Do you have a C.L.U.E.?

Do you have a C.L.U.E?  What's it worth to you?
By +Sarah Marrinan

In addition to a home inspection and the seller's disclosure paperwork, there is yet another way to find out about potential damage history on a home, a CLUE report.

A C.L.U.E.® Home Seller's Disclosure Report is an independent source of information about insurance losses at your home address within the past five years. If your home has not experienced a loss within the past 5 years, the report can provide comfort to a potential buyer. When there are no losses are associated with a property the report would state that no losses were found for the address shown.

For Home Sellers:
More homebuyers are requiring home sellers to provide a C.L.U.E.® Home Seller's Disclosure Report as a contingency to a purchase offer. By ordering the C.L.U.E.® Home Seller's Disclosure Report at the time of listing, the smart seller and his/her agent are ready for the first potential buyer to walk in the door. At the same time, a potential buyer will achieve a greater comfort level when making an offer on a property for which the loss history is known.  FOLLOW THIS LINK TO ORDER:  http://personalreports.lexisnexis.com/.
