Seller Property Questionnaire (SPQ)

               The Seller Property Questionnaire is a form to be completed by a Seller in an effort to give Buyer a more

               comprehensive understanding of the property to be acquired. The form does not replace the Real Estate
               Transfer Disclosure Statement but supplements it. This form is not mandated by statute or contract but
               may serve as a helpful tool in a transaction. The four pages of questions can often prompt Seller to

               remember something about the property that Seller otherwise would not have remembered or may not
               have considered important enough to disclose. The questions ask for Seller's actual knowledge not a

               warranty regarding the property's condition.

               Seller Vacant Land Questionnaire (VLQ)
               This form contains a list of questions asking about the Seller's knowledge of the property. Since sellers of

               vacant land are not required to complete a TDS, this form gives Sellers a place to make material
               disclosures.

               paint hazards on any housing constructed prior to 1978. From Seller to Buyer or from Owner or Landlord

               Buyer's Inspection Waiver (BIW)

               This form is used to document that a Buyer has been advised to obtain certain inspections but has
               declined to do so.

               Market Conditions Advisory (MCA)

               This form is used to document that a Broker discussed with a Buyer that market conditions fluctuate and
               as a result there is no guarantee that prices will continue to move in a particular direction. Form also

               advises about the risks of making non-contingent offers or removing contingencies.

               Megan's Law Data Base Disclosure (DBD)

               leases.
