Comments on: Seattle Real Estate Getting Its Mojo Back? http://thesunbreak.com/2012/03/01/seattle-real-estate-getting-its-mojo-back/ Curious Georges in a conversation with Seattle Fri, 29 Jun 2012 20:07:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Calahonda http://thesunbreak.com/2012/03/01/seattle-real-estate-getting-its-mojo-back/#comment-90254 Calahonda Thu, 15 Mar 2012 22:43:35 +0000 http://thesunbreak.com/?p=886068#comment-90254 I am in escrow on some property in which the seller and his real estate agent were not very forthcoming in their disclosure statements. Through a third party I found out some things about the property that are detriments (such as occassional flooding) but I am willing to overlook them and still purchase the property. I have released all my contingencies and we have a close date set. My real estate agent happened to tell the seller's real estate agent that we found out some of these things on the property - most importantly about the flooding - and now the selling real estate agent wants me to sign a bunch of documents listing out what I found out as if she had told me about them. I don't want to do it - it took considerable effort for me to uncover these issues and I have already signed off on contingencies. I don't think I need to also let her off the hook as if she had disclosed these things to me - she did not. Can the realtor force me to sign these?

My real estate agent happened to tell the seller’s real estate agent that we found out some of these things on the property – most importantly about the flooding – and now the selling real estate agent wants me to sign a bunch of documents listing out what I found out as if she had told me about them. I don’t want to do it – it took considerable effort for me to uncover these issues and I have already signed off on contingencies. I don’t think I need to also let her off the hook as if she had disclosed these things to me – she did not. Can the realtor force me to sign these?
