[WSBARP] Real estate inspection question and Redfin sale

[Kary Krismer]

The PR is exempt from providing a Form 17, but they are not exempt from 
providing information on material defects that they know of.

And not really part of your question, but perhaps implied, if the seller 
learns of a defect from a buyer inspection they do not need to amend 
their Form 17 for that transaction, but if that sale falls through they 
would have to disclose/fix or take other action for any material 
conditions they learn of as a result of the inspection process.

No real differences dealing with Redfin over other firms.
