What does each signature mean?
NPMA says the seller's signature shows that the property history has been disclosed. The buyer's signature shows the buyer received the report. NPMA also says the report is required for HUD and VA deals and is typically used for conventional ones. State-mandated forms take precedence where they apply.
What should agents do?
Get the full report to the buyer early.
Ask sellers for any past termite treatment records.
Ask the lender and title company which form your deal needs.
Keep a signed copy in the file.
What if papers show up after the report?
