10 - Disclosures, Disclosures, Disclosures
. . .
There
are too many disclosure forms and
reports to properly address in this
short paragraph. Just keep in mind
that Buyers in California are well
protected when is comes to any "hidden"
household problems. Between your physical
inspection(s) and the many disclosure
forms you receive on the property,
you pretty much know what you're purchasing!
There are various time periods in
which a buyer is to receive these
disclosures as indicated in the RPA.
The
most important disclosure to mention
at this time is the "TDS"
or Transfer Disclosure Statement.
This is a form prepared by the Seller,
Seller's agent and the Buyer's agent.
It basically discloses every material
fact known that may impact your decision
to buy the property. This form is
of particular importance as after
you receive it, you have three days
to cancel your RPA- if for no other
reason. If you have a good real estate
agent working for you, they will always
insist on getting this form at the
time of submitting your offer or shortly
after acceptance
