Wholesaler Disclosure (RSMo 407.3600)
Signed at least 14 days before the contract.
Missouri law requires a wholesaler acting as a grantee, before entering into a contract or agreement that conveys an interest in residential real property, to provide certain information to the record owner in a conspicuous manner printed in boldface type font size not less than twelve points. Failure by a wholesaler to present or complete this form shall be considered an unlawful and unfair practice under the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act. Any person who enters into an agreement that conveys an interest in residential real property to a wholesaler acting as a grantee without receiving this disclosure has a cause of action against the wholesaler. A wholesaler acting as a grantee is prohibited from entering into a binding contract to acquire an interest in residential real property unless this statement is signed and dated by the record owner of the property.
The owner acknowledges that the person presenting this document is a wholesaler, as defined in section 407.3600 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, and that the owner is advised to seek legal advice before entering into any agreement or contract with the wholesaler. A wholesaler is acting on the wholesaler's own behalf and does not represent the owner in this transaction. A wholesaler enters assignable contracts with owners and seeks to sell or assign the wholesaler's interest for a profit. The wholesaler may assign the wholesaler's interest in the purchase contract to a third party without the owner's consent before closing. The wholesaler may charge a fee to the third-party buyer separately for profit. The agreed purchase price between the owner and wholesaler may be below market value and is conveyed voluntarily.
The owner acknowledges disclosure of the information provided in this form by signing and dating below:

Required Notices (RSA 477:4-a): for property that includes a building, give and sign before the purchase agreement
Signed before the contract.
Radon: Radon, the product of decay of radioactive materials in rock, may be found in some areas of New Hampshire. Radon gas may pass into a structure through the ground or through water from a deep well. Testing of the air by a professional certified in radon testing and testing of the water by an accredited laboratory can establish radon's presence and equipment is available to remove it from the air or water. Arsenic: Arsenic is a common groundwater contaminant in New Hampshire that occurs at unhealthy levels in well water in many areas of the state. Tests are available to determine whether arsenic is present at unsafe levels, and equipment is available to remove it from water. The buyer is encouraged to consult the New Hampshire department of environmental services private well testing recommendations (www.des.nh.gov) to ensure a safe water supply if the subject property is served by a private well. Lead: Before 1978, paint containing lead may have been used in structures. Exposure to lead from the presence of flaking, chalking, chipping lead paint or lead paint dust from friction surfaces, or from the disturbance of intact surfaces containing lead paint through unsafe renovation, repair, or painting practices, or from soils in close proximity to the building, can present a serious health hazard, especially to young children and pregnant women. Lead may also be present in drinking water as a result of lead in service lines, plumbing and fixtures. Tests are available to determine whether lead is present in paint or drinking water. PFAS: Poly-and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are found in products that are used in domestic, commercial, institutional and industrial settings. These chemical compounds have been detected at levels that exceed federal and/or state advisories or standards in wells throughout New Hampshire, but are more frequently detected at elevated levels in southern New Hampshire. Testing of the water by an accredited laboratory can measure PFAS levels and inform a buyer's decision regarding the need to install water treatment systems. Flood: Properties in coastal areas and along waterways may be subject to increased risk of flooding over time. A standard homeowners insurance policy typically does not cover flood damage. The buyer is encouraged to determine whether separate flood insurance is required and consult the Federal Emergency Management Agency's flood maps (FEMA.GOV) in order to determine if the property is in a designated flood zone.
Seller Disclosures (RSA 477:4-c, 477:4-d, 477:4-g, 477:4-h)

Wholesaler Disclosure Statement (R.C. 5301.95)
Signed before the contract.
Ohio law requires a wholesaler acting as a grantee, before entering into a contract or agreement that conveys an interest in residential real property, to provide certain information to the record owner in a conspicuous manner printed in boldface type in a font size not less than twelve points. Failure by a wholesaler to present or complete this form is an unfair or deceptive act or practice. Any person who enters into an agreement that conveys an interest in residential real property to a wholesaler acting as a grantee without receiving this disclosure has a cause of action against the wholesaler. A wholesaler acting as a grantee is prohibited from entering into a binding contract to acquire an interest in residential real property unless this statement is signed and dated by the record owner of the property. The owner acknowledges that the person presenting this document is a wholesaler, as defined by section 5301.95 of the Revised Code, and that all buyers and sellers of real estate are entitled to seek legal or professional advice before entering into any agreement or contract regarding the purchase or sale of property, including an agreement with a wholesaler. A wholesaler is acting on the wholesaler's own behalf and does not represent the owner in this transaction. A wholesaler enters assignable contracts with owners and seeks to sell or assign the wholesaler's interest for a profit. The wholesaler may assign the wholesaler's interest in the purchase contract to a third party without the owner's consent before closing. The wholesaler may charge a fee to the third-party buyer separately for profit. The agreed purchase price between the owner and wholesaler may be below market value and is conveyed voluntarily.
The owner acknowledges disclosure of the information provided in this form by signing and dating below:
