Agency
What is a 'seller's disclosure obligation' when listing through a Hawaii agent?
AA. Sellers have no disclosure obligation; agents handle all disclosures
BB. Sellers must complete the Hawaii seller disclosure form honestly, disclosing known material defects, and agents must ensure disclosures are provided to buyers✓ Correct
CC. Sellers only need to disclose defects they have personally repaired
DD. Disclosure is optional for sellers who are selling 'as-is'
Explanation
In Hawaii, sellers have an independent duty to disclose known material defects and complete the Seller Disclosure Statement honestly. The agent assists by informing the seller of disclosure requirements but cannot make disclosures on the seller's behalf from their personal knowledge. 'As-is' sales do not eliminate disclosure obligations—sellers must still disclose what they know.
