Comment of the Day

"I'm positive you've been told by your agent to get a home inspection and if you haven't, I suggest you run away NOW and grab another agent. A home inspection trumps most, if not everything the Sellers Disclosure "discloses". Take that with a grain of salt and you better be there when the inspection is done and leave your agent out of it. They can go over the report with you after it's been delivered and it gives you some intimacy with your potentially new, yer olde house purchase.
