March 18 at 12pm - MAR Forms Update - Register here

Join MAR Legal Counsel Jaymie Bowditch, President Angela Klein-Hughes, and Forms Subcommittee Chair Mike Nugent for a focused overview of the 2025 MAR form updates — now live across DocuSign, Dotloop, SkySlope, TransactionDesk, and zipForm.

We’ll cover the most substantive changes to:

  • Buy-Sell Agreements (including FinCEN reporting, tax structure notice, buyer breach language, septic disclosure checkbox, and more)
  • Listing Agreements (compensation disclosures, FIRPTA revisions, FinCEN notice, total seller-paid compensation section)
  • Buyer Representation Agreements (clarified compensation structure and compliance updates)
  • New Forms, including Square Footage Disclosure and Utility Services History Release

A comprehensive memo with detailed line references will be distributed soon. In the meantime, this session will ensure you are prepared to confidently implement the revised forms in upcoming transactions.

We encourage all members to attend.
