Testimonial Tree Quick Guide

What is Testimonial Tree?

Testimonial Tree is an automated system that sends client satisfaction surveys via text and email after a loop has been marked closed in Dotloop. The surveys ask the client to write a testimonial and leave a 1-5 star review. If the client leaves a review below 4 stars, that review will be gated and stopped from publishing publicly. Any 4 or 5 star reviews will automatically publish to Testimonial Tree, and once your additional accounts are synced, they will encourage clients to share to those sites (i.e. Google My Business, Facebook, Zillow, and Yelp) as well.

How does it work?

How do I login?

You can sign in at www.testimonialtree.com/login.aspx using your Caine email address and password: temp10final

The Testimonial Tree Dashboard

How do I connect my Realtor.com, Zillow, Facebook, and other accounts?

Realtor.com – Testimonial Tree and Realtor.com have a partnership that allows all your reviews to automatically flow to Realtor.com as “Recommendations” no matter where the original review was posted. All you need to do is connect your Realtor.com account with Testimonial Tree.

Instructions to connect Testimonial Tree with Realtor.com be found here or by scanning this QR code with the camera app on your phone.

Zillow and Other Accounts - Instructions to direct reviews to Zillow can be found here or by scanning the QR code below with your phone’s camera. These same instructions apply to directing reviews to Facebook, Google My Business, and Yelp.

How does Testimonial Tree decide where my clients will be asked to leave a review? Because Testimonial Tree will automatically feed reviews to Realtor.com as “Recommendations,” it will alternate between requesting reviews for the other sites you have setup.

For example, let’s say you’ve setup Testimonial Tree to request reviews for your Zillow and Yelp accounts. Testimonial Tree will alternate 50/50 between those two accounts as your loops in Dotloop close. Closing #1 will direct to Zillow, closing #2 will direct to Yelp, and so on. Note, reviews left on both sites will still flow to Realtor.com as recommendations.

Now, let’s say you’ve setup Testimonial Tree to request reviews for your Zillow, Yelp, and Google My Business accounts. Testimonial Tree will alternate equally between all three accounts. Closing #1 will direct to Zillow, closing #2 will direct to Yelp, closing #3 will direct to Google My Business, and closing #4 will start back at Zillow. Again, reviews left on all three sites will still flow to Realtor.com as recommendations.

Safety

& Showing Guidelines

Safety Tips

General Tips:

• Prior to meeting a prospect, call the number they give and verify it is correct. Also, google their names so you can verify any information you may know

• Always meet a prospective client at the office prior to showing them properties. Ask for a copy of their driver’s license and be sure to introduce them to someone else in your office

• Let someone in your office know where you are going and the name and cell phone number of who you are meeting or leaving with

• Always carry a charged cell phone and program 911 on speed dial

• When on an appointment or at an open house, designate someone to call you at regular intervals

• Share a code word (red file) and address with someone from the office. Example: Amanda, Could you pull the red file for 123 Main St off of my desk to see if there is a copy of the Seller’s Disclosure available? The code word ( red file) is an alert to the person you are talking with call 911

• Carry pepper spray

• When hosting an open house, consider having a lender, another agent, or friend there with you

Showing the property:

• Know your surroundings

• Do not park in the drive-way where you could be blocked in

• Do not wait for the client in the property. Park up the street and watch the prospect arrive

• Do not have your back to the prospect, when showing, let them lead and you follow

• Unless you know the client well, do not go alone into bedrooms, bathrooms, attics, garages, or basements

• Always be aware of the nearest exit

• If showing the property near/at dark, bring someone else with you

• Trust your instincts. Losing a potential client is much better than some of the other possibilities.

Showing Best Practices

• Refrain from expressing your opinion, what may not appeal to you may be exactly what your buyer is seeking

• Be careful what you say while in the home, again you may offend your buyer but you may also offend the seller if you don’t realize someone is in the home

• As you walk through the home, help them imagine themselves living there- discussing how they would place their furniture can be an effective way to do this

• Upon leaving, ask them if the house falls into their Top 3. If it doesn’t, tear up the MLS sheet and move on.

Favorite Showing Questions (Soft Close*):

“soft close” – an easy, low risk question that requires a small, low drama decision.

• Can you see yourself living in this home? Is this a home you’d like to own? When would you like to move in?

• Shall we see if we can buy this home? (power and party personality)

• Shall we make sure we don’t lose this home (peace and perfection personality) If they express an

• objection: So… is there anything else?

• Is there any portion of the home you’d like to see again before we leave?

• If they want to think about it… Offer “Auction Solution” (peace and perfection personality)

• If they want to think about it… Offer “Scratch Pad Solution” so they have something to take home.

Favorite After Showing Questions ( Hard Close*)

“hard close” – a tough, high risk question that creates drama and requires a big decision.

• Which home do you like better? (Comparison of two homes)

• Is this home in our top three? Would you rate this as an 85% home or better? For new construction: What is your favorite plan? Lot?

• If I call you later tonight and tell you one of these houses has sold, which one would you be most disappointed to lose?

• If this home sells tonight, will you be okay with that? What is your Plan B?

SOUTH CAROLINA DISCLOSURE OF REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE

South Carolina Real Estate Commission PO BOX 11847, Columbia, S.C. 29211-1847

Telephone: (803) 896-4400 Fax: (803) 896-4427

http://llr.sc.gov/POL/REC/

Pursuant to South Carolina Real Estate License Law in S.C. Code of Laws Section 40-57-370, a real estate licensee is required to provide you a meaningful explanation of agency relationships offered by the licensee’s brokerage firm. This must be done at the first practical opportunity when you and the licensee have substantive contact.

Before you begin to work with a real estate licensee, it is important for you to know the difference between a broker-in-charge and associated licensees. The broker-in-charge is the person in charge of a real estate brokerage firm. Associated licensees may work only through a broker-in-charge. In other words, when you choose to work with any real estate licensee, your business relationship is legally with the brokerage firm and not with the associated licensee.

A real estate brokerage firm and its associated licensees can provide buyers and sellers valuable real estate services, whether in the form of basic customer services, or through client-level agency representation. The services you can expect will depend upon the legal relationship you establish with the brokerage firm. It is important for you to discuss the following information with the real estate licensee and agree on whether in your business relationship you will be a customer or a client

You Are a Customer of the Brokerage Firm

South Carolina license law defines customers as buyers or sellers who choose NOT to establish an agency relationship. The law requires real estate licensees to perform the following basic duties when dealing with any real estate buyer or seller as customers: present all offers in a timely manner, account for money or other property received on your behalf, provide an explanation of the scope of services to be provided, be fair and honest and provide accurate information, provide limited confidentiality, and disclose “material adverse facts” about the property or the transaction which are within the licensee’s knowledge.

Unless or until you enter into a written agreement with the brokerage firm for agency representation, you are considered a “customer” of the brokerage firm, and the brokerage firm will not act as your agent. As a customer, you should not expect the brokerage firm or its licensees to promote your best interest.

Customer service does not require a written agreement; therefore, you are not committed to the brokerage firm in any way unless a transaction broker agreement or compensation agreement obligates you otherwise

Transaction Brokerage

A real estate brokerage firm may offer transaction brokerage in accordance with S.C. Code of Laws Section 40-57-350. Transaction broker means a real estate brokerage firm that provides customer service to a buyer, a seller, or both in a real estate transaction. A transaction broker may be a single agent of a party in a transaction giving the other party customer service. A transaction broker also may facilitate a transaction without representing either party. The duties of a brokerage firm offering transaction brokerage relationship to a customer can be found in S.C. Code of Laws Section 40-57-350(L)(2).

You Can Become a Client of the Brokerage Firm

Clients receive more services than customers. If client status is offered by the real estate brokerage firm, you can become a client by entering into a written agency agreement requiring the brokerage firm and its associated licensees to act as an agent on your behalf and promote your best interests. If you choose to become a client, you will be asked to confirm in your written representation agreement that you received this agency relationships disclosure document in a timely manner.

A seller becomes a client of a real estate brokerage firm by signing a formal listing agreement with the brokerage firm. For a seller to become a client, this agreement must be in writing and must clearly establish the terms of the agreement and the obligations of both the seller and the brokerage firm which becomes the agent for the seller.

A buyer becomes a client of a real estate brokerage firm by signing a formal buyer agency agreement with the brokerage firm. For a buyer to become a client, this agreement must be in writing and must clearly establish the terms of the agreement and the obligations of both the buyer and the brokerage firm which becomes the agent for the buyer.

SOUTH CAROLINA DISCLOSURE OF REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE RELATIONSHIPS

South Carolina Real Estate Commission PO BOX 11847, Columbia, S.C. 29211-1847

Telephone: (803) 896-4400 Fax: (803) 896-4427

http://llr.sc.gov/POL/REC/

If you enter into a written agency agreement, as a client, the real estate brokerage has the following client-level duties: obedience, loyalty, disclosure, confidentiality, accounting, and reasonable skill and care. Client-level services also include advice, counsel and assistance in negotiations.

Single Agency

When the brokerage firm represents only one client in the same transaction (the seller or the buyer), it is called single agency.

Dual Agency

Dual agency exists when the real estate brokerage firm has two clients in one transaction – a seller client and a buyer client. At the time you sign an agency agreement, you may be asked to acknowledge whether you would consider giving written consent allowing the brokerage firm to represent both you and the other client in a disclosed dual agency relationship.

Disclosed Dual Agency

In a disclosed dual agency, the brokerage firm’s representation duties are limited because the buyer and seller have recognized conflicts of interest. Both clients’ interests are represented by the brokerage firm. As a disclosed dual agent, the brokerage firm and its associated licensees cannot advocate on behalf of one client over the other, and cannot disclose confidential client information concerning the price negotiations, terms, or factors motivating the buyer/client to buy or the seller/client to sell. Each Dual Agency Agreement contains the names of both the seller client(s) and the buyer client(s) and identifies the property.

Designated Agency

In designated agency, a broker-in-charge may designate individual associated licensees to act solely on behalf of each client. Designated agents are not limited by the brokerage firm’s agency relationship with the other client, but instead have a duty to promote the best interest of their clients, including negotiating a price. The broker-in-charge remains a disclosed dual agent for both clients, and ensures the assigned agents fulfill their duties to their respective clients. At the time you sign an agency agreement, you may be asked to acknowledge whether you would consider giving written consent allowing the brokerage firm to designate a representative for you and one for the other client in a designated agency. Each Designated Agency Agreement contains the names of both the seller client(s) and the buyer client(s) and identifies the property.

It’s Your Choice

As a real estate consumer in South Carolina, it is your choice as to the type and nature of services you receive.

• You can choose to remain a customer and represent yourself, with or without a transaction broker agreement.

• You can choose to hire the brokerage firm for representation through a written agency agreement

• If represented by the brokerage firm, you can decide whether to go forward under the shared services of dual agency or designated agency or to remain in single agency.

If you plan to become a client of a brokerage firm, the licensee will explain the agreement to you fully and answer questions you may have about the agreement. Remember, however that until you enter into a representation agreement with the brokerage firm, you are considered a customer and the brokerage firm cannot be your advocate, cannot advise you on price or terms, and only provides limited confidentiality unless a transaction broker agreement obligates the brokerage firm otherwise

The choice of services belongs to you – the South Carolina real estate consumer.

Party requesting the escrow shall pay all costs for escrow. If the dispute is not resolved within 180 days of Closing, the escrow shall be disbursed to the Broker. Parties agree that Brokers are third party beneficiaries to this Contract and have standing to seek remedies at law and equity. Parties represent that their only enforceable agency and/or non-agency agreements are with the Brokers disclosed in this Contract. Should any Broker receive any compensation from the transaction in this Contract that has not been disclosed to Seller and Buyer in this Contract or a listing agency or compensation agreement disclosed, then prior to Closing, the Broker that expects to receive such compensation must notify Seller and Buyer and receive their written permission for Broker to receive such compensation. 28.

Questions to Ask Listing Agent Once Contract Ratified

(1) Is the Seller’s Notice Address on Page 7 where the Termination Fee should be sent if the Buyer(s) decide to terminate ?

• When writing an offer for a Buyer, t he default address to insert on Page 7 is the Listing Brokerage office address , unless you are otherwise notified to insert a different address.

• Once under Contract, point out to the Listing Agent that the Listing Brokerage address was identified as the Notice Address on Page 7 and ask if that is correct.

• If the answer is “No,” and the Seller wants the fee delivered somewhere else or via a different manner, confirm that in writing via email or chang e the address/add to the address that on the face of the Contract in the Notice Address line on Page 7 (example: add to the Notice Address “If Buyer Terminates, Buyer to deliver fee via Seller’s Paypal account: @HappySeller73”) Remember to have ANY changes to the Contract initialed by all parties.

(2) IF the Listing Brokerage is the co rrect delivery address OR if the notice address is any type of office (law office, place of business for Seller, etc), what are the hours of operation for the notice address and are there any expected office closures at that address during the Due Diligenc e period?

(3) Will the Listing Agent be out of town at all during the Due Diligence period? If so, who will the point of contact be for the Listing Agent during the Due Diligence period? (Also note, you would be asking the Buyer if they will be on a trip or out of pocket at all during the Due Diligence period as well) .

(4) If the Buyer is local and will be personally delivering the Termination Fee, who should the Buyer ask for when delivering the fee to the notice address?

(5) If the Buyer is NOT local, discuss with the Listing Agent the best method for the Buyer to deliver the fee to the notice address – or consider identifying a mutually agreed to alternate notice address. If an alternate notice address is needed because the Buyer is not local, see third bullet point in question (1) above.

(6) If the Buyer decides to terminate, or at least 72 -hours before the Due Diligence deadline, follow up with the Listing Agent to make sure none of the answers above have changed to ensure a smooth delivery of the Termination Fee.

SUMMARY OF SALE

Repair Process

Acknowledgement of Professional Services

Buyer(s): _____________________________________________________________________

At closing, the Buyer accepts the home in the “as-is” condition.

Therefore, Coldwell Banker Caine strongly recommends that our clients purchasing a property employ appropriate professionals to conduct inspections or other services as part of their due diligence.

Inspections include, but are not limited to:

General Home Inspection by qualified inspector

CL 100 Inspection for termites, pests, and/or moisture damage

Inspection for Radon Gas

Heating and Air Conditioning inspection (separate)

Electrical System inspection (separate)

Plumbing System Inspection (separate)

Structural Inspection (structural engineer)

Roof Inspections (separate)

Inspection of storage tanks (above or below ground) included, but not limited to oil, gas, chemical, etc.

Septic Tank Inspection (active or abandoned)

Well water test for pollutants

Elevation Inspection for floodplain

Environmental Inspections, including, but not limited to, Asbestos, Mold, Lead Paint

Square Footage Verification

Stucco inspection (EIFS or masonry)

Fireplace Inspection

Swimming Pool & Equipment inspection

Irrigation Inspection

The Coldwell Banker Caine professional may provide contacts for each of these inspections. However, it is the sole responsibility of the client to interview and determine which inspections they would like to complete and which inspectors they would like to employ.

The Residential Property Condition Disclosure Statement is based on the Sellers’ limited knowledge of their home. Inspections are performed by licensed professionals to uncover issues that exist with the home prior to the purchase. The Buyer and Seller may negotiate for the Seller to make certain repairs. If Sellers agree to replace, repair, or correct deficiencies discovered by these inspectors, it is impossible to know if these repairs are complete before closing, even if a paid invoice is provided. Therefore, Coldwell Banker Caine strongly recommends Buyers engage inspectors to re‐inspect all repairs completed to ensure the contractors engaged have completed the entire list of repairs to the satisfaction of the inspector

Inspections are designed to help the Buyer understand defects that exist, and re-inspections are designed to insure agreed upon repairs have been completed. Inspectors make their best efforts to find all defects, but it is possible that not all defects will be uncovered in these preliminary inspections. Therefore, Buyers should investigate and understand the benefits and costs of a Home Warranty. The Home Warranty representative can explain all the information needed to make an educated decision on the purchase of the warranty

Coldwell Banker Caine strongly recommends that the Buyer ask the closing attorney to order a Survey. Surveys are designed to provide information about the property lines, right of ways, encroachments , and other issues that may need to be discussed before closing. Buyers should discuss the benefits and costs of a survey with the closing attorney.

The Buyer should engage additional professionals to provide information needed prior to closing, including but not limited to:

• If a Homeowners Association exists, Buyer is encouraged to contact the President of the Homeowners Association and the Homeowners Association management representative to discuss any and all questions about the Homeowners Association and obtain the Covenants and Restrictions, Bylaws, Financial Statements and Meeting Notes.

• Mortgage options and information should be discussed with a Mortgage Banker or Mortgage Broker.

• It is recommended that Homeowners Insurance quotes and CLUE reports be review ed prior to writing an offer. Options and premiums should be discussed with an insurance professional and coverage should begin at closing.

• An Appraisal may be required by the mortgage provider and, if so, will be ordered by the mortgage provider. If not required, Buyers can order an appraisal for their own knowledge.

• Purchase Owners Title Insurance can be obtained from the closing attorney .

• Covenants and Restrictions and/or information about zoning can be obtained from the closing attorney.

• Tax advantages of homeownership or other tax related information can be discussed with a Certified Public Accountant.

• Transfer of the utilities should be arranged in advance and transitioned to the Buyers on the day of closing.

The Coldwell Banker Caine professional may provide contacts for each of these professionals or services. However, it is the sole responsibility of the client to choose and engage the services of professionals providing service or advice.

It is recommended that Buyers perform a final walk through of the home prior to closing to ensure the home is in the condition expected and that all contractual obligations have been met. After closing, the Seller has no further obligations to perform any repairs, correct any issues , or provide any additional items or information.

SOUTH CAROLINA DISCLOSURE OF REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE RELATIONSHIPS

South Carolina Real Estate Commission PO BOX 11847, Columbia, S.C. 29211-1847

Telephone: (803) 896-4400 Fax: (803) 896-4427

http://llr.sc.gov/POL/REC/

Pursuant to South Carolina Real Estate License Law in S.C. Code of Laws Section 40-57-370, a real estate licensee is required to provide you a meaningful explanation of agency relationships offered by the licensee’s brokerage firm. This must be done at the first practical opportunity when you and the licensee have substantive contact.

Before you begin to work with a real estate licensee, it is important for you to know the difference between a broker-in-charge and associated licensees. The broker-in-charge is the person in charge of a real estate brokerage firm. Associated licensees may work only through a broker-in-charge. In other words, when you choose to work with any real estate licensee, your business relationship is legally with the brokerage firm and not with the associated licensee.

A real estate brokerage firm and its associated licensees can provide buyers and sellers valuable real estate services, whether in the form of basic customer services, or through client-level agency representation. The services you can expect will depend upon the legal relationship you establish with the brokerage firm. It is important for you to discuss the following information with the real estate licensee and agree on whether in your business relationship you will be a customer or a client

You Are a Customer of the Brokerage Firm

South Carolina license law defines customers as buyers or sellers who choose NOT to establish an agency relationship. The law requires real estate licensees to perform the following basic duties when dealing with any real estate buyer or seller as customers: present all offers in a timely manner, account for money or other property received on your behalf, provide an explanation of the scope of services to be provided, be fair and honest and provide accurate information, provide limited confidentiality, and disclose “material adverse facts” about the property or the transaction which are within the licensee’s knowledge.

Unless or until you enter into a written agreement with the brokerage firm for agency representation, you are considered a “customer” of the brokerage firm, and the brokerage firm will not act as your agent. As a customer, you should not expect the brokerage firm or its licensees to promote your best interest.

Customer service does not require a written agreement; therefore, you are not committed to the brokerage firm in any way unless a transaction broker agreement or compensation agreement obligates you otherwise.

Transaction Brokerage

A real estate brokerage firm may offer transaction brokerage in accordance with S.C. Code of Laws Section 40-57-350. Transaction broker means a real estate brokerage firm that provides customer service to a buyer, a seller, or both in a real estate transaction. A transaction broker may be a single agent of a party in a transaction giving the other party customer service. A transaction broker also may facilitate a transaction without representing either party. The duties of a brokerage firm offering transaction brokerage relationship to a customer can be found in S.C. Code of Laws Section 40-57-350(L)(2).

You Can Become a Client of the Brokerage Firm

Clients receive more services than customers. If client status is offered by the real estate brokerage firm, you can become a client by entering into a written agency agreement requiring the brokerage firm and its associated licensees to act as an agent on your behalf and promote your best interests. If you choose to become a client, you will be asked to confirm in your written representation agreement that you received this agency relationships disclosure document in a timely manner.

A seller becomes a client of a real estate brokerage firm by signing a formal listing agreement with the brokerage firm. For a seller to become a client, this agreement must be in writing and must clearly establish the terms of the agreement and the obligations of both the seller and the brokerage firm which becomes the agent for the seller.

A buyer becomes a client of a real estate brokerage firm by signing a formal buyer agency agreement with the brokerage firm. For a buyer to become a client, this agreement must be in writing and must clearly establish the terms of the agreement and the obligations of both the buyer and the brokerage firm which becomes the agent for the buyer.

SOUTH CAROLINA DISCLOSURE OF REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE RELATIONSHIPS

South Carolina Real Estate Commission

PO BOX 11847, Columbia, S.C. 29211-1847

Telephone: (803) 896-4400 Fax: (803) 896-4427

http://llr.sc.gov/POL/REC/

If you enter into a written agency agreement, as a client, the real estate brokerage has the following client-level duties: obedience, loyalty, disclosure, confidentiality, accounting, and reasonable skill and care. Client-level services also include advice, counsel and assistance in negotiations.

Single Agency

When the brokerage firm represents only one client in the same transaction (the seller or the buyer), it is called single agency.

Dual Agency

Dual agency exists when the real estate brokerage firm has two clients in one transaction – a seller client and a buyer client. At the time you sign an agency agreement, you may be asked to acknowledge whether you would consider giving written consent allowing the brokerage firm to represent both you and the other client in a disclosed dual agency relationship.

Disclosed Dual Agency

In a disclosed dual agency, the brokerage firm’s representation duties are limited because the buyer and seller have recognized conflicts of interest. Both clients’ interests are represented by the brokerage firm. As a disclosed dual agent, the brokerage firm and its associated licensees cannot advocate on behalf of one client over the other, and cannot disclose confidential client information concerning the price negotiations, terms, or factors motivating the buyer/client to buy or the seller/client to sell. Each Dual Agency Agreement contains the names of both the seller client(s) and the buyer client(s) and identifies the property.

Designated Agency

In designated agency, a broker-in-charge may designate individual associated licensees to act solely on behalf of each client. Designated agents are not limited by the brokerage firm’s agency relationship with the other client, but instead have a duty to promote the best interest of their clients, including negotiating a price. The broker-in-charge remains a disclosed dual agent for both clients, and ensures the assigned agents fulfill their duties to their respective clients. At the time you sign an agency agreement, you may be asked to acknowledge whether you would consider giving written consent allowing the brokerage firm to designate a representative for you and one for the other client in a designated agency. Each Designated Agency Agreement contains the names of both the seller client(s) and the buyer client(s) and identifies the property.

It’s Your Choice

As a real estate consumer in South Carolina, it is your choice as to the type and nature of services you receive.

• You can choose to remain a customer and represent yourself, with or without a transaction broker agreement.

• You can choose to hire the brokerage firm for representation through a written agency agreement

• If represented by the brokerage firm, you can decide whether to go forward under the shared services of dual agency or designated agency or to remain in single agency.

If you plan to become a client of a brokerage firm, the licensee will explain the agreement to you fully and answer questions you may have about the agreement. Remember, however that until you enter into a representation agreement with the brokerage firm, you are considered a customer and the brokerage firm cannot be your advocate, cannot advise you on price or terms, and only provides limited confidentiality unless a transaction broker agreement obligates the brokerage firm otherwise

The choice of services belongs to you – the South Carolina real estate consumer.

STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA

RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY CONDITION

DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

The South Carolina Code of Laws (Title 27, Chapter 50, Article 1) requires that an owner of residential real property (single family dwelling unit or a single transaction involving transfer of four dwelling units or less) shall provide to a purchaser this completed and signed disclosure statement prior to forming a real estate contract. This disclosure must be provided in connection with any sale, exchange, installment land sale, and lease with an option to purchase contract. This disclosure statement is not required in connection with transactions listed and exempted by South Carolina Code § 27 -50-30. Owners should answer the questions fully, honestly, and appropriately by attaching documents, checking a box for each check box question, and writing in the blanks on this disclosure statement.

If a question is answered “Yes” or asks for a description, then owner must explain or describe the issue or attach a descriptive report from an engineer, contractor, pest control operator, expert, or public agency. If owner attaches a report, owner shall not be liable for inaccurate or incomplete information in the report unless owner was grossly negligent in obtaining or transmitting the information. If owner fails to check “Yes” or make a disclosure and owner knows there is a problem, owner may be liable for making an intentional or negligent misrepresentation and may owe the purchaser actual damages, court costs, and attorney fees. If a question is answered “No” for any question, the owner is stating that owner has no actual knowledge of any problem.

By answering “No Representation” on this disclosure statement, the owner is acknowledging that they do not have the current knowledge necessary to answer the questions with either a “ Yes” or “No” response. Owner still has a duty to disclose information that is known at the time of the disclosure statement. “No Representation” should not be selected if the owner simply wishes to not disclose information or answer the question. Selecting “No Representation” does not waive liability if owner is aware or subsequently becomes aware.

If a question is answered and subsequently new information is obtained or something changes to render the owner’s answer incorrect, inaccurate, or misleading (example: roof begins to leak), owner must promptly correct the disclosure. In some situations, the owner may notify the purchaser of the correction. In some situations, the owner may correct or repair the issue.

The owner shall deliver to the purchaser this disclosure before a real estate contract is signed by the purchaser and owner, or as otherwise agreed in the real estate contract. The real estate licensee must disclose material adverse facts about the property if actually known by the licensee about the issue, regardless of owner responses on this disclosure. Owner is solely responsible to complete this disclosure as truthfully and fully as possible. Owner and purchaser are solely responsible to consult with their attorneys regarding any disclosure issues. By signing below, owners acknowledge their duties and that failure to disclose known material information about the property may result in owner liability.

Owner must provide the completed disclosure statement to the purchaser prior to the time the owner and purchaser sign a real estate contract unless the real estate contract states otherwise. Owner should provide a signed copy to the purchaser and keep a copy signed by the purchaser.

A real estate contract, not this disclosure, controls what property transfers from owner to purchaser.

WIRE FRAUD WARNING

Anyone involved in a real estate transaction can become a criminal’s target for WIRE FRAUD, crimes, or assault. Always be suspicious of all emailed wiring instructions. Always check the wire’s authenticity and routing numbers.

Immediately communicate any suspicion of an email WIRE FRAUD scheme to banks and law enforcement (FBI).

NEVER WIRE MONEY OR SEND MONEY TO ANYONE WITHOUT VERBALLY VERIFYING THE WIRING/TRANSFER DIRECTIONS AND RECIPIENT VIA TRUSTED SOURCES (NOT EMAIL) IN A TIMELY AND REASONABLE MANNER

DUE TO WIRE FRAUD SCAMS, REALTORS® WILL ALMOST NEVER EMAIL WIRING INSTRUCTIONS.

Always verify wiring instructions via trusted sources (not email)(e.g. phone, visual, mail) and knowing/recognizing lawyer’s/seller’s/staff’s voice on the phone or seeing faces Beware: Criminals create fake law firms/staff/phone numbers

Domestic and over seas organized WIRE FRAUD criminals can create fake phone numbers using a local area code.

Domestic and over seas organized WIRE FRAUD criminals may hack into trusted email accounts (e.g. lawyers, sellers, real estate licensees, bankers) and email fake wire instructions to YOU and steal YOUR money if YOU wire without verification. WIRE FRAUD defenses: Proper verification of WIRE instructions. Use secure/encrypted email, mail, courier, or fax in lieu of email which is vulnerable to WIRE FRAUD hacking. Obtain cyber/crime insurance Utilize trusted REALTORS®, local established professionals. Timely/properly investigate/check on people, companies, and real estate schemes/crimes (internet) to avoid and deter crooks Contact law enforcement and SCR (803-772-5206) for information on WIRE FRAUD

Domestic and over seas organized criminals can “phish” for identity theft information. Beware clicking links and emails. Consider using two step email authentication (text code) alongside state of the art password protection. Sellers should secure all valuables, drugs, weapons, pets, sentimental items, and identity theft information prior to showings. Consider personal safety at all times. Stop criminals scraping listings into fake rentals (Google Alerts, Alert Craigslist/VRBO).

PARTIES ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBTAINING LEGAL ADVICE PRIOR TO SIGNING AND DURING THE TRANSACTION. REALTORS® RECOMMEND OBTAINING LEGAL COUNSEL. VERIFY WIRE INSTRUCTIONS. Due to potential WIRE FRAUD, parties are solely responsible to verify all WIRE instructions from anyone. Parties acknowledge receiving, reading, reviewing, and understanding: this WIRE FRAUD WARNING. Please report crimes to law enforcement (e.g. FBI) and applicable REALTOR® associations (info@screaltors.org 803-772-5206).

EARNEST MONEY DISCLOSURE

PARTIES understand that sometimes unfortunately, a transaction may fail to close for a variety of reasons.

PARTIES understand that a Broker-in-Charge or attorney holding an earnest money deposit must handle that earnest money deposit in accordance with SC real estate license laws paraphrased below:

Buyers and Sellers agree that if a transaction fails to close, a Broker-in-Charge or attorney acting as an escrow agent shall hold the earnest money in safe keeping in accordance with SC laws and shall not disburse the earnest money to anyone until:

● AlltheBuyersandSellerssignadisbursementagreementstatingwhogetswhatamountofearnest money,or

● Ajudgeinacourtofcompetentjurisdictionissuesadisbursementorder.

Only when all parties sign a disbursement agreement or a disbursement order is obtained from the court, the Broker-in-Charge or attorney will properly disburse the earnest money within a reasonable amount of time in accordance with SC laws.

If Parties are using a lawyer to hold the earnest money in trust, Parties should consider signing a written escrow agreement with that lawyer that details how the earnest money is held and how the earnest money is disbursed by the lawyer.

Buyers and Sellers are encouraged to obtain legal counsel prior to signing any legal documents.

SOUTH CAROLINA DISCLOSURE OF REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE RELATIONSHIPS

South Carolina Real Estate Commission PO BOX 11847, Columbia, S.C. 29211-1847

Pursuant to South Carolina Real Estate License Law in S.C. Code of Laws Section 40-57-370, a real estate licensee is required to provide you a meaningful explanation of agency relationships offered by the licensee’s brokerage firm. This must be done at the first practical opportunity when you and the licensee have substantive contact.

Before you begin to work with a real estate licensee, it is important for you to know the difference between a broker-in-charge and associated licensees. The broker-in-charge is the person in charge of a real estate brokerage firm. Associated licensees may work only through a broker-in-charge. In other words, when you choose to work with any real estate licensee, your business relationship is legally with the brokerage firm and not with the associated licensee.

A real estate brokerage firm and its associated licensees can provide buyers and sellers valuable real estate services, whether in the form of basic customer services, or through client-level agency representation. The services you can expect will depend upon the legal relationship you establish with the brokerage firm. It is important for you to discuss the following information with the real estate licensee and agree on whether in your business relationship you will be a customer or a client

You Are a Customer of the Brokerage Firm

South Carolina license law defines customers as buyers or sellers who choose NOT to establish an agency relationship. The law requires real estate licensees to perform the following basic duties when dealing with any real estate buyer or seller as customers: present all offers in a timely manner, account for money or other property received on your behalf, provide an explanation of the scope of services to be provided, be fair and honest and provide accurate information, provide limited confidentiality, and disclose “material adverse facts” about the property or the transaction which are within the licensee’s knowledge.

Unless or until you enter into a written agreement with the brokerage firm for agency representation, you are considered a “customer” of the brokerage firm, and the brokerage firm will not act as your agent. As a customer, you should not expect the brokerage firm or its licensees to promote your best interest.

Customer service does not require a written agreement; therefore, you are not committed to the brokerage firm in any way unless a transaction broker agreement or compensation agreement obligates you otherwise.

Transaction Brokerage

A real estate brokerage firm may offer transaction brokerage in accordance with S.C. Code of Laws Section 40-57-350. Transaction broker means a real estate brokerage firm that provides customer service to a buyer, a seller, or both in a real estate transaction. A transaction broker may be a single agent of a party in a transaction giving the other party customer service. A transaction broker also may facilitate a transaction without representing either party. The duties of a brokerage firm offering transaction brokerage relationship to a customer can be found in S.C. Code of Laws Section 40-57-350(L)(2).

You Can Become a Client of the Brokerage Firm

Clients receive more services than customers. If client status is offered by the real estate brokerage firm, you can become a client by entering into a written agency agreement requiring the brokerage firm and its associated licensees to act as an agent on your behalf and promote your best interests. If you choose to become a client, you will be asked to confirm in your written representation agreement that you received this agency relationships disclosure document in a timely manner.

A seller becomes a client of a real estate brokerage firm by signing a formal listing agreement with the brokerage firm. For a seller to become a client, this agreement must be in writing and must clearly establish the terms of the agreement and the obligations of both the seller and the brokerage firm which becomes the agent for the seller.

A buyer becomes a client of a real estate brokerage firm by signing a formal buyer agency agreement with the brokerage firm. For a buyer to become a client, this agreement must be in writing and must clearly establish the terms of the agreement and the obligations of both the buyer and the brokerage firm which becomes the agent for the buyer.

SOUTH CAROLINA DISCLOSURE OF REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE RELATIONSHIPS

If you enter into a written agency agreement, as a client, the real estate brokerage has the following client-level duties: obedience, loyalty, disclosure, confidentiality, accounting, and reasonable skill and care. Client-level services also include advice, counsel and assistance in negotiations.

Single Agency

When the brokerage firm represents only one client in the same transaction (the seller or the buyer), it is called single agency.

Dual Agency

Dual agency exists when the real estate brokerage firm has two clients in one transaction – a seller client and a buyer client. At the time you sign an agency agreement, you may be asked to acknowledge whether you would consider giving written consent allowing the brokerage firm to represent both you and the other client in a disclosed dual agency relationship.

Disclosed Dual Agency

In a disclosed dual agency, the brokerage firm’s representation duties are limited because the buyer and seller have recognized conflicts of interest. Both clients’ interests are represented by the brokerage firm. As a disclosed dual agent, the brokerage firm and its associated licensees cannot advocate on behalf of one client over the other, and cannot disclose confidential client information concerning the price negotiations, terms, or factors motivating the buyer/client to buy or the seller/client to sell. Each Dual Agency Agreement contains the names of both the seller client(s) and the buyer client(s) and identifies the property.

Designated Agency

In designated agency, a broker-in-charge may designate individual associated licensees to act solely on behalf of each client. Designated agents are not limited by the brokerage firm’s agency relationship with the other client, but instead have a duty to promote the best interest of their clients, including negotiating a price. The broker-in-charge remains a disclosed dual agent for both clients, and ensures the assigned agents fulfill their duties to their respective clients. At the time you sign an agency agreement, you may be asked to acknowledge whether you would consider giving written consent allowing the brokerage firm to designate a representative for you and one for the other client in a designated agency. Each Designated Agency Agreement contains the names of both the seller client(s) and the buyer client(s) and identifies the property.

It’s Your Choice

As a real estate consumer in South Carolina, it is your choice as to the type and nature of services you receive.

• You can choose to remain a customer and represent yourself, with or without a transaction broker agreement.

• You can choose to hire the brokerage firm for representation through a written agency agreement

• If represented by the brokerage firm, you can decide whether to go forward under the shared services of dual agency or designated agency or to remain in single agency.

If you plan to become a client of a brokerage firm, the licensee will explain the agreement to you fully and answer questions you may have about the agreement. Remember, however that until you enter into a representation agreement with the brokerage firm, you are considered a customer and the brokerage firm cannot be your advocate, cannot advise you on price or terms, and only provides limited confidentiality unless a transaction broker agreement obligates the brokerage firm otherwise

The choice of services belongs to you – the South Carolina real estate consumer.
