OREF 020 – Seller’s Property Disclosure Statement

When it comes to selling a home, transparency is more than just good practice; it is a requirement. That is where the Seller’s Property Disclosure Statement comes in. Oregon requires most sellers to complete this form, giving buyers a clear picture of the home’s condition, from squeaky faucets to roof repairs. Think of it as spilling the property tea, the must-share details that keep everyone informed and confident.

For agents, helping sellers understand this form is essential. A complete and accurate disclosure builds trust, smooths out the transaction, and helps prevent post-closing surprises or legal disputes. Clear disclosure means fewer headaches, happier clients, and stronger deals.
