Risk Tip of the Week:
READ Before Signing...the Public Report
The Public
Report is one of the very important documents involved when
you represent your client in the purchase of a new
construction home. As you start through the myriad of
papers for the purchase, the site salesperson will hand your
client this report. At that time, they generally ask the
Buyer sign an acknowledgement showing the document has been
provided and the fine print will also say and it is
understood.

intended to raise important issues relevant to risk reduction.
This tip is not intended to be legal advice. It should not be a
substitute for advice of professional counsel or the assistance provided by
