Seller’s Disclosure Notice
The Seller’s Disclosure Notice is a widely used Texas real estate disclosure form that helps sellers document the known condition of a residential property. In many Texas transactions, this disclosure is required and must be provided to the buyer within specific timelines. It covers key areas such as the condition of major systems, previous repairs, environmental issues, structural concerns, and other facts that could affect the property’s value or the buyer’s decision.

What the disclosure helps accomplish
This notice is designed to promote transparency and reduce surprises after contract execution. By disclosing known issues upfront, sellers can help buyers make informed decisions and protect themselves from future disputes related to property condition. For agents, the disclosure is also a useful tool for guiding conversations early and identifying potential red flags that may require inspections, negotiation, or repairs.
To review state guidance and confirm related requirements, consult the official Texas Real Estate Commission resources for disclosures and forms.
Practical tips for agents and clients
Encourage sellers to complete the disclosure carefully and honestly, using clear answers and adding explanations when needed. Remind clients that leaving items blank can create confusion and increase the likelihood of buyer objections later. Buyers should review the disclosure early, compare it to inspection results, and ask questions before the option period ends. Keeping the disclosure accurate and complete supports smoother negotiations and a stronger path to closing.
