What is the Mandatory Disclosure Agreement?

Hey everyone, here's a short post on the Mandatory Disclosure form.

This form is different from an exclusive buyers agent contract. Some agencies will try to LOCK YOU IN to working with them through an exclusive buyers agent contract. At the Ortins Group all clients only sign the mandatory disclosure form.

There is no obligation to working with an agent by signing the mandatory disclosure form.  The mandatory disclosure form here in the pic below is a form that’s unique to the state of Massachusetts.  This disclosure, describes the relationships that exist through agency, a to a buyer and/or seller. This form is required to be presented to a client the 1^st time a specific property is discussed. 

The top of the page states that “This is not a contract,” like an exclusive buyer agreement, for example.  The signature on the bottom just documents for the agent’s brokerage and the state that the agent has disclosed his relationship with the potential clients.  The mandatory disclosure form is not a contract and it is clearly stated on the form.  Before the advent of this form, many clients were not fully aware of the different relationships that exist during a real estate transaction.  So this disclosure simply ensures the buyer and sellers best interest in understanding who works for them and who doesn’t. 

Here is a quick breakdown of the five different agent-consumer relationships:

Lets start with dual agency. This is the most rare form of representation. This means the agent is representing both buyer and seller in the same transaction. The agent should be neutral in regards to any conflicting interest of the seller and buyer. Agent must do their due diligence to satisfy both buyer and seller to the best of their ability. Both seller and buyer must agree in writing to use this representation.

Whenever an agent works to assist the buyer and seller to reach an agreement without representing either side in the transaction, this is non-agent facilitator.   While also pretty rare, the Ortins Group have done two of these recently!

When the buyer and seller have each have an agent from the same agency, this is called designated agency.  Each client assumes that only their agent works for them and understands that other agents in the office may br working on behalf of the other party in the transaction.  

The most common used agency is buyer’s agent and seller’s agent. This is when each agent works for only a buyer or only a seller in the same transaction and are from different brokerages. Complete fiduciary duty applies for each agent to their client on both sides of the transaction provided by agents. As above with designated agency, this type of agency assures that your agent works only for you during this transaction.

The disclosure ensures the client that their agent(s) provide the 6 traits of agency to their clients: obedience, loyalty, disclosure, confidentiality, accountability and reasonable care that they deserve.  

Thanks for reading!

Peabody, MA 5BR premarket listing videos

With just a little bit of imagination you can see how beautiful this bathroom and walk in closet combo in this master suite will be.  Cabinets and California style closets really attract buyers, so I'll try to make another video when it's completed.  This video is a little noisy because the drywall installer is sanding in the background.

I was just doing a builder tour of a pre market listing on Dudley St in Peabody.  The basement  has an double closets, a 3/4 bath and window has a cool emergency exit feature.  Take a look!

Rave review for the Ortins Group!

One of our loyal buyers just posted this incredible review yesterday on our Google Business page. Great work, Brian! Thank you, Chan!

It has been a pleasure working with Brian and his team in the past few years during my few multifamily acquisitions.

Brian went above and beyond his normal responsibility as an agent. He is very investor friendly, and easy to talk to. Brian has an excellent personality and is very professional. He has the intellect to get things done right. He connects well with lender, appraiser, seller .. etc. Most importantly he is a very good and smooth negotiator. This is critical during the acquisition phase. He understands real estate investment terminology.  

I am a buy-hold multifamily cash flow investor. When I evaluate the buildings, Brian is my check and balance making sure that my acquisition makes sense in achieving my goal.

For me, Brian is one stop shopping. He has the capability to help me manage my portfolio in the future when needed. He also can help me navigate any rehab as necessary. In addition, he is very connected with hard money lenders, and knowledgeable in other areas of real estate investing. Below are a few items that he and I often talk about: fix/flip, rehab and cost, hard money lending, 401k lending, condo conversation. No one ever talks about strategy. If you need a good strategy conservation with a warm guy, Brian is your good go-to guy. You will feel the energy during and after the conversation.

In short, Brian is the person that can help take things to the next level. He has an appetite for investing, and believes no investment is too small to help an investor with. 

3 Symonds St, Salem, 2nd floor floorplan

The "rough" is done on our Salem project and I'll walk you through some of the second floor design elements. You can get a sense of the creative floor planning and the new open feel of the 2nd floor landing.

Excellent opportunity for a HUNGRY real estate agent (North Shore)

We've interviewed a few folks, but are still looking for the agents that will be the best fit for the Ortins Group!
