To protect the buyer, when should information about the property's history, including disclosures, be presented?

Dropped off during closing
At the time of the offer
Before the earlier of offer preparation or property showing
Immediately after the final negotiations

The correct answer is: Before the earlier of offer preparation or property showing

Timely disclosure of a property's history is crucial to ensuring that buyers are well-informed about what they are potentially purchasing. Presenting this information before either the preparation of an offer or a property showing allows the buyer ample opportunity to consider any issues that may affect their decision. This proactive approach fosters transparency and trust between the buyer and the seller, ensuring that buyers are not blindsided by problems that could impact their investment. Providing disclosures at this stage also aligns with various legal requirements and ethical guidelines in real estate transactions. It empowers buyers to make informed choices regarding their offers, possibly leading to more satisfactory transactions for all parties involved. Waiting until the closing or after negotiations would not allow the buyer sufficient time to absorb this information and make a knowledgeable decision, potentially resulting in misinformed decisions about their purchase.
