Florida Seller Disclosures Explained | What Realtors Must Know

What does a Florida seller actually have to disclose, and does an As Is contract change that responsibility? In this Purchase Ready Lab training, Florida Realtors learn how seller disclosures work and what listing agents should understand before representing a seller. One of the biggest misconceptions covered in this session is that selling a property As Is does not automatically remove the seller's responsibility to disclose known hidden material defects. The training also explains why the commonly used seller disclosure form and the legal duty to disclose are not exactly the same thing. In this Florida Realtor training, you will learn: • The difference between the seller disclosure form and the duty to disclose • What Johnson v. Davis means for Florida residential transactions • What qualifies as a known hidden or latent material defect • Why an As Is contract does not mean the seller can hide property defects • When a Realtor may also have a duty to disclose an issue • Why the seller should complete their own disclosure form • Why the duty to disclose can continue even after closing • Florida flood disclosure requirements discussed in the training • Lead based paint disclosure for qualifying properties • HOA and condo disclosure requirements • How late or incorrect HOA and condo disclosures can affect a transaction • Property tax, radon, and other disclosures found in the Florida purchase contract • What sellers generally do not have to disclose • How Realtors can create a repeatable disclosure checklist for every listing The training emphasizes that Realtors should not wait until a property is already under contract to begin gathering disclosure documents. Having the applicable forms ready, documenting delivery, and making them part of the listing process can help prevent important disclosure requirements from being missed. The session also discusses why HOA and condo disclosures deserve special attention. Incorrect information or late delivery can create opportunities for a buyer to cancel under the circumstances discussed in the training. Whether you are preparing for your first Florida listing or have represented sellers for years, this session provides a practical framework for approaching seller disclosures more confidently.
