I used to work in commercial real estate several years ago before I moved into the oil and gas career.  

A broker/agent with NO INTEGRITY will put their needs FIRST ahead of protecting a client and tell them anything to get that commission check and make a deal happen.That is NOT the way to run a long term business with credibility.How you make sure you are not liable it to DISCLOSE EVERYTHING you know and sell AS-IS.Fill out the sellers disclosure in full truthfully and honestly.AS-IS does not mean you are not disclosing known material facts as a seller.It simply means you are not going to fix them and it's up to the buyer to investigate further.By the way even if you do everything right and disclose the buyer can still sue you later.Buyers can sue for anything but it doesn't mean they will win but just sue you fishing for money once they realize they made a mistake.Usually the judge hearing the lawsuit will see that you fully disclosed and the buyer did not want to spend more money doing the proper inspections before closing.The judge will then dismiss the case usually because the buyer did not perform fully "their right to their own inquiry" before closing on the property.Where you get into trouble is the question you are asking now about I know something and fixed it but my agents says I don't have to disclose it.I can tell you that is absolutely wrong.Fixing a foundation crack and changing a rooms use known for water intrusion is an adverse material fact that you MUST disclose.Many sellers do not want to disclose items because they now it will reduce the sales price.The seller will pay for it now with a lower price or pay later with a settled lawsuit with claims much larger than the lower selling price.The seller usually buying a lemon house themselves try to pass problems off the unsuspecting or not knowing buyers.You as a seller just have to learn from this experience and make sure what you buy going forward is thoroughly inspected.No legal advice.

I learned the trick from a professional cleaner to use lemon oil on a cloth for soap scum on glass. 

The butcher block was sealed with butcher block oil and will need to be reapplied periodically be the new owner.  

Any car guys have any experience with Schaeffer motor oil? 

Remember, it isn't only the gurus who get a black eye for the actions of the slick snake-oil guys, it is also ALL real estate investors.I've had some people get angry at me because they believe that BiggerPockets is decidedly anti-guru . . . we're pro-investor.

So I am quite snake-oil saleman (or as my father would say "flim-flam artist") ADVERSE and wish I would have known about the real quality of this site back in January and I'm certain I would have closed a deal by now.

My market is very transient, with a lot of oil & gas and manufacturing industries that bring in workers for 2-4 year jobs, so many are not looking to purchase homes, but rather rent.
