Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

I am in the process of selling my home, which is located in a Flood Zone. I have lived in the house for 9 years. Under "normal" rain storms we do not get even one drop of water. However, in 2007 during a hurricane we had several FEET of water -- replaced the furnance, hot water heater, washer, dryer, and treated for mold. I did disclose on my Seller's Disclosure that we "flooded in 2007" and that the "home is located in an 'A' Flood Zone". My question is, how much more information am I obligated to give? Do I need to disclose how many feet of water or what the cost of repairs were?

Did you ask your attorney to answer these questions?

If you did, and you did not get a satisfactory answer, then FIRE THE ATTORNEY and hire a new one.

If you do not have an attorney, go get one.

I do this work; call if you would like me to assist you.
