DC Real Estate Commission Practice Test 2025 – Complete Exam Prep

The individual Neil was legally required to provide the DC Seller's Disclosure Statement to is the buyer who emailed him about the property. In real estate transactions, the Seller's Disclosure Statement is a legal document providing information about the condition of the property, and it is typically the responsibility of the seller or their agent to disclose this information to potential buyers.

When a buyer expresses serious interest and engages through a formal channel, such as an email, it establishes a level of seriousness that legally obligates the seller to provide essential documents, including the Seller's Disclosure Statement. This ensures the buyer has all necessary information to make an informed decision regarding the property.

In contrast, while other individuals may show interest—such as the buyer who called later or the one who mentioned being pre-approved—the formal communication via email indicates a stronger intention to pursue purchasing the property, making it more likely that Neil needs to provide them with the required disclosures. The first open house attendee would not be legally entitled to the disclosure unless there was an established interest or intent to engage in a transaction.
