Be careful when listing a house for sale

I am told that many municipalities check listings for statements such as _________ updated recently and than check if the house had proper permits for that update. If the permits don't exist, a violation is cited. Better not to brag about what may not be legal. Just a suggestion. By the way, we at Lieb at Law always recommend doing everything by proper permit.

To illustrate, we just spent 6 months navigating the Historic Society and Building Department just to get 2 new signs on our building. I just believe disclosure about liability for those who have not complied is necessary. Good luck.

Hope Now at Nassau Coliseum

April 28, 29 or 30 Wednesday - Friday 1:00pm - 7:30pm

HOPE NOW is an alliance between counselors, mortgage companies, investors, and other mortgage market participants. This alliance will maximize outreach efforts to homeowners in distress to help them stay in their homes and will create a unified, coordinated plan to reach and help as many homeowners as possible. The members of this alliance recognize that by working together, they will be more effective than by working independently.

Homeowners can get face to face help from servicers and counselors. These events are an opportunity to learn more about local housing task force efforts and state programs that offer assistance. These events can be sponsored by a local counseling agency or an alliance of concerned housing partners.
