Maryland requires sellers to complete a Residential Property Condition Disclosure and Disclaimer Statement. Sellers can choose to either disclose known defects or provide a disclaimer stating the property is sold "as-is." The disclosure form covers structural components, mechanical systems, environmental hazards, water and sewer systems, and other material facts. Maryland also requires lead paint disclosure for homes built before 1978, and sellers must disclose any known presence of lead paint, mold, or other hazardous substances. Additionally, Maryland law requires disclosure of proximity to agricultural operations and any known flooding issues. Working with HomeRise's flat fee MLS listing service doesn't change your disclosure obligations — we provide guidance to ensure you meet all Maryland requirements.
