Understanding Seller Disclosures: What Your Broker Handles

Important: Seller disclosure requirements vary significantly by state, county, and municipality. OnMLS does not provide legal or real estate advice and does not determine what disclosures are required for your property. Your assigned licensed broker will guide you through all required disclosures as part of the listing agreement process. Always consult your assigned broker and, where applicable, a licensed real estate attorney before completing any disclosure documents.

Real estate disclosures are a legally required part of the home-selling process. Your licensed broker oversees the disclosure process as part of MLS listing submission — this is a broker function, not a platform function.

Common categories of disclosures that your broker will help you navigate include: property condition, known material defects, HOA details, lead paint (for homes built before 1978), and other facts that may affect value or desirability. Requirements vary significantly by state and municipality.

Disclosure documents are stored in your OnMLS dashboard. Your licensed broker coordinates delivery of completed disclosures to interested buyers and buyers' agents as part of the transaction process.
