The FAOR Purchase Agreement and Exclusive Listing Agreement are updated on the FAOR website.
The new changes to the Purchase Agreement include the new wording for Ohio Licensed Home Inspectors in Section 12, wording in Section 12 (C), and added Brokerage Information in the Agency Contact Information. The new changes to the Exclusive Listing Agreement include seller initials and address to the bottom of the pages, wording for the videography and surveillance systems in the “Showing Instructions”, and wording in the “Consent for Unsupervised Access” clause. The forms are now on the FORMS section and dotLoop has been provided the forms for upload as well.
