Notice To All Buyers And Sellers

The purpose of this notice is to acquaint real estate buyers and sellers with common or generally suggested practices within the real estate industry, and to alert prospective real estate buyers and sellers to various issues which may be important to different types of real estate transactions they may be contemplating.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY/FAIR HOUSING All associates of First Weber are committed to give equal service to all as provided by law. Buyers/Sellers are advised that local, state, and federal fair housing laws prohibit discrimination by Broker.

HOME WARRANTY Home warranty programs are available at the sole discretion and option of the Buyers or Sellers. These warranties cover certain components of the property prior to closing and for a term of approximately one (1) year from the date of closing, and may be purchased by either the Buyer, or by the Seller for the benefit of the Buyer and Seller. (See Notice of Affiliated Business Arrangement Disclosure.)

MLS (Multiple Listing Service) First Weber Group is associated with various MLS services. Information supplied through the MLS services is provided by sellers, listing brokers, and other parties, and may not have been verified. First Weber Group assumes the information provided by the MLS services is current but does not guarantee or assume responsibility for its accuracy. First Weber Group recommends that information supplied through the MLS services, if concerning items or elements material to Buyers, be independently verified by Buyers, and that other items or elements of concern to Buyers, such as school district, number of bedrooms, type of electrical service, insulation, etc., also be verified by Buyers.

TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE/MEASUREMENTS Buyers acknowledge that any land, building, or room dimensions, building square footage, or total acreage figures, are often only approximations, based upon rounding of measurements or various formulas used to calculate area totals. If the size or dimensions of any particular part of the property or total square footage or acreage is material to Buyers’ decision to purchase, Buyers understand they must independently verify the sizes, dimensions, square footage or acreage. Buyers understand that the Broker does not warrant the accuracy of any such measurements or figures, and Buyers are not to rely upon unverified measurements or figures supplied by Broker.

FINANCING Broker may recommend a financial institution or other lender for Buyers to consider when Buyers are in need of a mortgage, and Broker may assist in obtaining prequalification or preapproval for a loan, but Broker is not responsible for determining the type or terms of the mortgage. Buyers should compare rates and programs. Choice of lender and type of mortgage are at Buyers’ discretion. (See Notice of Affiliated Business Arrangement Disclosure.)

TITLE INSURANCE/ABSTRACT OF TITLE Broker will facilitate any closing by assisting Buyers to obtain a title commitment, or an updated abstract, as called for in the Offer. The title company may also be retained to collect necessary information (e.g., mortgage payoffs, tax prorations, etc.), and to prepare closing statements. Absent written direction from the parties, First Weber Group shall select a title company. Cost of a title policy is customarily paid by Sellers. The parties should compare rates and policies at their discretion. (See Notice of Affiliated Business Arrangement Disclosure.)

HOME WARRANTY Broker recommends the parties consider using a home warranty program. A home warranty may be purchased by Seller to provide coverage prior to closing and for a period of one (1) year from closing, or may be purchased by Buyer upon closing to cover one (1) year from closing. Coverage is dependent upon the program selected and policy terms of the home warranty. (See Notice of Affiliated Business Arrangement Disclosure.)

FEDERAL LEAD BASED PAINT (LBP) DISCLOSURE The federal law specifically requires Sellers and landlords of most residential housing built before 1978 to: 1) disclose the presence of known LBP; 2) provide Buyers and tenants with any available records or reports about LBP in the housing; and 3) provide Buyers and tenants with a federally-approved lead hazard information pamphlet. Offers to purchase and leases must contain disclosures and acknowledgments. The regulations do not require testing for LBP; nor do they require removal of such paint or hazards; but Buyers have the right to include a contingency in the offer to purchase allowing Buyers to inspect for LBP. Real estate agents must ensure compliance with these requirements.

ASBESTOS, LEAD, RADON GAS, MOLD AND LEAD BASED PAINT, ETC. Buyers/Sellers are aware that public information sources indicate that asbestos, vermiculite, lead in drinking water, radium, radon gas, mold, lead based paint, and other toxic substances and chemicals within a structure or in soils or water supplies can cause serious health hazards. Broker may provide general information, but cannot guarantee the applicability or accuracy as applied to any specific property. First Weber Group recommends that Buyers/Sellers have the property thoroughly inspected and tested by professionally qualified inspectors or testers addressing the presence of any of these and other substances or potential hazards of concern to Buyers.

TESTING If Buyers desire the “testing” of any substance, drinking water, soils, air, or other elements on the property, or any area of the property, a testing contingency must be specifically provided for that purpose in the Offer to Purchase. NOTE: Sellers’ authorization for inspections does not authorize Buyers to conduct testing of the property.

INSPECTION Sellers must disclose known defects and certain conditions affecting the property being sold, as provided in ch. 709, Wis. Stats. Buyers remain responsible for ascertaining if the condition of the property is satisfactory for Buyers’ purpose. Buyers are responsible for performing a reasonably vigilant inspection of the property. Buyers may not be able to hold Sellers or Broker liable for failure to disclose defects that are readily observable. First Weber Group recommends that prospective Buyers have the property being purchased thoroughly inspected by a professionally qualified inspector (e.g., a State of Wisconsin registered Home Inspector or licensed professional engineer). The inspection(s) should cover all applicable parts of the property, such as: structural, mechanical, heating, electrical, plumbing, wells, and septic systems, etc., and should address all other factors material to the Buyers.

THIRD PARTY PROFESSIONALS Broker, Broker’s agents, or Broker’s Concierge service may recommend names of various lenders, contractors, inspectors, inspection and/or testing companies, surveyors, contractors, attorneys, and other third party professionals for Buyers’ or Sellers’ consideration. Buyers and Sellers understand that they remain responsible for selection of any such third party professionals, comparison of prices and services, and are responsible for determining whether any third party professionals have the adequate expertise and are sufficiently qualified to render the desired services. Buyers and Sellers understand that the Broker does not perform inspections, tests, surveys, and other such activities, and that the Broker does not ensure the quality of service of third parties and is not responsible for the actions of third party professionals utilized by Buyers or Sellers.

NOTE: Broker is obligated to disclose adverse material facts made known to Broker, as required by law.
However, Broker does not warrant the condition of the property being purchased.

LAND USE RESTRICTIONS, REGULATIONS, AND NONCONFORMING USES Buyers/Sellers are aware many different laws, regulations and land use restrictions, including zoning and subdivision statutes and ordinances, building codes, restrictions on nonconforming properties and uses, as well as deed restrictions, restrictive covenants, subdivision regulations, and homeowners’ association rules, may affect the use and value of property. For instance, non-conforming properties or uses may restrict Buyers’ ability to build, rebuild, remodel, replace, or enlarge an existing structure, and may restrict Buyers’ use of an existing structure or property. Buyers should contact the state, county, or local municipal authorities regarding any potential non-conforming structure or use as well as deed restrictions, restrictive covenants, or subdivision regulations, to verify suitability to Buyer and Buyers’ intended use of the property.

SCHOOL DISTRICTS, PARKS, AND COMMUNITY FACILITIES Buyers are aware that various community amenities, such a particular school district, and proximity to parks, green spaces, conservancy districts, and other community attributes and facilities may be material to their purchase of a given property. Buyers are also aware that school districts may change and the existence and usage of parks, green spaces, conservancy districts, and other community attributes and facilities may change. If such community features and amenities are material to Buyers, Buyers acknowledge and understand that they must verify all such information directly with the municipality, school district, or other community entities involved.

AREA CONDITIONS Properties are affected by existing and proposed developments, public projects, and construction in the area surrounding the property. If such existing or future conditions of the area are of concern to Buyer, Buyer should become more familiar with the surrounding area, prior to writing an Offer to Purchase, and should contact local municipal officials regarding any proposed development or projects as may be known.

FLOOD PLAINS/WETLANDS Buyers are aware that the flood plain and wetland maps referred to in the offer often lack detail, are difficult to interpret, and may not be accurate. If material, Buyers should consult with appropriate government officials to verify accuracy or applicability. Buyers/Sellers are aware that site elevations may need to be verified by professionals. The cost of flood plain insurance, if required by Buyers’ lender, is customarily paid by Buyers.

SANITARY DISTRICT OR POWTS Property in a sanitary district may be subject to taxes, special assessments, or other charges for sewer planning or construction, user fees, and related costs. Property served by septic, or “private onsite wastewater treatment systems” (POWTS), is subject to state and local regulation. Some counties require a maintenance plan and may impose notification or inspection requirements for transfer of ownership.

USE-VALUE ASSESSMENTS/AGRICULTURAL LAND Under Wis. Stats.§ 70.32(2r)(use-value assessment) Sellers must disclose whether the land sold with the property is subject to use-value assessment, whether the land is subject to a penalty under the use-value system, and whether a penalty on the land has been deferred. Change of use of agricultural or other property subject to use-value taxation may subject Buyers/Owners to substantial penalties. Buyers developing or changing use of land subject to use-value assessment should allow sufficient time to consult with local and state authorities regarding any possible penalty and/or tax consequences. Note: Buyers of rural, agricultural, cropland, forest land, etc., should inquire with Sellers and governmental authorities whether the property is subject to conservation, farmland, environmental or other land use programs or agreements affecting use and taxation of the property, and whether any penalties, assessments, or payback obligations are pending, deferred, or will accrue upon change in use of the property.

ELECTRIC SERVICE: Buyer and Seller are aware that if a property has tube or aluminum wiring or if a property’s electrical service uses fuses or is less than 100 amps, lender and homeowners insurance companies may require that the service be upgraded to no less than a 100 amp circuit breaker service and may require that any tube or aluminum wiring be replaced with wiring consistent with current codes. An electrician should be consulted.

INSURANCE/INSURABILITY Buyers/Sellers are aware that homeowners insurance carriers may decline to insure certain properties or certain Buyers. Buyers/Sellers understand that Broker is not an insurance expert and cannot guarantee insurability of any particular properties or Buyers. Broker recommends Buyers consult Buyers’ insurance agent or insurance company before committing to purchase, to confirm Buyers’ insurability and insurability of the property by Buyers. If insurability is or may be a concern, a contingency may be included in the offer to purchase to allow verification of insurability.

FWG INSURANCE SERVICES, LLC is an independent insurance agency, partly owned by First Weber Group, which provides homeowners and other insurance products for the consideration of First Weber Group clients and customers or other prospective Buyers or homeowners. Buyer contact and property information may be forwarded to FWG Insurance Services for purposes of providing Buyer with a complimentary quotation for Buyer’s review to compare quotations and possible discounts. FWG Insurance Services also offers policies for auto, life, farm, recreational, and other types of insurance. FWG Insurance Services may be contacted directly or may contact prospective Buyers directly. Note: First Weber Group provides your real estate services, but is not responsible for securing or advising about insurance. (See Notice of Affiliated Business Arrangement Disclosure.)

CO-BROKERAGE COMPENSATION POLICIES For transactions involving a Buyer or Selling subagent outside First Weber Group, Broker’s general co-brokerage cooperation policy is to split commission with all other co-brokerage MLS members, or as otherwise stated in the MLS, unless there is a co-brokerage agreement or policy letter providing a different arrangement. All parties are advised that a Buyer/tenant agent may represent Buyer’s/tenant’s interest in a transaction even though compensation may be paid through the listing broker and/or Seller/landlord.

BUYER AGENCY NOTICE Buyers represented by a Buyer’s Agent may often write offers requesting that their Buyer’s Agency fee be paid from Sellers’ proceeds at closing. First Weber Group recommends attempting to facilitate this by keeping the Buyer’s Agency fee intact in the offer to purchase. Should the Buyers’ Agency fee be greater than the amount of commission offered for co-brokerage, the First Weber Group agent can calculate Sellers’ net proceeds, and if necessary, recommend a counteroffer at a price sufficient to retain Sellers’ desired net proceeds and accommodate Buyers’ agency fee.

DUAL AGENCY AND DESIGNATED AGENCY POLICY In transactions where both Sellers’ agent and Buyer’s agent are agents of First Weber Group, the amount of commission will be limited to the amount previously determined by the listing contract.

TRANSACTION FEE The transaction fee charged by First Weber Group, noted in an agency contract, and which may be included an Offer, is additional commission. For a description and rationale for this charge, ask the First Weber Group agent for a copy of the brochure entitled “Transaction Fee.”

CHILD SUPPORT LIEN: Wisconsin's child support collection system affects Sellers and Buyers of real estate. The State "dockets" child support arrears in an electronic database. The arrearage becomes a lien against the delinquent payor's real and titled personal property. If you now pay, or have paid, child support you must determine whether any arrearages have been docketed. The Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development oversees the Child Support Lien Docket. You may check at: https://www.dwd.state.wi.us/liendocketweb. The access code is 1708.

SEX OFFENDER DISCLOSURE You may obtain information about the sex offender registry and persons registered with the registry by contacting the Wisconsin Department of Corrections on the Internet at http://offender.doc.state.wi.us/public or by phone at 877-234-0085.

LEGAL ADVICE State law prohibits real estate licensees from giving legal advice. First Weber always recommends that you be represented by independent legal counsel throughout the transaction process. All agreements relating to the purchase of real estate are required to be in writing.
