Even though you have viewed the North Florida home you are purchasing, probably even multiple times, you still have not lived in. You have looked at the walls and ceilings, turned on the faucets and played with the light switches. The seller has years of knowledge about his or her home and there may be some things you want to find out about as quickly as possible. You will want to require certain disclosures as part of your offer. Simply put, you want the seller to disclose any unfavorable conditions that may have a major impact on your decision to buy the home. This would include any problems with the house, whether the house is located in a flood zone, a noise zone, or any other kind of hazardous area. A knowledgeable Northeast Florida Realtor will almost automatically bring this up. These kinds of offers should always be included in your offer.
