2013 KCRAR Forms Released on Dec. 17


Access new, 2013 KCRAR forms starting Dec. 17 at www.kcrar.com. One major change that impacts most forms in the KCRAR Forms Library: Pages have been updated so that there are blanks for Seller and/or Buyer initials at the bottom of any page that does not already provide a signature line.

 

In addition, one form that had significant revision is the New Homes Sale Contract.. The contract form now contains a builder repurchase provision, greater clarity on expenses related to subsurface and site-preparation, and new language on upgrades and change orders and their potential effect on the appraisal, among other revisions to the contract. A complete summary of the changes made to all 2013 forms will be available at www.kcrar.com.

Additionally, KCRAR will be offering the option of watching a DVD to satisfy the Code of Ethics requirement (no CE credit). Morning sessions (9 to 11:30 a.m.) and afternoon sessions (1 to 3:30 p.m.) will be offered on Dec. 14 in the KCRAR classroom.
