Compliance Snapshot (Arkansas)
State Requirements
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.
MLS Notices
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.
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.
