Disclosure laws vary state to state and within state.
The " selling" ( buyer's agent) is not going to know because the seller is not their client.
The listing agent may or may not know, dependent upon disclosures by the seller.
Some sellers choose to have a pre listing home inspection performed and will use the inspection report as a marketing tool. Such information should not relieve the buyer of having their own inspection performed.
Sellers of non owner -occupied property, including but not limited to bank, estate and relocation company -owned property are generally relieved of the responsibility to disclose any information, in many locales.
