First time buying FSBO. The owners inherited the house, and don't know anything about the house to disclose to us . Advice appreciated.

My wife and I are wanting to buy a house from a guy and his sister who's mother just passed away and they inherited the house. They want to sell it by owner so they can get the most money out of it. The issue is they don't know anything about the house as far as disclosures go, and claim they can't find any of the paper work from the previous sale to look for previous disclosures (This is kind of believable, she owned an antique shop and there's a lot of stuff in there). I don't get the sense they are trying to pull a fast one on us, but I also want to be thorough. We live in Kansas, and can't really find any information on this. Of course we'd hire an inspector, but on the off chance we get a bad inspector, or something is missed, we may be stuck with something potentially bad. Any advice on anything related to buying FSBO would be really appreciated.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
