California Real Estate Practice Exam

The seller of a one-family house is required to disclose to buyers?

1. the structural and mechanical condition of the property

2. the neighbors' names and occupations

3. their reason for moving

4. the property's decoration history

The correct answer is: the structural and mechanical condition of the property

The seller of a one-family house is required to disclose to buyers the structural and mechanical condition of the property. This information is important for buyers to know in order to make an informed decision about purchasing the property. Knowing the condition of the structure and mechanical systems can help buyers anticipate potential repairs or maintenance costs. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not pertain to the physical condition of the property and are not required for disclosure by the seller. Option B is also considered an invasion of privacy for the neighbors. Option C may be a personal reason and not relevant to the property. Option D is not necessary for the buyer's decision-making process and does not affect the value or condition of the property.
