This section shall apply to sales and purchases involving single-family
residential real estate dwellings if any person licensed under this chapter
receives compensation.
The commission shall promulgate an administrative regulation authorizing a
"seller's disclosure of conditions form."
The form shall provide for disclosure by the seller of the following:
(a) Basement condition and whether it leaks;
(b) Roof condition and whether it leaks;
(c) Source and condition of water supply;
(d) Source and condition of sewage service;
(e) Working condition of component systems; and
(f) Other matters the commission deems appropriate.
The seller of the property shall complete and sign the form at the time he or
she executes any listing agreement or similar agreement by which a licensee
intends to market the property. A copy of the form shall be provided by the
listing agent to any prospective buyer or a buyer's authorized representative
upon request. A copy of the form shall be delivered by the listing agent to any
prospective purchaser or his representative within seventy-two (72) hours of
the listing agent's receipt of a written and signed offer to purchase. The listing
agent shall solicit the signature of the buyer on a copy of the form which the
listing agent shall retain in the principal broker's records. The signature shall
evidence the listing agent's compliance with the provisions of this section.
Should the buyer refuse to sign the form, the licensee shall record the buyer's
refusal to sign on the form and retain a copy in his principal broker's records.
If the subject property is offered for sale by the property's owner without a
listing agreement, any licensee involved in the transaction shall provide a blank
form to the property's owner and shall request that the property's owner
complete and sign the form. If the property's owner completes and signs the
form, the licensee shall deliver the form to the buyer or potential buyer not later
than one hundred twenty (120) hours after the creation of any executory
contract for sale of the property. The licensee shall solicit the signature of the
buyer on a copy of the form as delivered to the buyer or prospective buyer and
shall retain the copy in his or her principal broker's records. The signature of
the buyer or prospective buyer shall evidence the listing agent's compliance
with the provisions of this section. Should the buyer refuse to sign the form, the
licensee shall record the buyer's refusal to sign on the form and retain a copy in
his or her principal broker's records.
The original of the form shall be retained by the listing broker or by the broker
of any licensee who presents an offer on a property not subject to a listing
agreement.
The form shall not be required for residential purchases of new homes if a
warranty is offered, for a sale of real estate at an auction, or for a court
supervised foreclosure.
If the seller refuses to complete and sign the form, his refusal shall be
(9)
communicated in writing by the broker or sales associate who is involved in the
transaction to the purchaser or prospective purchaser, without unreasonable
delay.
It shall be a violation of this chapter for a licensee to complete any portion of
the form unless the licensee is the owner of the property or has been
requested by the owner to complete the form. The request shall be
acknowledged in writing on the form and the licensee shall be held harmless
for any representation that appears on the form.
