NCREC Forms for Buyers and Sellers

  1. Working With Real Estate Agents Disclosure (WWREA)

    • Purpose: This mandatory disclosure explains agency relationships (e.g., buyer’s agent, seller’s agent, dual agency) and must be provided by brokers at first substantial contact with a prospective buyer or seller, per NCREC Rule 58A.0104(c). It’s a one-page, double-sided form—sellers on one side, buyers on the other—designed for clarity and simplicity.

    • When It’s Used: Early in the process, before signing agreements, to define how your broker represents you.

  2. Residential Property and Owners’ Association Disclosure Statement (RPOADS)

    • Purpose: Required by NC law (G.S. 47E) for most residential sales (1-4 units), this form details the property’s condition, including defects, repairs, and owners’ association details, helping buyers make informed decisions. Sellers must provide it unless exempt (e.g., court-ordered sales).

    • When It’s Used: Before an offer is made, typically at listing or during due diligence.

  3. Residentail Property Owners Association Disclosure and Mineral and Oil and Gas Rights Mandatory Disclosure Statement (MOGS)

  4. Offer to Purchase and Contract (Form 2-T)

    • Purpose: While not an NCREC form (it’s from NC REALTORS®), it’s commonly used and reviewed by NCREC for compliance. This contract outlines the terms of sale between buyer and seller, including price, contingencies, and closing details.

    • When It’s Used: When a buyer makes an offer, accepted by the seller to formalize the deal.

  5. Application for Payment from Real Estate Recovery Fund (Form REC 4.17)

    • Purpose: This form allows buyers or sellers to seek compensation from the NCREC’s Recovery Fund if they suffer financial loss due to a broker’s misconduct (e.g., fraud). It’s a consumer protection tool, not a transactional form.

    • When It’s Used: Post-transaction, if a licensed broker’s actions cause verifiable loss.
