S.: I took the liberty of reenacting the goof — that’s actually my briefcase in the two photos. **I think the tactic could just as easily be construed as off-puttingly presumptuous — which is why I don’t do it.
