State Consumer Protections
The Consumer Notice
Pennsylvania real estate law requires licensees to provide consumers with a disclosure statement at the initial interview. The disclosure statement is called the “Consumer Notice”.
The State of PA requires an agent to have you sign this.
By law the consumer notice must be signed as proof that you have received a written explanation of your rights.
The consumer notice is not a contract. Nor does it bind, or obligate you, in any way to an agent, or an agency.

The State of PA requires an agent to have you sign this.
It is illegal for a real estate agent to receive compensation for referring a mortgage company.
This is not a contract, nor does this obligate you in any way.
