What happens if I don't disclose a problem?

Failing to disclose a known material problem with a home can expose a seller to a lawsuit from the buyer after closing, since South Carolina requires sellers to disclose known defects on a standard disclosure form. A buyer who discovers an undisclosed issue can potentially recover repair costs or damages through the courts. Brian and a real estate attorney can help you complete an honest, thorough disclosure so this risk does not follow you after the sale.
