Purchase Agreement
A Real Estate Purchase Agreement is a legally binding contract between a buyer and a seller outlining the terms of the home sale. It includes key details such as the purchase price, financing terms, contingencies (like inspections or appraisals), closing date, and any included or excluded items. Both parties must agree to and sign the contract before moving forward with the sale.
Seller's Disclosure
A Real Estate Seller's Disclosure is a legal document that provides buyers with important information about the property's condition. As a seller, you're required to disclose known issues, such as structural defects, roof leaks, plumbing or electrical problems, and any past repairs. This transparency helps protect both you and the buyer while ensuring a smoother transaction.
Lead-Based Paint Disclosure
A Lead-Based Paint Disclosure is required for homes built before 1978. As a seller, you must inform buyers about any known presence of lead-based paint and provide them with the EPA’s lead hazard pamphlet. Buyers also have the right to conduct a lead inspection if they choose. This disclosure is legally required to ensure safety and transparency in the transaction.

Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home Pamphlet
The "Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home" pamphlet is an EPA-required informational guide that educates buyers about the dangers of lead-based paint in homes built before 1978. As a For Sale By Owner (FSBO) seller, you must provide this pamphlet to potential buyers along with the Lead-Based Paint Disclosure. It explains health risks, safe practices, and ways to reduce lead exposure.
