In this Dealmakers episode, Shane Hall breaks down Maryland’s disclosure laws — clearly, simply, and with the humor and clarity real estate pros (and clients) actually need.

Shane explains the two paths every seller chooses: disclosure or disclaimer. Even “as-is” sellers must reveal latent defects — hidden issues that threaten health or safety.

He covers the rules that matter most:

• What sellers must provide before a contract is binding

• How buyers get a 5-day unconditional rescission window

• What qualifies (and doesn’t qualify) as a latent defect

• Whether you must disclose death, crime, or a haunting

• What questions agents must answer honestlyriverside-shane-hall-raw-synced…

And yes — the big one:
In Maryland, you don’t have to disclose murder, suicide, accidental death, natural death, felonies, or paranormal reputation. But if you’re asked directly, you cannot lie.

Shane also breaks down the critical county and federal overlays:

• Montgomery County radon rule

• Well and septic testing requirements

• EPA Superfund proximity disclosures

• Lead paint requirements

• Condo and HOA rescission windows

Plus quick hitters like:

• What actually counts as a “haunted house” issue

• How failing to deliver condo docs can kill a deal

• How wholesalers now must disclose their involvement

• Why every buyer MUST track dates

In under 15 minutes, Shane provides a full, practical roadmap for sellers, buyers, and agents operating in Maryland’s residential market.

The floor is open — with the rules that keep your deal alive.
