You can't dissuade anyone from what they have their hearts set on but you should share your concerns and talk about potential resale issues

Good morning Hella. I am intrigued by the way you asked the question "checkered past"? If all was disclosed to the prospective buyer, they have to make the decision that is best for them.

Disclose in writing and encourage professionl inspections and opinions. Not sure nature of problems you are concerned about, but advise them to get qualified feedback to verify matters and better understanding of full issues and estimates to fix ...or if all feedback points them in another direction.

What's unacceptable to you may be perfectly acceptable to someone else.
Disclose everything you know and encourage the buyers to do their due diligence. As long as they know what they're signing up for and are good with it, it's all good.

Since we are paid for our knowledge I would definitely give them my advise and opinion; however the ultimate decision is theirs.

I know what a 'checkered past' for a person means, but have no clue what a checkered past suggests for a house. After all, the house makes no decisions.
'See a lot of problems' that were identified in the inspection report along with what the remedy looks like. The buyer paid for that report. If they 'love the house' I will not interfere in the love affair.
You never know what house the buyer will fall in love with. They may have seen apple pie in the kitchen that exists only in their most cherished memories. If you make the decision to invalidate the values another holds dear, you do so in great peril.
However, my objective observations are always available.

I lay out the facts and go through the pros and cons with them (verbally and in writing) and then let them make their own decision.Then if they insist on buying, I document the conversation so it doesn't bite me in the you know what one day.

Absolutely we disclose and ask them to step away emotionally from the property and think 1-5 years down the road when the home will need this and that for repairs, etc.

Good morning Hella,
Just yesterday my buyer checked a house that was price below $30,000. It was disclosed that it needed lots of work and possibly not permitted. After viewing, they made a decision no to place an offer. It was their decision and I would not dissuade anyone.

I've talked many buyers out of buying homes that I knew weren't right for them. The cool thing is that they have always bought with me, and always thanked me for it later.

Hella M. Rothwell, Broker/Realtor® - the buyers take final decision - however, disclosing the facts is my job. (And I'd also say, if I have to sell this home, I'll have lots of problems in selling....lol)

Hella,
Of course I would. If they really wanted it, I would insist on a home warranty from the sellers.

Legally, you are required to disclose disclose disclose. You worked hard for your license and I am sure that you would like to keep it and not be disciplined if the deal goes south. Never put yourself into a position where the words " well my agent didnt tell us that..." are uttered especially if it is something you were required to...

I am not a transaction agent. Good transactions ideally are still good for the family or business several years down the road. No one has a crystal ball to know the future, but we can hedge. The impact of sellers disclosures, no matter how complete, do not always register with the buyer. Naturally decisions are always made by the client. However, it is desirable if those decisions are made with their eyes wide open. Even I rely on those that tell me what I need to know as opposed to what I am saying.

Absolutely...however, it is limited to input and feedback and not telling someone what to do. I document it verbally. A word to the wise is still sufficient!

Hella M. Rothwell, Broker/Realtor® Steering is illegal so I would say no.
