Arkansas Real Estate Overview
Arkansas is a "buyer beware" (caveat emptor) state for real estate transactions. Closings are handled by title companies or escrow agents. Arkansas passed minimum services law in 2005 requiring brokers provide basic services.
Federal Compliance Checklist
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.
State-Level Rules Sellers Must Follow
No Mandatory Seller Form (Buyer Beware)
Arkansas has no state law requiring a seller to complete a property condition disclosure form. The state adheres to the caveat emptor (“buyer beware”) doctrine, placing responsibility on the buyer to inspect the property. However, sellers and agents cannot commit fraud by actively hiding defects. In fact, Arkansas regulations require real estate licensees to “exert reasonable efforts” to discover and disclose material facts about the property to prospective buyers.
County & City Considerations
Local Requirements
There are no unique local disclosure laws in Arkansas. Home sales are governed by state law and general anti-fraud principles. Cities and counties in Arkansas do not impose additional seller disclosure form requirements beyond what state law requires.
Seller Disclosure Requirements
What sellers must disclose in Arkansas:
- No mandatory seller's property condition disclosure form by law
- Known material defects must be disclosed if directly asked
- Fraud prohibited - cannot conceal known problems
- Former methamphetamine lab disclosure required (Ark. Code § 8-7-1403)
- Federal lead-based paint disclosure for pre-1978 homes
- Many REALTORS® use voluntary disclosure form
MLS Rules & Listing Logistics
MLS Policies
In Arkansas, sellers must work with a licensed broker to list on the MLS. A written listing agreement is required. MLS rules (e.g., in the Cooperative Arkansas MLS) generally require listing data be entered within a specified time after signing and mandate accuracy of information. The Clear Cooperation policy applies (listing shared in MLS within 1 business day of public marketing). At least one photo is typically required, and no discriminatory wording is allowed in MLS listings.
How Much Equity You Keep on a $253,000 Sale
Every seller sees the math before launch. We assume a $7,590 buyer-agent incentive (3%) across all options so you can compare apples-to-apples with “flat fee” services that tack on a percentage at closing.
| Option | Upfront Fees | Due at Closing | Total Listing Cost | Buyer Agent (3%) | Total Listing & Selling Costs | Savings vs 6% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meydomo Flat-Fee MLS1 | $299 | $999 | $1,298 | $7,590 | $8,888 | $6,292 |
| Housecoin “Flat Fee”2 | $0 | $2,530 | $2,530 | $7,590 | $10,120 | $5,060 |
| Houzeo Silver Plan3 | $249 | $1,265 | $1,514 | $7,590 | $9,104 | $6,076 |
| Traditional 6% Agent4 | $0 | $7,590 | $7,590 | $7,590 | $15,180 | — |
* Buyer-agent line assumes a 3% incentive across every scenario. Sellers can set Meydomo buyer-agent payouts anywhere from 2% to 3%.
1 Meydomo pricing: $299 to launch, $999 at close. Buyer-agent incentives remain optional.
2 Housecoin advertises no upfront cost but charges 1% of sale price at close (marketed as “flat fee”).
3 Houzeo Silver plan: $249 list fee plus 0.5% at close, subject to $999 minimum (houzeo.com/pricing).
4 Traditional listing assumed 3% listing-side commission and 3% buyer-agent commission (typical 6% split).
