What must an agent include if required to complete a seller's disclosure form?

The requirement to include a hold harmless clause in a seller's disclosure form stems from the need to protect the agent and their brokerage from potential legal liabilities that may arise from the information disclosed or omitted by the seller. This clause serves as a legal safeguard, ensuring that the agent is not held responsible for misstatements or omissions in the seller’s disclosures that could lead to disputes or claims by the buyer after the sale is finalized.

On the other hand, a confidentiality agreement, financial disclosure, and buyer representation agreement do not specifically pertain to the seller's disclosure form. A confidentiality agreement typically relates to private or sensitive information and is not a standard component of seller disclosures. Financial disclosures relate to the seller's financial situation rather than the condition of the property or any issues that may affect its value. Lastly, a buyer representation agreement is relevant to the relationship between the agent and the buyer and is not a requirement for the seller's disclosure form, which focuses strictly on the seller's obligations to disclose property-related information.
