Do seller’s agents have to be truthful in a home’s listing description?

Quick backstory: I put an offer on an house, lost out to another buyer, that buyer then did an inspection and then backed out during option. The home went back on market, and I put another offer in and moved forward with the home.

It sounded like the story was the original buyers decided they wanted to be more central. The listing when it went back on market stated the previous buyer “got cold feet” and the inspection came back “flawless.”

I just finished my own inspection and it’s nothing close to flawless. There is roofing damage, grading issues, caulking and sealing problems, and other cosmetic issues. Nothing that’s going to make the house fall down and it’s a recently built home, but things that I feel should’ve been disclosed.

My question: are sellers agents required to be truthful in real estate listings? Honestly it makes this whole thing smell worse that they used the word “flawless” after getting an inspection report where there’s no way these things weren’t called out by another inspector. Should I be digging further or am I just overreacting?

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...
