State Requirements
Caveat Emptor Doctrine
Alabama is a buyer beware (caveat emptor) state with no general requirement for sellers to provide a property condition disclosure form. However, sellers may not actively conceal or misrepresent known material defects. In Alabama, courts have held that sellers must disclose defects that affect health or safety if known. Failing to disclose such hazards or lying in response to buyer questions can lead to fraud liability.
Brokerage Services Disclosure Form
Alabama law requires real estate licensees to provide a "Real Estate Brokerage Services Disclosure" form that explains the agency relationship options to consumers. The listing agent must provide this disclosure to the seller at the time of listing (the seller’s signature on the form is not required by law, but the agent must sign and date it).
MLS Notices
Listing Agreement Required
Only a licensed real estate broker who is a member of the MLS can list a property on the MLS. Alabama regulations and MLS rules require having a written listing agreement signed by the seller before placing the home on the MLS. This agreement authorizes the broker to offer compensation to buyer agents via the MLS.
Clear Cooperation Policy
MLSs in Alabama follow NAR’s Clear Cooperation Policy. This policy requires that within one business day of marketing a property to the public, the listing broker must submit the listing to the MLS for cooperation. If a seller opts to keep a listing off the MLS (an “office exclusive”), the seller must sign an MLS exclusion form certifying they do not want it disseminated to other brokers.
MLS Listing Content Rules
Alabama MLS rules impose various listing content requirements. For example, listings must include at least one property photograph (often a front exterior) within a few days of entry. Listing information must be accurate; material errors or omissions can result in MLS fines. Also, any remarks in the MLS must comply with Fair Housing guidelines (no discriminatory language).
Federal Baseline
Lead-Based Paint Hazard Disclosure
Federal law (Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992) requires sellers of homes built before 1978 to disclose any known lead-based paint or lead hazards and provide buyers with the EPA’s lead hazard information pamphlet. Buyers must also be given a 10-day opportunity to conduct a lead paint inspection or waive that right.
Fair Housing Act (No Discriminatory Advertising)
Under the federal Fair Housing Act, sellers (and their agents) must not publish any advertisement for the listing that expresses a discriminatory preference based on protected classes (e.g. race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin). For example, statements such as 'no children' or other exclusions in home listings are unlawful.
