Disclosures are boring… until they’re not. In Episode 2 of The Blueprint, Ken and Katie dig into the real-world side of disclosures, inspections, and liability in California real estate: what’s actually required, what’s “overkill,” and how to protect yourself without killing your deals.
Whether you’re a new agent or a seasoned broker, this episode will help you tighten up your files, set better expectations with clients, and sleep a little better at night.
In this episode, we cover:
The core disclosure stack in CA: TDS, SPQ, NHD, lead-based paint, earthquake, fire hardening, Megan’s Law, and wildfire-related forms
How different brokerages handle “extra” disclosures and why over-disclosure is now the norm
Pre-listing inspections vs. buyer inspections: cost, strategy, and when skipping inspections becomes a huge risk
Good inspectors vs. bad inspectors: how reports can either save or tank a deal
AVID (Agent Visual Inspection Disclosure): why it exists, how detailed is “enough,” and where agents create extra liability
Using septic, propane, HOA docs, utility history, easement maps, and permit reports to reduce surprises later
Buyer inspection waivers, “using the seller’s reports,” and what that means for your liability
The rise of AI summaries for inspection and HOA docs, and why agents still need to actually read the reports
If you work in real estate, this is the episode that will make you rethink what you put in your disclosure package and how you talk about it with clients.
