Michael Ackerman, a Seattle real estate agent, talks about the lead based paint addendum that is required to be filled out by a seller when selling a home built prior to 1978. This is a very important disclosure for the buyer to receive so the buyer can decide whether to test the home for lead based paint before they purchase it.
