Will everyone know my situation?

A home sale itself becomes public record once it closes, since deeds and sale prices are recorded through the county Clerk of Superior Court and are searchable by anyone. The reason behind a sale, whether financial hardship, divorce, or relocation, is not part of that public record and does not have to be disclosed to buyers, neighbors, or anyone else unless it affects a required property disclosure. Agents are also bound by confidentiality about what a client shares with them. Joel Boss keeps the reason for a sale private unless you choose to share it.
