In most Washington home sales, the seller must provide a written disclosure, commonly called Form 17, unless an exemption or permitted waiver applies. It covers what the seller knows about the property, including title, water and sewer, structural issues, and environmental conditions such as flooding or drainage. If you see a “don’t know” answer that matters to you, raise it early with your broker or inspector and check the deadlines in your agreement.
For more information about the disclosure process, call Keith Bruce at 206-226-4663 or email keith@soundpointre.com.
