Issue

Ever since the Florida Supreme Court ruled in Johnson v Davis in 1986, home sellers have a duty to disclose to the buyer all known latent defects in the home, even in As-Is sales. So, what happens if a buyer believes the seller has failed in its duty to disclose? The buyer may bring a claim against the Seller and the legal proceedings will begin, which will be both expensive and inconvenient.

What is a seller to do?

1
Be sure to disclose, in writing, every known issue in the home.
2
Purchase Mann's Legal expense policy at closing to protect yourself from the expense and hassle of a post closing lawsuit.

MANNS is the only insurance company in Florida protecting home sellers after the sale.
