LEGAL: Sharing home inspection reports
|
|
| |
By Christal Park Keegan, NVR Legal Information Line Attorney
 Are listing agents allowed to share home inspection reports in future transactions?
While Nevada law does not explicitly require the actual home inspection reports to be shared in future deals like our neighbors in California do, our statutes certainly require the seller, who now has the knowledge gained from those reports, to disclose the known material defects to new buyers (Seller's Real Property Disclosure, NRS 113.130 and 113.140).
Because home inspection reports are typically lengthy and detailed, a best practice would be to provide the report in its entirety to future buyers so the seller does not miss anything that could come back to haunt them. But, before doing so, there are best practices to ensure the report is not improperly shared. Read all about those and more by clicking here. |

NAR's Board of Directors Friday strengthened REALTORS®' commitment to upholding fair housing ideals, approving a series of recommendations from NAR's Professional Standards Committee that extend the application of Article 10 of the Code of Ethics to discriminatory speech and conduct outside of members' real estate practices.
Article 10 prohibits REALTORS® from discriminating on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity in the provision of professional services and in employment practices. The Board approved a new Standard of Practice under the Article, 10-5, that states, "REALTORS® must not use harassing speech, hate speech, epithets, or slurs" against members of those protected classes.
