Keep buyer mortgage guidance separately labeled. For covered transactions involving a seller, the CFPB regulation assigns the seller-related disclosures to the settlement professional. It requires the actual terms of the seller's transaction. [CFPB seller disclosure provision, checked 2026.10.22](https://www.consumerfinance.gov/rules-policy/regulations/1026/19/#f-4-i). This is a website brief for a real estate agent. It is not advice about a particular settlement, deadline, charge, or right. ## What should the resource help a seller do? Help the seller identify the document they received and prepare precise questions for its preparer. State that purpose before any inquiry form. The page should not imply that reading an explainer confirms the document is complete or correct. ## Is this the same as a seller net sheet? Present them as different stages of the workflow. Label your net sheet as an estimate and the received settlement document by its actual title and version. The seller disclosure provision concerns actual transaction terms. [CFPB seller disclosure rule, checked 2026.10.22](https://www.consumerfinance.gov/rules-policy/regulations/1026/19/#f-4-i). ## Does every seller receive an identical form? Do not promise a universal form. Ask the settlement professional which document applies to the transaction. CFPB permits a separate seller disclosure presentation under its form-modification provisions. Keep the public page's explanation limited to the document it identifies. [CFPB permitted modifications, checked 2026.10.22](https://www.consumerfinance.gov/rules-policy/regulations/1026/38/#t-5). ## Who should answer document-preparation questions? Identify the settlement contact responsible for the seller's document. The federal seller provision assigns delivery to the settlement provider. Your website can organize a question and identify a contact. It should not imply that the website builder prepares settlement disclosures. [CFPB responsibility, checked 2026.10.22](https://www.consumerfinance.gov/rules-policy/regulations/1026/19/#f-4-i). ## When does the federal seller provision require delivery? For transactions within its scope, it requires delivery no later than the day of consummation. Ask the settlement professional to explain applicability and the actual schedule. Requesting earlier review is a coordination preference, not a different statutory deadline. [CFPB seller timing, checked 2026.10.22](https://www.consumerfinance.gov/rules-policy/regulations/1026/19/#f-4-ii). ## Should buyer timing guidance appear as seller timing? Keep it separately labeled. CFPB's consumer explainer describes the buyer's mortgage Closing Disclosure and its advance-review requirement. Link that resource as buyer context without assigning its timing to the seller. [CFPB consumer explainer, checked 2026.10.22](https://www.consumerfinance.gov/owning-a-home/closing-disclosure/). ## What should a seller check before comparing amounts? Start with the property, parties, document date, and version. Ask the preparer to confirm that the copy belongs to the transaction under discussion. This is a recommended review sequence. It does not establish the legal effect of signing or receiving the document. ## Which figures deserve a question list? Use the document's actual labels for the sale price, seller-paid costs, credits, payoffs, adjustments, and amount due. Ask the preparer to explain unfamiliar entries. CFPB's content rule identifies seller transaction summaries and settlement charges. [CFPB disclosure contents, checked 2026.10.22](https://www.consumerfinance.gov/rules-policy/regulations/1026/38/). ## What should accompany a question about a changed amount? Identify the line, the current document version, and the record the seller expected it to match. Ask the preparer to explain the difference. Avoid asking a website calculator to decide which amount is authoritative. ## How should a seller ask about a loan payoff? Ask which payoff statement supports the entry and whether its applicable date matches the planned settlement. Route the question to the preparer and lender through approved contacts. Do not publish account numbers or payoff documents in a public website inquiry. ## How should credits and agreed changes be reviewed? Ask the responsible professionals to compare the settlement entry with the executed agreement or amendment. Keep the proposed question descriptive. The resource should not decide whether an informal message created an enforceable credit or whether a contract change is valid. ## What should the page say about prorations? Tell the seller to ask which period, source amount, and allocation support the entry. Avoid supplying a national tax or rental adjustment formula. The relevant amounts and method for the particular sale are UNRESOLVED until the preparer confirms them. ## Can the page supply a sample document? Link an official example or explainer with a clear audience label. The CFPB consumer explainer is a buyer-mortgage resource, not a completed seller statement. Obtain review before publishing any separate seller example. Do not repurpose a private client file as public teaching material. ## Should the seller upload the entire statement through the website? Offer a general question first and move any necessary document exchange to an approved secure process. Keep loan identifiers, signatures, and financial details out of ordinary public-form fields. These are recommended intake limits, not a claim about a particular platform's security. ## What should the inquiry form ask? Ask for a reply method, the document topic, and a short description of the question. Let the seller identify whether the preparer has already been contacted. Request private supporting documents later through the approved channel when needed. ## What should the confirmation promise? Describe the observed submission and expected review step. Do not call the document checked, approved, or reconciled because a form was submitted. Assign the receiving person before approving the confirmation wording. ## Does the disclosure prove proceeds have been received? Treat disclosure review and payment confirmation as separate tasks in the page's instructions. Ask the settlement professional how the seller will verify disbursement. Do not label a displayed total as a bank balance or a completed transfer. ## Should the resource provide payment instructions? Keep transaction payment instructions outside this generic page. Ask the settlement professional to specify the approved verification process. A resource page should not become a destination for entering bank credentials or changing disbursement details. ## How should a correction request be tracked? Record the question, recipient, response, and document version. Ask the preparer whether a revised disclosure is required. The CFPB seller timing provision also addresses specified post-consummation corrections. Leave its application to the transaction reviewer. [CFPB corrections provision, checked 2026.10.22](https://www.consumerfinance.gov/rules-policy/regulations/1026/19/#f-4-ii). ## Who should answer a tax or contract question? Route tax treatment to the seller's tax professional and legal interpretation to counsel. Keep the real estate agent's coordination role clear. The website should not infer tax liability, a cancellation right, or an obligation to sign from a document label. ## What should be checked before the page goes live? Confirm the audience labels, official links, review date, inquiry recipient, and privacy instructions. Test a marked question through the form. Retain the received message as evidence. Review the explanation with the settlement professional before publication. ## What should go into the website brief? Send the existing page, approved seller-resource wording, official links, and intended receiving contact through [the website brief](/work). Request a scope for the explanation and inquiry route. Keep individual transaction review outside the website implementation task.
