I would ask your agent to request the covenants and HOA guidelines to understand exactly how this would affect the particular property you are considering.

if this is in an HOA it would be up to them to address this but if it is a town or city the ordinance would cover it. If you want to offer that may be a solution but this time of year the grass and weeds will keep coming back

yes if using AI it does need to be disclosed especially if it alters the reality of the property

It truly depends on the property. But if it is low and the list price is higher it does get questioned by the buyers

we have seen this happen. What I would recommend is to allow your agent to do facetime with you and then weed it down to the best and then come to tour to see them in person then select one. The inspection can be done by the inspector alone.

Have your agent place a note in the private remarks and on the showing instructions. But some people do put their pup in the garage and put a note on the door, if that is any better.

if asked yes you should answer honestly but currently not part of the disclosure statement

Hi Gill, we sell in this area. It depends on the market you hope to be an active listing in. If it is in the near future, it would be best to list the home at a price that is based on the true value of the home. We call this the sweet spot. Not too high and not too low. Now, if this were in an extreme seller's market, I still would not say to price "high", but if the market were inclining, then it could still get some level of interest
