Massachusetts recently (September 2021) made a significant update to their form, but its release was not well publicized leaving many real estate agents and their brokers unaware.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mass.gov\/doc\/real-estate-board-agency-disclosure-form-english\/download\">Here<\/a><\/strong> is a link to the new version of the Massachusetts Real Estate Agency Disclosure Form in English. You can find this form in 8 different languages <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mass.gov\/lists\/real-estate-brokers-and-salespersons-forms\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The most notable update to this form is the timing of when an Agency Relationship Disclosure Form must be provided to a consumer. New language is <strong>&#8220;this form must be presented electronically or through some other means before the licensee enters into a contract with a consumer.&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong>The prior language stated &#8220;All real estate licensees must present this form to you at the first personal meeting with you to discuss a specific property&#8221;. This change was made, in part, because there are many scenarios where a licensee may never have a personal meeting with their client. Also, the definition of &#8220;personal meeting&#8221; was unclear.<\/p>\n<p>To keep up with the latest changes and trends in the real estate industry, visit Keep Me Certified and enroll in any of our video-based <a href=\"https:\/\/ma.keepmecertified.com\/catalog\">continuing ed<\/a> courses.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/slideshow\/embed_code\/key\/MA6xIcNrqWis14?hostedIn=slideshare&amp;page=upload\" width=\"476\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every state requires real estate licensees to provide consumers with a Consumer Relationship Disclosure Form (aka Agency Relationship Disclosure).
