How to complete your seller disclosure
Minnesota asks you to tell buyers what you know about the property. Watch the short overview, then work through the online form at your own pace — you can save and come back.
How the online disclosure works
Best watched with sound on. Questions as you go? Call 763-251-9441.
What to have nearby
None of this is required to begin — the form saves as you go — but having it open makes the whole thing faster.
Dates of major work
Roof, furnace, water heater, windows, siding. Approximate years are fine.
Receipts or warranties
Anything still under warranty — appliances, radon mitigation, a newer roof.
Past repair records
Water intrusion, foundation work, mold remediation, insurance claims.
Association documents
If you're in a townhome or condo: dues, rules, and any pending assessments.
Five steps, start to signature
Open the link we emailed you
It's tied to your property, so the address and parcel details are already filled in. Use the same device you'd like to sign on.
Work through the sections
Structure, systems, water, environmental, and association. Answer what you know. Every question has a "not applicable" and an "unknown" option — use them honestly rather than guessing.
Add detail where it helps
A short note is better than a bare yes. "Basement seepage at the northwest corner after heavy rain, drain tile installed 2019" tells a buyer everything they need and closes the question for good.
Review with us
Send it back before you sign. We read every disclosure line by line and flag anything that reads unclear or invites a follow-up question later.
Sign electronically
You'll get a signed copy by email. It goes into the listing file and travels with every offer, so buyers see it up front.
What sellers usually ask
What if I honestly don't know?
Say so. "Unknown" is a legitimate answer and is far safer than a guess that turns out wrong. You're disclosing what you know, not certifying the condition of the house.
Do I have to disclose something I already fixed?
Yes — disclose the issue and the repair. A documented fix reassures buyers. An undocumented one looks like a discovery.
Will this scare buyers off?
Rarely. Buyers expect a lived-in house to have history. What costs sellers money is a surprise found during inspection, after an offer is already on the table.
Can I change it after I submit?
You can amend it any time before closing, and you should if something new comes up — a leak, a failed appliance, a notice from the city. Tell us and we'll send an amendment.
What if I bought the home recently?
You disclose your own knowledge. If you have the prior owner's disclosure, send it along — we can pass it through as supporting material.
Rather do it with us on the phone?
Most sellers finish in about twenty minutes on a call. We'll read the questions, you answer, we type.
