So you've finally made the hard decision that its time to sell your house. But you've got a small problem. There's a leak in the roof and you can't decide whether you should spend the money to repair the roof or make an allowance for the buyer to repair it.

This decision is really a "no brainer". If you elect not to repair the leak then you must disclose the leak in the disclosure statement. Just about any buyer will then counter offer that the roof be replaced entirely. This will be extremely costly.

The solution to the problem is to repair the leak. Then you don't have to disclose that there is a leak. So there will be no demand to replace the roof.

If you need someone to do a minor roof repair ash your real estate agent for a recommendation. They enounter the need to make such repairs all the time.
