Did you know that we as Realtors are not under any obligation to disclose that a death has occured in a home. If you do not wish to own a home that has been STIGMATISED by way of a death due to suicide/murder or an unusual circumstance, you must let your agent know this. It is then their obligation to protect you by asking the correct questions of the selling agent.
A couple of things to notice if in fact this is of concern to you. When you see that a home is being sold as an Estate Sale, always enquire as to the cause of 'Estate'. Verify as to wether probate has already happened i.e. transfer of title to the new owners as per the last will.
Should you have any further questions about this topic, or totally disagree with what I have written, do not hesitate to give me a call or e-mail.
