Frequently Asked
Do I still have to disclose problems if I sell as-is?
Quick Answer
In most cases, yes. Texas's Seller's Disclosure Notice requirement applies regardless of as-is terms, with only narrow legal exemptions (such as certain trustee, foreclosure, or new-construction first-sale transactions). Sellers should disclose based on their actual knowledge of the property, and sellers unsure whether an exemption applies should confirm with a real estate attorney.
