 Feb 2011. King County Regulations on OSS and Brokers Responsibilities Underwent Some Change

Last week, one of our senior closers approached me with a situation that caused some delay in closing a purchase transaction. The problem stemmed from a Feb. 2011 change in reporting on OSS (on site sewage) in which a real estate broker had omitted details on the property of an on site sewer (septic tank).  The transaction went sailing along until a look at the title report revealed the presence of a septic system. Our closer scrambled to get the needed documentation, inspection reports, and notice 22-U for the buyers, but King County announced it had changed its reporting requirements to

buyers-sellers_street_sign_575

Home buyers and -sellers alike often bristle with anticipatory irritation at the mere thought of all the paperwork they expect they’ll have to come up with to do their transaction, above and beyond the basic loan application, contract, disclosures and closing docs. And these worries start way in advance; it’s as though, before they even start visiting open houses, buyers begin to visualize - and dread - spending hours upon hours in the dank catacombs of the Vatican (à la Da Vinci Code) combing through ancient files, seeking some rare and precious artifact documenting their childhood dental history or genealogy.
