AGREEMENTS and DISCLOSURES
When listing your home there are several documents and disclosures that will be completed and signed before you hit the market. Some of these documents are between us (client and REALTOR®), others are disclosures regarding the condition of your home that you will share with potential buyers and their agents. You will be asked to review, complete and sign the following documents:
• Exclusive Right-to-Sell Listing Contract • Definitions of Working Relationships
• Seller’s Property Disclosure
• Square Footage Disclosure
• Source of Water Addendum
DUE DILIGENCE Documents
• Closing Instructions
• Lead-Based Paint Disclosure (Homes Built Before 1978) • Wire Fraud Disclosure
• Seller Advisory
• Affiliated Businesses Disclosure
In addition to the disclosures, buyers may request further information about the property as a part of their due diligence. We find it helpful for sellers to gather as much information about their home up front so that when a buyer is ready, we can easily share information. The following list is an example of items that may be requested by buyers, lenders or the title company:
o Manuals and warranties (for included appliances, HVAC, roof, windows, etc.)
o Receipts for work performed on the home
o Floor plans, appraisals and surveys
o Previous inspection reports, soils reports, radon test results, engineer’s reports, etc.
o List of utility providers (gas & electric, water, solar, etc.) and information on average monthly bills o Information on insurance claims
