You can easily get screwed over. I bought a house, the seller claimed the roof was only 2 years old. Got hail damage 2 years after buying. Thankfully a family member was a roofer and looked at it and said this is at minimum a 15 year old roof. So I went back to my realtor and said they lied about the roof. So the realtor went to bat for me and forced seller to replace the roof or report them lying on the documents.

This has nothing to do with a realtor, a person buying a home should do their due diligence. Same as if you were buying a used car. Get a third party inspection instead.
an inspector only tells you what needs to be replaced or repaired. they aren't looking at the seller disclosure and making sure its truthful.
A home inspector inspects a home. If the seller told you the roof is 2 years old, a home inspector can tell you whether or not that seems to be true. You might have to connect the dots yourself, but the info is there
The inspector doesn’t receive the seller disclosure. The seller says it’s 2 years old. The inspector finds no damage. Then that’s that.
