Required Disclosures (3)
1.) Brokerage Services Information: State law requires real estate brokers to provide a pamphlet explaining the different relationships agents can have with buyers and sellers (RCW 18.86.120). This pamphlet is not necessary for sales with no broker involved.
2.) Lead-Based Paint Disclosure: Federal law dictates that sellers of properties constructed before 1978 must disclose any known lead-based paint hazards (42 U.S. Code § 4852d). Buyers must also receive a federally approved safety pamphlet and a ten-day period to conduct a risk assessment for lead exposure.
3.) Seller Property Disclosure Statement: Sellers must complete this questionnaire detailing their actual knowledge of the property’s condition, including structural elements, water systems, and title issues (RCW 64.06.020). Buyers retain the right to review these disclosures and may rescind the purchase agreement within three days of receipt if the conditions are unsatisfactory
