Our Risk Management forum created Sample Disclosure forms that address many of the obstacles agents face in a real estate transaction. These forms are not designed to be used in lieu of your state required forms, but may drastically reduce the likeliness of you getting sued. These letters were drafted to help you disclose. We recommend you copy and paste these onto your company letterhead.
If you are a CRES Member, log into the section below to access the Policy Members Only section and visit the Sample Disclosure Forms page.
Disclosure Letters found in our Members section include:
New Short Sale Advisory Short Sale claims are on the rise! Use this form in addition to your state's Short Sale Addendum when involved with Buyers in a Short Sale Transaction.
Disclosure Confirming Source of Information Regarding Property Use this form to protect yourself by confirming the source of the information regarding the property to ensure no false expectations. After all, why should you be blamed for someone else's statement?
Advisory for Buyers of Bank-Owned (REO) Residential Properties Protect yourself by identifying the basic risks a Buyer of a foreclosed property faces, including the fact that Seller/Banks frequently refuse to provide many, if not all, disclosures regarding the property despite your best efforts.
Business Brokerage Transactions Certain disclosures in these transactions are critical in staying out of costly, time consuming claims.
Release of Claims and/or Disputes Resolving a condition between a Buyer and Seller for money to prevent a lawsuit? Use our new release form.
Short Sale Disclosure-Lender Non-Agency Agreement While not an epidemic, these transactions are on the rise and can be very dangerous. Review the information and use our Disclosure forms in these transactions to help reduce your risk.
