California Real Estate Transaction Laws

The California Department of Real Estate has published this booklet in response to an apparent need for information concerning disclosures required in real property transactions. This booklet is limited to disclosures required by statute and does not include disclosures required by agreement between the principals (buyer and seller; borrower and lender; lessee and lessor, etc.).

Should you need assistance or further information, consult your attorney or a knowledgeable real estate professional. Also, this booklet has a list of government agencies which you may contact for further information.

The Department of Real Estate originally published this booklet pursuant to a research contract. This booklet presents a brief overview of current real estate disclosure requirements. Because the laws concerning disclosure obligations may change, you should use this booklet only as a general source of information. You should research any area of interest before proceeding and, should the situation warrant, discuss the matter with an attorney.
