Providing a Seller Disclosure Property reduces post-closing disputes by documenting known conditions, supports informed purchase decisions, and limits seller liability when completed accurately. It also creates an auditable record for agents, lenders, and title companies during due diligence and closing.
Common users include listing agents, sellers, buyers' agents, and title companies involved in residential and commercial transactions.
Describe structural components, roofing, foundations, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems; note functionality, age, past failures, repairs, and remaining warranties, giving precise dates and contractor information when applicable.
Disclose presence or history of lead paint, asbestos, radon, mold, underground tanks, contaminated soil, or proximity to hazardous sites, and attach test reports or remediation certifications when available.
List current litigation, liens, easements, boundary disputes, or unpaid assessments; include case numbers, lien amounts, and counsel contact details to aid title clearance and buyer due diligence.
Identify renovations, additions, or systems installed, note permits and final inspections; unpermitted work must be disclosed along with any corrective plans, warranty terms, or outstanding violations.
State utility connections, septic or sewer status, well condition, average utility costs, and any known service interruptions or special assessments affecting utilities and known utility easements.
Provide seller signature block with printed name, signature, date (MM/DD/YYYY), and space for agent acknowledgment; include notary or witness lines where state law requires and electronic signature consent language if used.
Use secure eSignature platforms for accuracy, audit trails, and remote completion when allowed by law.
