The Florida Legislature just overturned the windstorm disclosure law. This disclosure would have required sellers to have their homes - located in wind-borne areas of the state - primarily coastal areas, to have their properties inspected and rated for windstorm resistance and disclose the findings to the buyers.
The reason for this overturn is because there are no Florida statutes that require a home to be inspected for any reason and instead of having the State protect the buyer they decided to leave it up the person valuing the information.
So remember, when you're buying a property in Florida it is wise to seek an Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) to make sure you have someone looking out for your best interest.
I hold the ABR designation from the National Association of Realtors, plus the AHWD, e Pro and GRI designations. I also hold the Sanibel & Captiva Specialist designation from the Sanibel & Captiva Board of Realtors, plus I am a 1031 Tax Exchange Specialist.
