One demand letter, sent almost a year after closing — here's how one seller was protected.
A home sale had already closed. The seller had moved on. Then, nearly a year later, a demand letter showed up — alleging foundation and structural issues, and seeking over $1,000,000 in damages. It escalated to a lawsuit.
Thankfully, the seller had Home Sale Legal Protection™ in place. Here's what happened next — and why every seller should consider Home Sale Legal Protection™ to give themselves peace of mind post sale.
Product Updates
We've rolled out a handful of updates this month to make disclosures faster and more flexible — plus a few workflow improvements agents have been asking for.
Why Fall Is When Disclosure Protection Matters Most
As the market shifts from summer into fall, buyers get pickier. Homes sit longer, inspections get more scrutiny, and negotiations get tighter — which means sellers face more pressure to disclose everything perfectly, and more risk if something gets missed. If you've got sellers closing this fall, now's the time to make sure they're protected after the sale closes, not just during it.
We analyzed 200 real disclosure claims across 16 property categories to see exactly where sellers get caught off guard — check out The Claims Sellers Don't See Coming for the full breakdown.
