What does DLO mean in REAL ESTATE

Seller Disclosure is a legal document that outlines all known information about a property being sold. It includes details such as any past or present material defects, building code violations, remodeling and repairs, lead paint, pest infestations and more.

Many states and local governments require sellers to provide full disclosure of the condition of their property to potential buyers. Check with your local real estate laws for exact requirements in your area.

Most states require that Sellers provide a Seller's Disclosure at the beginning of the process when an offer is made by a potential buyer. This document needs to be updated throughout the transaction if there has been any changes to the property since the initial sale agreement.

A Seller Disclosure should list any known facts about the property such as building code violations, material defects, pest infestations, remodeling and repairs and whether or not lead paint was used during construction. It should also include information about recent repairs, improvements or modifications made after closing on the sale.

Before you make disclosure it is wise to research what kind of repair work could affect or increase the value of your home so that you can maximize profits from your sale. It may also be beneficial to disclose any past issues that have been repaired so that potential buyers can rest assured they are purchasing a safe and sound home.

While verbal agreements may act as supplemental evidence beyond written documents, it is important that all agreements are in writing for legal purposes – regardless of whether or not they are verbalized first. Written documentation will ensure both parties remain compliant with all applicable laws regarding seller disclosures.

If there have been any significant changes made on the property after initial papers have been signed then sellers must update their disclosures accordingly and provide accurate information at all times during the transaction process in order for everything to remain legally binding between buyer and seller.

You must disclose all known material defects within 7 years prior from renting out or selling your home per Florida’s deceptive practices statue; however if you are selling an older home (over 25 years) then some states may require disclosing up 30 years worth of material defect history.
