[quote=CA renter][quote=george]The seller’s disclosures and seller’s agent inspection disclosures should be completed before the property is listed. IMO an agent that prices and lists a property before getting the seller’s disclosures and before doing their own agent’s inspection/disclosures is not doing their job in a professional manner.[/quote]

Very good point, George. I agree.[/quote]

I also think that would be a good standard of practice.
However, it is not the current standard.
Kind of like how I would like to see dual-agency eliminated as a permitted practice.

Our contracts specify 7 days following acceptance to deliver disclosures to buyer.

[quote=george]BTW, if your realtor is implying to you that it’s OK to get the disclosures the day of the inspection I would have less confidence in their ability to manage the contract and to look out for your best interests. It’s also not fair to the home inspector who gets the last minute cancellation and probably won’t be able to rebook that time slot.[/quote]
I would disagree with this.
It is generally not realistic to put a time frame of less than 5 days on the seller to deliver disclosures.
Most people need a couple of days to complete the forms (usually more than 50 pages).
Also, the inspection needs to be done asap.
While it would be nice to see if there is an issue that would queer the deal up front, usually the disclosures don’t give you that (at least in my experience). Usually, on a diligent inspection gives you that.
