The Legal Duty Of Disclosure In California

Real estate buyers, sellers and agents have certain legal obligations under California law. One of the most important obligations is the duty to disclose all known material facts that would affect the buyer’s choice. This includes any known construction defects, any clouds on the property’s title and any other issues that may influence the value or desirability of the property in question.

The seller’s broker also has the duty to disclose his or her knowledge of any material facts that are unknown to the buyer and that may influence the decision to purchase the property. Even in situations where the property is sold “as is,” the seller and his or her agent are not absolved from their duty to disclose. Failure to make the buyer aware of pertinent facts can constitute real estate fraud.
