Neighbor fence on my line and I want to sell?

i'm getting ready to sell my house but my neighbor put up a fence last year that's like 1-2 feet onto my property. he's a mean guy and i don't want to talk to him. do i have to fix this before i sell my house or can the new buyer deal with it?

Hi Dave It is always best to be honest and disclose any items that could affect your home sale to protect yourself in the future.

Keep it simple: neighbor’s fence appears about 1–2 ft over the line. If you have a survey, include it. Showing it’s a small area makes it less of a concern. You can sell as-is, just expect questions or negotiation.
