Heartfelt Thanks to Our Volunteers
In July 2024, Governor Phil Murphy signed the Real Estate Consumer Protection Enhancement Act (RECPEA) into law, marking a significant shift in how real estate transactions are conducted in New Jersey. This important legislation, which took effect on August 1, 2024, enhances protections for both consumers and real estate professionals, prioritizing transparency and accountability in our industry.
To help our members stay compliant and informed, here are the top six updates every NCJAR REALTOR® should know:
1. Seller’s Property Condition Disclosure Statement Now Required
Sellers of residential properties are now required to provide a fully completed property condition disclosure statement before buyers become contractually obligated. This promotes transparency, enables informed decision-making, and helps reduce the risk of future disputes. Ensuring this document is completed and delivered on time is now a non-negotiable part of every residential listing.
2. Brokerage Service Agreements Are Mandatory
