- The Forms -
The key thing to remember in real estate is that all contracts must be in writing to be legally
enforceable. As a result, every year new and updated forms, contracts and disclosures are
mandated by the various federal, state, and local agencies that have some input on the real
estate transaction. These forms and requirements vary by state, local requirements, and local
custom. The following forms are the primary forms required by the state. Other disclosures are
required, but these will provide you with a good overview of the key documents in the transaction.
The links take you directly to the state sites.
In Pennsylvania:
Pennsylvania Consumer Notice:
Business Relationship Between Broker and Buyer:
Agreement of Sale - Residential:
Seller's Property Disclosure Statement:
Buyer's Financial Information:
Deposit Money Notice:
This is clearly not an all-inclusive list and there are many additional forms that can be used for any
given situation. In addition, most real estate firms have their own forms and disclosures that are
required based on their business relationships and local area requirements.
