Overview

Pennsylvania requires a comprehensive seller's property disclosure statement covering 16 categories of property condition and known defects.

Required Form: Seller's Property Disclosure Statement

Why we say "Seller-Managed Listing" instead of FSBO: The term FSBO (For Sale By Owner) carries a stigma of DIY, bargain-basement selling. Today's sellers who manage their own listings are intentional, informed, and professional — using tools like Show & Disclose to handle showings, disclosures, and buyer agent communication. That's not "for sale by owner." That's a Seller-Managed Listing — and it's the future of real estate.
