The Maine seller disclosure form, or Seller’s Property Disclosure, is a 3-page document developed by the Maine Association of Realtors. It’s designed to help you disclose any known issues or facts about your home that could impact its value or a buyer’s decision to purchase the property. Maine law requires sellers to disclose all — in other words, anything that could impact the buyer’s use or enjoyment of the property.
