Harrison Beacher real estate agent and managing partner at Coalition Properties Group in Washington, D.C.
States such as Georgia do not require real estate agents or sellers to disclose upfront if the home was the site of a death.
Nearly three-quarters, 72%, of potential homebuyers said they would buy a "haunted" house for a lower price, according to a new report by Real Estate Witch, a data site owned by Clever Real Estate.
In some states, real estate agents need to provide truthful information upon a buyer's request, or at the very least, point you toward the right direction to find out.
Besides the real estate agent, neighbors can give you first-hand experience of the area, as well as information about the previous homeowners.
