GENERAL BROKERAGE

A. A “For Sale By Owner” transaction may require the needs of a professional brokerage company to assist the property owner, whether at time of offering by submission of the property information to the multiple listing service, at time of receipt of an offer to purchase the property, or thereafter as necessary to assist the seller through the real estate transaction until conclusion at time of the real estate closing. Traditionally, these services, considered full brokerage services, are at a cost of approximately six percent (6%) of the property sales price.

B. The New Trend Realty Services® ends upon the receipt by the property owner of an acceptable offer to purchase the property or an offer warranting counter-offer. At this stage of the transaction, which we call Step Two, you may determine to engage additional services from an attorney, title company or obtain your own independent real estate brokerage company to assist throughout the remaining portion of the real estate sales transaction at a negotiated fee for those agreed services. If the accepted offer does not go to settlement, New Trend Realty will at your request reactivate your listing at no charge.

C. The New Trend Realty Services® are limited in extent and duration and you are advised to consider engagement of other professional assistance at time of receipt of an acceptable offer to purchase your property or an offer you desire to counter-offer. Your commitment to New Trend Realty Services® does not obligate you to continue your brokerage assistance through New Trend Realty, or any other real estate brokerage company or attorney and allows you to be truly independent in your efforts to sell your property as a “For Sale By Owner” property. New Trend Realty allows the opportunity for you to make a choice for real estate brokerage services at a cost less than traditionally incurred by a property owner in the sale of their home.

D. Due to possible changes in real estate brokerage law or policies of multiple listing services, the New Trend Realty Services® are subject to change as necessary for compliance appropriate to the limited brokerage services offered. Any change unacceptable to you as a client of New Trend Realty will give you cause to terminate your New Trend Brokerage Service Agreement and entitlement to receive a refund of fees paid and not yet earned by New Trend Realty.

REVEAL DEFECTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

A. Seller (including Sellers exempt from the Real Estate Seller's Disclosure Act) shall disclose all known material defects and/or environmental hazards on the Seller’s Disclosure Statement. A material defect is a problem or condition that:

(1) is a possible danger to those living on the Property, or

(2) has a significant adverse effect on the value of the Property.

B. If Seller fails to tell of known material defects and/or environmental hazards,

(1) Seller will not hold Broker or Licensee responsible in any way;

(2) Seller will protect Broker and Licensee from any claims, lawsuits, and actions that result;

(3) Seller will pay all of Broker's and Licensee's costs that result. This includes attorneys' fees and court-ordered payments or settlements (money Broker or Licensee pays to end a lawsuit or claim).

C. Seller will advise Brokers and Buyers of any concerns with the property, including past, current, and known future changes that may affect the value of the property. All such concerns shall be in writing and set forth in the Seller's Disclosure Statement.

Pennsylvania state law mandates that a completed Seller Disclosure be given to and signed by buyer(s) prior to their signing an Agreement of Sale on your property. Please print Seller Disclosure, complete and give to prospective buyers or their agents. Obtain a signed and dated acknowledgement of receipt. If conditions change following completion of the Sellers Disclosure Statement, you need to revise your disclosure, deliver to the Buyer, and once again obtain a signed acknowledgement of receipt. The New Trend Realty Services® includes our assistance with completion of your Seller’s Disclosure Statement.
