    What you have to disclose will be determined by your state laws.

    What you have to watch out for is your E&O insurance might not cover the transaction.

    Of course you can buy or sell your own home as an agent. Some investors get their license simply to buy and sell their own homes and save on the commissions.

    In fact, my first deal was buying my own home.

    You must disclose that you are the seller and the listing agent, and all other disclosures pertaining to the home that any normal seller would have to disclose.
