- Information regarding the urgency of a seller’s need to sell.
- If the real estate broker has any interest in, or any relationship to, the property sale or the seller.
- The length of time a property has been on the market and any known information relating to offers and counteroffers made on it.
- Information relating to the value of a property.
- Any information that could affect a prospective buyer’s ability to purchase the property at the lowest price at the buyer’s most favorable terms.
This duty obligates a real estate broker who is representing a SELLER to reveal the following:
