Alaska Real Estate Overview
Alaska's real estate practices are largely standard, with closings handled by title or escrow companies. Alaska is a community property state for married couples. The state has shorter daylight seasons and extreme weather that make winterizing and home inspections especially important.
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
Mandatory Written Disclosure Form
Alaska law (AS 34.70.010 et seq.) requires home sellers to provide buyers with a completed written disclosure statement covering the property’s condition *before* the buyer makes a written offer. The standard “Residential Real Property Transfer Disclosure Statement” includes information on the home's systems, defects, and repair history.
County & City Considerations
Local Requirements
No additional city-specific seller disclosures are required in Alaska beyond the state-mandated form. Sellers should follow any general local property regulations (for example, municipal codes on smoke detectors or zoning), but there are no unique local disclosure forms for sales.
Seller Disclosure Requirements
What sellers must disclose in Alaska:
- Written disclosure statement required (Alaska Stat. § 34.70.010 et seq.)
- Residential Real Property Transfer Disclosure Statement (standard form)
- Must disclose roof leaks, foundation problems, plumbing/electrical defects
- Environmental hazards and methamphetamine manufacturing disclosure
- Deaths on property disclosure (murders/suicides in last 3 years)
- Permafrost or soil instability disclosure where relevant
MLS Rules & Listing Logistics
Listing Agreement and MLS Access
In Alaska, only licensed brokers who belong to the local MLS can list properties. Sellers must sign a listing agreement authorizing the broker to place the home on the MLS. MLS policies mirror national standards: a signed listing contract is required, and listings must be submitted promptly once marketing begins (per the Clear Cooperation rule). Photos and accurate data are typically required by MLS rules (e.g., at least one property photo soon after listing).
How Much Equity You Keep on a $383,000 Sale
Every seller sees the math before launch. We assume a $11,490 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 | $199 | $999 | $1,198 | $11,490 | $12,688 | $10,292 |
| Housecoin “Flat Fee”2 | $0 | $3,830 | $3,830 | $11,490 | $15,320 | $7,660 |
| Houzeo Silver Plan3 | $249 | $1,915 | $2,164 | $11,490 | $13,654 | $9,326 |
| Traditional 6% Agent4 | $0 | $11,490 | $11,490 | $11,490 | $22,980 | — |
* 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: $199 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).
