Good Morning,
It has come to my attention that some homes, listed in our MLS, that
experienced water damage during the recent Hurricane are not disclosing the
water damage.
This may or may not be a violation of the Code of Ethics and may or may not
result in a civil action in a court of law.
Please remember that the Code of Ethics, Article 1, requires RealtorsR to
treat all parties honestly. The Code of Ethics, Article 2, states that
RealtorsR shall avoid exaggeration, misrepresentation, or concealment of
pertinent facts relating to the property or the transaction.
This notice is not a legal notice or a legal interpretation but a suggestion
that you may want to error on the side of caution when listing such a
property. Remember when in doubt..Disclose, Disclose, Disclose..
Thank you,
Victor
