Death in house

[Fernando]

So

Sorry to hear about your friends death. Based on the great Fernando's posts lately I believe his wife will be driving him to inspections in the very near future.

I know she won't. I asked her to take my continuing education and she said no. Ugh.
I don't need it. I know what I'm doing.

If you are doing a sale, and there is a definite stigma due to a murder, etc in the home, it would be discussed in the contract analysis. Same thing if a refi with same thing. However, if you do not find a stigma exists (normal death, etc), no need to mention it. Stigma is the key.

Normal death can mean different things to different people.
I believe previous owner passed away in my house. Don't know where but I believe it's in my master bedroom.
On a hot day, I get this eerie feeling someone died in my bedroom.

Here in California if it's a purchase appraisal, the realtor has an obligation to report a death in the house within the last 3 years. You basically mention in your report that there's been a known passing in the subject property as indicated in the MLS.

If this is for a refi, and the widow or widower mentions that their spouse has just passed away, you say you're very sorry for their loss and appraise the property. No need to mention it in the report.

Appraising a stigmatized property where there's been a murder and or suicide or paranormal activity is a whole different ball of wax.

.... or a paranormal murder-suicide...

That's what your wife said . . . LOL

It's probably just a sign that it's time to wash the sheets.

If you die in the house, yo have no obligation to report it.
