What is the Nevada seller disclosure form?
The Nevada seller disclosure form, or Seller’s Real Property Disclosure Form, is a document developed by the Nevada Association of Realtors. It’s designed to help you disclose any known issues or facts about your home that could impact its value or a buyer’s decision to purchase the property.
Nevada law requires sellers to disclose all material facts — in other words, anything that could impact the buyer’s use or enjoyment of the property. The Seller’s Real Property Disclosure Form acts as a guide to help you do this thoroughly. It covers everything from structural issues and past repairs to neighborhood conditions and HOA rules.
